Most importantly, we thank the students for their time and co-operation in filling our survey Executive Summary The effectiveness of PowerPoint as a teaching aid was observed since its introduction in 1997. In the initial years, the response from the students was highly positive. This could be acknowledged from the higher grades, increase in attendance and reduction in disruptive behaviour, when compared to other mediums like the blackboard and transparent overheads. But, there was also a study which showed that the students’ performance depended on the difficulty of the lecture and not on the medium of teaching. Still, the positive...

...The Use of Guided Notes for Active Engagement during Teacher-Directed Lectures By Anna Jessica B. Pantujan Holy Cross of Davao College, Sta. Ana Ave., Davao City Introduction It has been said that students learn by doing. It follows that if one increases the doing, the result is an increase in learning (Blackwell & McLaughlin, 2005). Research indicates that student achievement improves when teachers provide opportunities for active engagement (Konrad, Joseph & Eveleigh, 2009). The major educational goals of student understanding of content and application of skills are commonly pursued via lecture in classroom settings. Students are held accountable for obtaining information from the lectures, and performance is evaluated on class exams and quizzes. Therefore, students should take thorough notes during lectures so they can refer to the content at a later time (Boyle, 2001). Marzano, Pickering and Pollock (2001) identify note taking as one of the research based strategies for increasing student achievement. Despite the importance of this behavior, however, students are often poor note takers (Austin, Lee & Carr, 2004). Since note-taking can be a difficult task for some students, the use of guided notes can give students a standard set of notes for future references (e.g., tests and quizzes) as well as eliminate the possible frustration, lack of motivation, and off-task behaviors that may exist due to poor note-taking skills (Anderson, Yilmaz &...
