Student Listening Analysis

My listening skills could be improved. I am sometimes too keen to ask questions when a person has not finished speaking and my need to plan and “put things into neat boxes” can feel imposing on people with different learning styles and very creative personalities. I also have a tendency to write extensive notes in meetings and 1-2-1’s in order not to miss anything and to record peoples responses correctly – this can, however, come across as my being disengaged from the conversation and “not taking on board what is said”.

Electronic communication plays vast roles in the way individuals communicate in today’s society, this has created a significant change to the quality of interpersonal

I will not go through all of the individual listening skills, just a few that I find the most relevant to myself. The assessment showed that I got an 8 in avoiding interruption. I never interrupt anyone while they’re speaking. I always wait for them to finish before I speak out. I scored a 2 in maintaining interest. I find myself easily getting distracted if the speaker goes on for a long time, or starts speaking about something I’m not extremely interested in. My score in showing interest though was a 9. I try to at least make sure the speaker feels comfortable when they are speaking, and feel that they are being heard. My total for this assessment was 28 out of a possible 45 points, which shows that I have a lot to improve when it comes to my listening skills.

After completing the reading for the chapter on listening I found it interesting on how there are many aspects and different kinds of listening that I had not known of prior to reading the chapter. One part of the chapter that I found to be intriguing was the part on the different kinds of listening styles. When we listen to people speak we are able to use different styles depending on the conversation. For example, when we use relational listening we try to relate to how the others are feeling. Recently I have used relational listening in the wake of the MSD shooting. Being that my sister currently attends the school and I graduated from the school in 2014, I had spoken to many of my friends and current students that were affected by this

There is a transformation happening today that is completely changing the way that we do things. The ways that we are communicating are shifting from face to face interactions to short, interactive messages. Technology seems to be making it easier to stay connected, but it is restricting our interactions with others and leading to isolation.

Face-to-face communication seems to be a dying art – replaced by text messaging, e-mails, and social media. Human communication and interactions are shaped by available technologies.

Person to person communication is an instrument utilized by individuals all around the globe. Its motivation is to advance and help correspondence. Be that as it may, this sort of innovation may accomplish more damage than great. It is changing how we impart, as well as how we associate with each other in day by day life. Sarah Zay, of USA Today, expressed that "With the ascent of sites, for example, Facebook, long range informal communication might be very nearly swapping customary individual associations for the people to come" (1).Traditional cooperations will keep on being at hazard on the off chance that we don't understand the impacts of our online networking. Long range informal communication influences our lives from multiple points

Communication is essential in our society today. There are many different types and methods of communication that people use. Throughout life, people learn to use communication in order to interact in the everyday world. People form groups to place themselves where they think they belong in society. Whether people know they are doing it or not, they consciously or subconsciously place themselves into certain groups. There are many different reasons for people to join different groups, these being for learning, activity, personal growth, and problem solving. Members of groups must all contribute in order to complete a task. People can have both positive and negative effects on groups. There are many concepts that

In this unit I have learned that listening to others when they are speaking is very important, and that you need to listen to them when they talk. Also, when you listen to them, that means that they will want to listen to you.

A teaching assistant can encourage these skills by asking the child to repeat what has just

After taking the listening assessment I noticed that I ranked at a 39. Based on the scored it shows that I have listening skills that is promising, but I could use some improvements in my listening skills. I learned that one of my strength when it comes to listening is that I try to focus on what the other person is saying. Another strength that I saw was that I take notes when listening especially when I am in class. There is one negative in this strength is that I sometimes get bored of listening

I listen to music to escape from reality for some time. I need to do this because keeps me sane as I listen to music regardless of my mood. Typically I listen to Hip-hop/Rap and RnB. I like these genres because I believe they are versatile in a sense that they can convey a wide range of messages. Although I listen to those genres I am interested in old school rock .I am interested because at that time I believe that was the most genre. Additionally now the type of music isn’t made so it almost antique in a way which makes it more valuable. I chose this class because I don’t care much for art or theatre arts. I have listened to music is some way or form every day of my life. I believe music is a way to cope with life whether it is to help deal

Having the opportunity of taking a Counseling and interviewing class was really helpful since I realized the importance of listening to others. Even though I am not interested in being a counselor but rather an occupational therapist, after taking a Counseling and Interviewing class I realized that no matter how good you are at doing your job, if you cannot listen and reflect on others feelings, you are not doing it correctly. Listening to what the other person has to say helps to have an effective communication without misunderstandings. After working on the third taping assignment one of the things that I learned is that listening requires a lot of self- control because no matter how much we enjoy talking with people, it t requires a

I am glad that this class had taken part in the listening journal assignment as I was not sure what to expect. I was uncertain of my listening capabilities and have wondered what areas could use improvement. I do consider my interactions with people in hindsight, and I always hope that I did my best to listen and communicate with respect. I am fortunate to find out through the logs that I am above average while listening to others, in respect to the log analysis. I am further aware that this is because of a significant change in my life that took me from being self-focused to other-orientated. If this class had been over thirteen years before, my details on those logs would have been vastly altered.

Overall after completing the Listening Skills Self Assessment, I think that I am a pretty active listener. One of the strategies that I found out after taking the self-assessment, was that I stay open-minded when a speaker is speaking despite what he or she may say that to offend me or about a matter I do not agree upon. Also, I do not isolate the content of the message that is being presented, but I listen to every aspect and detail of what is being said. Two of my weaknesses, were that when the speaker is speaking in a way that is very complex I tend to loose focus. Along with that, when I lose focus and I will not to respond until I can make an assumption of what the information or context they are trying to present is about. In the textbook,
