Summary
Mostly used from primary school to university years, is preferred in everyday life after university as well. When it is regarded in terms of timing, note taking is a skill that has two components. The first one is about the moment when note is taken, about focusing on the things seen, read or listened, and about concentrating on that moment. The latter one is about recording notes for using in the future. Zhang (2012) described note taking as writing main idea and important points regarding the information presented during listening.
