Esse percurso foi reconstruído tomando por base anotações realizadas nos materiais escolares dos alunos e está organizado em quatro situações de anotação que se configuram como cópia, transcrição, retextualização e anotação como comentário e análise.A anotação escolar é defendida nesta tese como um gênero discursivo, a partir das indicações de estudos sobre gêneros aportados pela reflexão de Bakhtin, que se expressa composicionalmente, desde as formas diversas de rastros de leitura até a tentativa de sistematização e organização dos conhecimentos escolares. A compreensão de como se dá a apropriação da anotação enquanto gênero discursivo que vai do Ensino Fundamental à Pós-graduação nos oferece contribuições não só quanto a constituição de um gênero discursivo, mas também mostra como o aluno dota esse gênero de um estilo próprio ao longo dos seus anos de estudos na escola, fornecendo indícios para a implementação de mudanças no que concerne à formação dos professores e sua relação com o processo de ensino e aprendizagem da língua materna / Abstract: This paper presents the construction of a possible trajectory of appropriation of notetaking, from elementary school to post-graduation studies. This trajectory was reconstructed from notes written on the students material, and it is organized in four situations of note-taking which are: copy, transcription, retextualization and notetaking as commentaries and analysis.School note-taking is defended in this thesis as a discourse genre, from the indications of studies on genres based on Bakhtin's reflection, which expresses itself compositionally, since the diverse forms of reading traits until the attempt of systematization and organization of academic knowledge. The understanding of the ways in which the appropriation of note-taking occurs as a discourse genre, coming from elementary school to post-graduation studies, provides contributions not only for the constitution of a discourse genre, but it also shows how the students attribute a personal style to this genre throughout their schooling years, offering clues for the implementation of changes regarding teachers education and its relationship with the mother tongue learning and teaching process / Doutorado / Analise do Discurso / Doutor em Linguística

The subject of this Master's thesis is introducing Chinese interpreting theory with regard to its historical and cultural background, including a description of the Chinese interpreting scene and education of interpreters. Chinese translation theory is also explained briefly in order to serve as a reference to Chinese considerations on interpreting. The thesis introduces the most influential Chinese researchers in this area and strives to provide a general overview as well as show concrete examples and extracts from Chinese theoretical publications with special attention paid to specific features of Chinese interpreting theory.

This study investigated the effects of trust level and note-taking upon the level of self-disclosure among prisoners. Sixty inmates at a federal prison were administered the Rotter Interpersonal Trust Scale. Next, using a median split, participants were divided into two groups of high and low mistrust. Subjects within each of these groups were then randomly assigned to a high, low, or no note-taking condition. Each prisoner then discussed an intimate topic for thirty minutes. Level of self-disclosure was measured by an abbreviated version of the Rotter Incomplete Sentences Blank. No significant differences were found as a function of trust level or note-taking condition. Some implications for further research are suggested.

Contrary to interviewing guidelines, a considerable portion of witness interviews are not recorded. Investigators’ memory, their interview notes, and any subsequent interview reports therefore become important pieces of evidence; the accuracy of interviewers’ memory or such reports is therefore of crucial importance when interviewers testify in court regarding witness interviews. A detailed recollection of the actual exchange during such interviews and how information was elicited from the witness will allow for a better assessment of statement veracity in court. Two studies were designed to examine interviewers’ memory for a prior witness interview. Study One varied interviewer note-taking and type of subsequent interview report written by interviewers by including a sample of undergraduates and implementing a two-week delay between interview and recall. Study Two varied levels of interviewing experience in addition to report type and note-taking by comparing experienced police interviewers to a student sample. Participants interviewed a mock witness about a crime, while taking notes or not, and wrote an interview report two weeks later (Study One) or immediately after (Study Two). Interview reports were written either in a summarized format, which asked interviewers for a summary of everything that occurred during the interview, or verbatim format, which asked interviewers to record in transcript format the questions they asked and the witness’s responses. Interviews were videotaped and transcribed. Transcriptions were compared to interview reports to score for accuracy and omission of interview content. Results from both studies indicate that much interview information is lost between interview and report especially after a two-week delay. The majority of information reported by interviewers is accurate, although even interviewers who recalled information immediately after still reported a troubling amount of inaccurate information. Note-taking was found to increase accuracy and completeness of interviewer reports especially after a two week delay. Report type only influenced recall of interviewer questions. Experienced police interviewers were not any better at recalling a prior witness interview than student interviewers. Results emphasize the need to record witness interviews to allow for more accurate and complete interview reconstruction by interviewers, even if interview notes are available.

