Use the five steps of the listening process to describe how you listen to a lecture.
What will be an ideal response?
- Answers may differ, but they should all employ the five steps of the listening process to explain what happens as students listen to a lecture. Student examples will vary.
* The first step in the listening process is selecting. I must choose one sound while sorting through various sounds competing for my attention.
# As I listen to a class lecture, I must select among the sounds, words, and nonverbal behaviors that will receive my attention.
* The next step in the listening process is attending to a sound.
# Since I know the material the professor is addressing is something I need to know for the exam, if for no other reason, I attend to what the teacher is saying and block out competing or distracting sounds from elsewhere.
# If the teacher speaks well, he or she will help me to listen by using humor or connecting ideas to concrete or real things.
* Understanding is the process of assigning meaning to the sounds you select and to which you attend; to understand a message is to construct meaning from what you hear and see.
# One basic principle is that as I listen, I will seek to understand what the professor is saying by trying to relate what I hear to what I already know.
# A second basic principle about how people understand is that the greater individuals are alike, the greater the likelihood of more accurate understanding.
* Remembering is the process of recalling information.
# By connecting the ideas and concepts discussed by the teacher, I will try to remember the information by pushing it into long-term memory, but it is likely I will lose most of it in short-term memory. That's one reason I take notes, so I can review the material again later.
* The last step in the listening process is responding-the process of confirming your understanding of a message.
# Responses can be nonverbal, for example, using direct eye contact or head nods.
# They can also be verbal, such as asking questions to confirm the content of the message, or making statements that reflect the feelings of the speaker.
