Applying the Cornell Note-Taking Method to Enhance Reading Comprehension for High School Students

Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 03

Abstract

Reading comprehension requires simultaneous information extraction and meaning construction, involving active text engagement. However, most high school students have difficulty understanding and effectively remembering the text they have read. This study evaluated the impact of the Cornell note-taking method on the reading comprehension of 11th-grade students at Ngo Quyen High School. The research design included an experimental group applying the Cornell note-taking method on reading materials and a control group using conventional reading strategies. The methods were assessed through pre- and post-tests. The results indicated that the experimental group outperformed the control group in reading comprehension scores, showing a significant improvement. In addition, to analyze students' attitudes toward this method, the researcher surveyed questionnaires and interviews. It was concluded that the Cornell note-taking method should be integrated into instruction to help learners understand complex reading materials. The impact of this method on student achievement needs further study to understand its application in other subjects.