Testing is the most common way to assess student learning at all ages and grade levels. Testing is traditionally viewed as a measure of knowledge, and not as a way to enhance learning. Nonetheless, a large body of literature demonstrates that testing is actually an effective way to facilitate learning and enhance long-term memory for information. This finding, that retrieval of information from memory leads to better retention than re-studying or re-reading the same information, has been termed the testing effect. The benefit of testing compared to review of material is typically seen after a delay between practice and final test, with review being a better strategy when the test is given immediately or after a short delay. This phenomenon has been shown across a variety of contexts, test formats, retention intervals, and ranges of ages and abilities. However, one domain in which the testing effect has not been shown to work is in the review of student-produced lecture notes. Lecture note-taking is a ubiquitous learning strategy and notes have been shown to be highly correlated with academic outcomes such as test performance and GPA. Note-taking in itself is a cognitively demanding process, and students often struggle to take accurate and complete notes from lecture, thus limiting the benefits of note-taking and review. There is limited research on ways to improve the review function of notes. Thus, this dissertation sought to understand the effect of integrating the testing effect into the context of lecture note-taking on memory for information compared to review of notes and a lecture-only control. A sample of 59 high school students watched a video lecture and took notes on the information. The lecture was divided into three sections with two-minute pauses in between each segment. During each pause, students were asked to either reread their notes from the previous section (review group), recall and write down what they remembered to be the most important ideas from the lecture they were just shown (self-testing group), or complete a distractor word search puzzle for the duration of the pause (lecture-only control group). Participants were given a written recall test of lecture information following a one-day delay. Comparisons were made between lecture groups on test performance and note quantity. Measures of sustained attention and mind-wandering during lecture were examined as covariates. While participants in the self-testing group scored higher on the written recall test, this difference did not reach statistical significance. Self-testing and reviewing notes during lecture pauses were both significantly better than lecture note-taking alone. Results also showed that it was actually the students in the review group who took significantly more notes than those in the lecture-only control. There was a main effect for time, indicating that students in all lecture groups took increasingly more notes as the lecture progressed. Note quantity was found to be a significant predictor of test performance. Examination of attentional variables showed that students who reported lower instances of mind-wandering took significantly more notes and did significantly better on the recall test. Further, students in the self-testing group reported less of an increase in mind-wandering as the lecture progressed compared to those in the control group. Differences between the results of this study and other studies in the testing effect literature are hypothesized to be due several factors, including complexity of lecture information, encoding difficulties, and the presentation of new information at each self-testing time point. Future research should continue to explore the testing effect in conjunction with note taking.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a combined narrative and expository language intervention on third graders' oral language. The participants included 96 third-grade students from two schools in the Mountain West region of the United States. In a quasi-experimental design, all third-grade students in one school (n = 46) were assigned to a treatment condition and all third-grade students in another school in the same school district (n = 50) were assigned to a control condition. Both treatment and control groups received large group oral narrative language intervention led by classroom teachers. The treatment group received additional large group expository language intervention led by the investigators. At posttest, students' narrative retells were analyzed for story grammar and language complexity. Primary and generalized expository outcomes were also analyzed for text structure and language complexity at posttest. Performances of the treatment and control groups were compared using ANCOVA across all measures. The results indicated that the control group and the treatment group did not have statistically significantly different narrative outcomes. However, the treatment group did make statistically significant improvements in expository text structure and some features of expository language complexity across both the primary and generalized expository measures when compared to the control group. This early efficacy study demonstrated the effects of a combined narrative and expository language intervention on expository language of third-grade students over and above narrative language intervention alone. It is possible that a dual focus on narrative and expository oral language instruction will not only impact students' oral language, but also reading comprehension and writing. Future research with a stronger experimental design should investigate the effect of narrative and expository oral language instruction on such distal outcomes.

Thesis (M. A. (English Studies)) --University of Limpopo, 2020 / Conventional laboratory report writing skills present an enormous challenge to first entering science students including the Bachelor of Science (BSc) students at Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University (SMHSU). First entering students are expected to meet essential tertiary discourse requirements and standards consistent with their scientific community. The purpose of this study was to explore how content lecturers in cognate departments assess laboratory report writing skills of first entering BSc students. The research design was exploratory and a mixed approach was used. Students sat for a criterion-referenced test and interviews were conducted with content lecturers to collect data; quantitative basic statistical interrogation of the basic data points and post interview analysis were performed. Some of the key findings of this exploration was that most first entering BSc students are in a dire situation regarding the laboratory report writing genre; they are unable to communicate comprehensive and intelligible information in the written laboratory reports. Thus, content lecturers and English language lecturers from the Department of Language Proficiency (DLP) need to strategically collaborate in order to improve the performance of first entering BSc students.

