Abstract | This research report demonstrates strategies aimed to improve active listening skills in students, which proposed to increase students' academic achievement. The targeted population being studied consisted of first and third grade students from growing low to middle income communities located in a major metropolitan area in central Illinois. Data gathered from surveys and observation checklists demonstrated a lack of active listening skills in students. An analysis of probable cause data revealed that students lacked active listening skills and techniques. Faculty concurred, with data indicating, the need for active listening instruction. Review of curriculum revealed a lack, or absence, of active listening objectives, lesson designs, and activities. Furthermore, review of the curriculum indicated the lack of concern for listening to be taught as a skill. A review of solution strategies suggested by those in the field of psychology and education, coupled by the data collected in the first and third grade classroom settings, resulted in the implementation of the designed curriculum including activities in which learned listening techniques were utilized. Post intervention data indicated an increase in students' understanding and use of active listening skills. In addition, the possibility of the existence of types of listeners arose. This possibility was supported by comments, attitudes, and preferences of students during the intervention process. Contains 16 references, 28 figures and 4 tables of data. Appendixes contain surveys and survey results for parents, teachers, and students; lesson plans and worksheets; and student drawings. (Author/SR) |
