Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] Information search is not only a process of information acquisition, but also a process of users’ self-learning. In the context of learning-related search, this paper explores the influence of the note-taking behavior on learning outcome in the process of searching, the characteristics of users’ note-taking behavior and the influence of the search context on note-taking behavior. [Method/Process] This paper collected data by the experiment method, analyzed the characteristics of note-taking by coding analysis, descriptive statistics and cluster analysis, and analyzed the association of note-taking with search context and learning outcome by difference test. [Result/Conclusion] This paper found three types of note-taking patterns: "rough collection-linear structure", "fine collection-linear structure" and "free structure". Users with more prior knowledge tend to adopt the pattern of "rough collection, linear structure", which may lead to poorer learning efficiency. The results are helpful to enrich the limited exploration of information use behavior in relevant researches on "search as learning" and inspire various information search systems to design and optimize functions from the perspective of supporting users' self-learning.