This case study looks at upper-secondary school students’ opinions about the use of digital and non-digital tools in the classroom. One of schools’ most important aims is to prepare students for a well-adapted citizenship. In a world of digitalisation, schools are also implementing more and more digital tools in teaching situations and many students in Sweden have access to a computer each at school. This paper investigates how students feel about note-taking using paper and pen or computer, what they feel is important for their futures and what preferences they have when it comes to the use of digital media in their lessons. A focus group interview (n=7) was carried out. From the themes found through the interview, a questionnaire was constructed and answered by 66 students. The results show that students are divided in their preferences for taking notes by hand or by computer. Students see the benefits and limitations of both methods. They generally find it easier and faster to type on the computer, but are concerned about the distractions that the computer offers. They feel that hand-writing is more time-consuming but that it is better for remembering the material. Overall, they find that hand-writing is better for learning (better now) but that being dexterous using the computer is important for their future (better in the future). It is important that teachers foster both skills so that students get a balanced education.

How people create and use information scraps, the small informal messages that people write to themselves to help them complete a task or remember something, has changed rapidly in the age of mobile computing. As recently as 2008, information scraps had continued to resist technological support. Since then, however, people have adopted mobile connected devices at a rate unimagined in the pre-smartphone era. Developers have, in turn, created a varied and growing body of smartphone software that supports many common information scrap use-cases. In this thesis, we describe our research into how and why people have adopted smartphone technology to serve their information scrap needs. The results of our survey show broad adoption of smartphones for many common information scrap tasks, particularly ones involving prospective memory. In addition, the results of our diary studies show that mobile contexts or locations are highly correlated with people's choosing to use smartphones to record information scraps. Our analysis of our diary study data also provides fresh understanding of the information scrap lifecycle and how mobile digital technology affects it. We find people's smartphone information scraps tend toward automatic archival, and we find their information scraps in general tend toward substantial role overlap regardless of medium. We use these findings to formulate a new information scrap lifecycle that is inclusive of mobile technology. These insights will help mobile technology creators to better support information scraps, which, in turn will allow users to enjoy the huge benefits of digital technology in their information scrap tasks. / Master of Science

In der Dolmetschwissenschaft wird die Stenografie größtenteils mit Skepsis betrachtet. Während es einzelne Stimmen gibt, die einen möglichen Nutzen derselben beim Notationsvorgang des Konsekutivdolmetschens sehen, wird das Stenografieren in diesem Rahmen insgesamt kritisch gesehen. Weit verbreitet ist die Ansicht, dass eine Kurzschrift lediglich beim Erstellen von Wortprotokollen eingesetzt werden sollte. Diese Arbeit geht der Frage auf den Grund, inwiefern die Stenografie, konkret die Deutsche Einheitskurzschrift (DEK), dennoch beim Notationsvorgang des konsekutiven Dolmetschens hilfreich sein kann. Als Grundlage hierfür dient die Analyse der Verdolmetschungen einer Reihe kurzer Reden, die über den Zeitraum von etwa einem Jahr im Selbstversuch unter ausschließlicher oder anteiliger Verwendung der DEK-Vorstufe Notizschrift und der Verkehrsschrift konsekutiv verdolmetscht wurden. Die Schwierigkeit der Reden wurde dabei schrittweise gesteigert. Der Fokus der Analyse liegt auf dem Sprachenpaar Englisch-Deutsch, wobei auch Besonderheiten für Spanisch-Deutsch aufgezeigt werden. Betrachtet werden hierbei sowohl die Notizen selbst als auch die Dolmetschleistung. Die Originalreden können über das Speech Repository der Europäischen Kommission aufgerufen werden. Es konnte abgeleitet werden, dass die Stenografie eine wertvolle Ergänzung für die Notation sein kann, wenn sie in Kombination mit anderen bekannten Notizentechniken angewendet wird. Eine frühzeitige Vermittlung der DEK in der Laufbahn von Dolmetscher:innen ist dabei als sinnvoll anzusehen, damit diese früh in ein individuell zu entwickelndes System eingebunden werden kann.:Inhaltsverzeichnis 1 Einleitung 1 2 Kurzüberblick Konferenzdolmetschen 3 2.1 Einführung in das Konsekutivdolmetschen 5 2.2 Einsatzbereiche beim Konsekutivdolmetschen 7 3 Einführung in die Stenografie 9 3.1 Was ist und woher kommt Stenografie? 9 3.1.1 Anfänge 10 3.1.2 Entwicklung stenografischer Systeme in Europa 11 3.1.2.1 England 12 3.1.2.2 Romanischer Sprachraum 13 3.1.2.3 Deutschland 15 3.1.3 Die Deutsche Einheitskurzschrift (DEK) 18 3.1.4 Stenografie heute 19 3.2 Grundlagen der DEK 21 3.2.1 Stufe 1 – Notizschrift 24 3.2.2 Stufe 2 – Verkehrsschrift 25 3.2.3 Stufe 3 – Eilschrift 27 3.2.4 Stufe 4 – Redeschrift 29 3.2.5 Zusammenhänge 31 4 Übersicht zur Notation 32 4.1 Grundlagen der Notizentechnik 33 4.2 Gedächtnis und Notation 35 4.3 Notationssystem nach Gillies 38 4.4 Notationssystem nach Matyssek 41 4.5 Mögliche Anwendung der Stenografie 44 5 Stenografie im Selbstversuch 46 5.1 Versuchsaufbau 46 5.1.1 Zeitlicher Rahmen 48 5.1.2 Sprachrichtungen 49 5.1.3 Verwendetes Stenografiesystem 49 5.2 Auswertung 50 5.2.1 Kriterien für die Auswertung 51 5.2.2 Auswertung Sprachenpaar Englisch, Deutsch 52 5.2.2.1 Deutsch-Englisch 52 5.2.2.2 Englisch-Deutsch 77 5.2.3 Ergänzungen Sprachenpaar Spanisch, Deutsch 94 5.2.3.1 Deutsch-Spanisch 94 5.2.3.2 Spanisch-Deutsch 104 5.3 Bedeutung für Notation und Lehre 111 5.3.1 Stenografie als Alternative zur klassischen Notizentechnik 111 5.3.2 Stenografie als Ergänzungsmöglichkeit bei der Notation 112 5.3.3 Stenografieunterricht für Dolmetschstudierende 113 6.

