구성주의적 노트테이킹 수업 경험에 관한 연구

Abstract

Although note-taking inarguably plays an important part in consecutive interpreting, prescriptive teaching of note-taking strategies can be challenging as the technique remains highly individual and requires practice. The constructivist approach has thus been embraced by a handful of researchers in the last few years to encourage group work and help students maximize learning outcomes. This study incorporates this recent direction in note-taking research to explore how students co-construct note-taking knowledge. Six note-taking techniques adapted from Rozan – verticality, nuance markers, symbols and abbreviations, noting the idea, links and logical connections, dynamic note-taking – were used as first year T&I graduate students engaged in constructivist classroom discussions and activities over the course of six weeks. Students’ experiences were captured in the form of journals and survey, which hinted at continued integration of new knowledge with the existing ones. As students engaged in group exercises designed to encourage inquiry-based learning and personal reflection, prior knowledge was brought to the learning process, thereby enabling students to shape and reshape their own concepts of note-taking. This study is expected to prompt interpreter trainers and learners to explore new possibilities for teaching and learning note-taking, thereby encouraging new knowledge formation.
