Outlining and Summarizing involves identifying the main ideas and rendering them in one’s own words. Concept Mapping is also similar. Both strategies have the potential accelerate academic growth in one year by 1.5 years.

Meaningful learning “results when a person consciously and explicitly ties new knowledge to relevant concepts they already possess”
(Stoica, Moraru, and Miron, 2010, p. 568 as cited).

Vocabulary Programs (d=0.62). This includes programs to build vocabulary, including subject matter vocabulary. It also includes making semantic maps to find connections to other words. This last item, making word connections via concept sorts and the Frayer Model, is most relevant. Learn more.
Note-Taking (d=0.33). This involves students making notes in a systematic manner. Note-taking increases engagement, generative learning, and greater self-efficacy. Learn more.

Outlining and Summarizing (d=0.62). Involves identifying the main ideas and rendering them in one’s own words. The core skill is being able to differentiate between main and supporting ideas.
Concept Mapping (d=0.62). The creation of graphic, hierarchical representations of course content. When students arrange new information, connecting it to what they know, they learn best.

That is, semantic processing occurs when you encode the meaning of a word, then relate it to words with a similar meaning.

Semantic maps offer a visual way of viewing “meaning-based connections between a word or phrase and a set of related words or concepts” (source: Reading Rockets).

I don’t understand guided notes. It’s like fill in the blank notes with the answers given. Are there some digital tools that can help me make guided notes? I teach emergent language learners.
