What are guided notes? The authors define guided notes as “teacher-prepared materials that guide a student through a lecture with standard cues and prepared space.” And they found that the research is very positive. Guided notes can improve student learning outcomes, lead to better note-taking, and increase student participation. And, students like them!
Interestingly, they found that visual guided notes were better than linear notes or slides. For example, giving students a matrix to fill in during lecture or another kind of graphic organizer.
