In the present study, attempt has been made to investigate the effect of note-taking strategy instruction individually and its interaction with gender on the students’ academic achievement. To double check the hypotheses, a true experimental method and a survey were employed. The experimental-side data were fed into SPSS and analyzed using ANCOVA. The results revealed that note-taking strategy instruction, but not its interaction with gender, had significant effects on the student achievement. Using t-test, the survey data results indicated that Iranian professors and students had high positive attitudes toward the benefits of note-taking; also, mean differences between male and female respondents were not significant. The findings both theoretically and practically provide hints for teachers, students and future researchers.
