To improve my information retention abilities, and to enhance my capacity to structure and organize the abundant amounts of information I’m scribbling down and accumulate on a daily basis, I decided to dive into the topic of note-taking. Right note-taking practice can be extremely helpful in work, research, and learning. It enhances performance and achievement, as I learnt.

For this, I have talked to Professor Kenneth Kiewra, who we could call the world-champion of note-taking. Kenneth is a Professor Educational Psychology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and has been studying note-taking techniques for over 40 years. He obtained his PhD in the year when I was born, published a great many books, and developed and validated the SOAR teaching and learning method. This method is shared with tens of thousands of teachers and students world-wide, and his insights and work on note-taking, with many more.

As in the nature of the animal, Kenneth even got some slides out during our talk which helped bring the examples to life. I gained a lot of new insights during my talk, and I’m sure this will help you too improve your note-taking, and thereby your achievements. Enjoy!