While some researchers do see a possible benefit in shorthand when applied in consecutive interpreting, the vast majority is not recommending its use. The opinion that shorthand should only be used when preparing verbatim minutes is widely spread. This paper investigates to what extent shorthand, more precisely, the DEK (German Unified Shorthand), could still be of use in consecutive note-taking and thus, interpreting. The underlying analysis is based on several short speeches that were interpreted consecutively by the author over a period of approximately a year, while exclusively or partly using shorthand for note-taking. The analysis is mainly based on the so-called note-taking style (Notizschrift) which is a preliminary stage of the first official level of shorthand: correspondence style (Verkehrsschrift). The level of difficulty of the speeches was gradually increased over time. The focus is on the English-German language pair, although there are some particularities mentioned for Spanish-German as well. The notes themselves and the respective interpreting results form the basis of the analysis. The original speeches can be found in the Speech Repository of the European Commission. It was found that shorthand can indeed be a valuable complement to other note-taking techniques when used together with them. Therefore, it should be taught relatively early during an interpreter’s career to avoid having to later fit it in with an already existing system that each interpreter develops individually.:Inhaltsverzeichnis 1 Einleitung 1 2 Kurzüberblick Konferenzdolmetschen 3 2.1 Einführung in das Konsekutivdolmetschen 5 2.2 Einsatzbereiche beim Konsekutivdolmetschen 7 3 Einführung in die Stenografie 9 3.1 Was ist und woher kommt Stenografie? 9 3.1.1 Anfänge 10 3.1.2 Entwicklung stenografischer Systeme in Europa 11 3.1.2.1 England 12 3.1.2.2 Romanischer Sprachraum 13 3.1.2.3 Deutschland 15 3.1.3 Die Deutsche Einheitskurzschrift (DEK) 18 3.1.4 Stenografie heute 19 3.2 Grundlagen der DEK 21 3.2.1 Stufe 1 – Notizschrift 24 3.2.2 Stufe 2 – Verkehrsschrift 25 3.2.3 Stufe 3 – Eilschrift 27 3.2.4 Stufe 4 – Redeschrift 29 3.2.5 Zusammenhänge 31 4 Übersicht zur Notation 32 4.1 Grundlagen der Notizentechnik 33 4.2 Gedächtnis und Notation 35 4.3 Notationssystem nach Gillies 38 4.4 Notationssystem nach Matyssek 41 4.5 Mögliche Anwendung der Stenografie 44 5 Stenografie im Selbstversuch 46 5.1 Versuchsaufbau 46 5.1.1 Zeitlicher Rahmen 48 5.1.2 Sprachrichtungen 49 5.1.3 Verwendetes Stenografiesystem 49 5.2 Auswertung 50 5.2.1 Kriterien für die Auswertung 51 5.2.2 Auswertung Sprachenpaar Englisch, Deutsch 52 5.2.2.1 Deutsch-Englisch 52 5.2.2.2 Englisch-Deutsch 77 5.2.3 Ergänzungen Sprachenpaar Spanisch, Deutsch 94 5.2.3.1 Deutsch-Spanisch 94 5.2.3.2 Spanisch-Deutsch 104 5.3 Bedeutung für Notation und Lehre 111 5.3.1 Stenografie als Alternative zur klassischen Notizentechnik 111 5.3.2 Stenografie als Ergänzungsmöglichkeit bei der Notation 112 5.3.3 Stenografieunterricht für Dolmetschstudierende 113 6.
