PENINGKATAN KEMAMPUAN MENCATAT (NOTE TAKING) TEKS BAHASA INGGRIS DENGAN FORMAT CORNELL
Abstract
An issue faced by students nowadays is not knowing how to take notes effectively with certain techniques so that the results of a record or a summary simply copy the information verbatim from the existing text. The main purpose of this study is to improve the students’ ability in note taking on English texts with the Cornell format and to figure out the format’s benefits. Some important parts of the note taking process that have not been mastered by the students included finding important ideas from the text, describing and recording the conclusions of the text, rewriting ideas, and writing down bibliographic details such as names of the authors, titles of books, journals, publishers, publications, journal pages, and web addresses. This study used pre-experimental method with the one-shot case study design, taking a sample of 15 students from the Department of English Education, University of Muhammadiyah Aceh. Data were taken from the student worksheets using the Cornell format, and analyzed descriptively and compared with the scoring rubric adapted from AVID. The results showed that 60% of students were able to achieve category 2 (fair), and as many as 40% were in category 3 (good). These results showed that the Cornell note taking technique has been useful in helping the students improve their ability to take notes on the English texts.
