Summary:Explores the effect of note-taking instruction on ninth graders' comprehension of high- and low-interest passages on teacher-made, objective tests. Finds a statistically significant interaction between note-taking training and passage type that suggests the training was more effective for the low-interest than the high-interest passage. Concludes that there was no statistically significant interaction between ability level and passage type. (SC)
