PROBLEM SOLVING THROUGH ANALYTICAL

Lesson
LISTENING

Listening is more than just hearing.

Did you know that the fastest means of communication is listening? It
is a very familiar part of our everyday experiences. Most people spend much
of their time in listening with varied degrees of attention and analysis.
However, though listening plays a very salient role in our lives, there are
instances that we are not able to give importance to what we had listened to,
more so, how to process the gist of what we had listened. When people fail to
listen and analyze what they had listened to, miscommunication leads to
other serious problems.
To effectively function outside the classroom, learners should be taught
and their skills in listening should be flourished to address situations, issues
and problems around them.
You may now start your learning journey. Read on and do the activities
with excitement to find the answers for those questions.

 MAN WITH A DREAM
(Adapted from Speakeasy)

Martin Luther King Jr. wanted black and white Americans to live
happily together. On the third Monday in January, many Americans honour
this hero.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a black pastor. He was born in Atlanta,
Georgia, on January 15, 1929. He was the leader of the Civil Rights Movement
demanding equality for black people. Many Southern states in the USA, like
Georgia, were segregated in the 1950’s: black children couldn’t go to the same
schools as whites, Blacks and Whites couldn’t seat in the same bus, theatres
or use the same public toilets. King believed that was wrong.

Back of the Bus

In December 1955, Rosa Parks, a black woman, was on a bus in

Montgomery, Alabama. A white man asked for her seat and refused. She was
arrested. King who was working in Montgomery, led a black protest. For a
year, black people refused to use the buses. Finally, segregation on the buses
was declared illegal and sooner all segregation in Alabama was stopped.
Dr. King was now famous and he continued with many other protests.
He wanted black and white people to have the same rights. Some white people
supported him, but many opposed him. His house was bombed, but he
refused violence and in 1964 he received the Nobel Peace Prize.
King was an excellent orator; his speeches were famous and convinced
many people including President Kennedy, that he was right.
Unfortunately, he had many enemies and on April 4th 1968, he was
assassinated. His death provoked riots all-over America.

What is It
When you try to get the meaning of what you hear, you are listening. The
goal you want to achieve is to understand what others had said, what you
had heard and to apply what you have had.
Why Listen?
Here are three important reasons as to why people listen:
 To gain understanding of a problematic situation that needs
solving.
 To strike up a productive conversation
 To connect with one another.

Analytical listening is the type of listening where one has to decide on

the truth of ideas, pass judgment on claims, formulate solutions and make
decisions. It helps bring balance to a conversation and process information
objectively.

5
 An analytical listener is able to critically look at elements of a problem
and apply models to them. Analyses of causes can be made, after which the
consequences and of course the solutions to the problem can be identified or
formulated.

What I Have Learned

The primary goal of analytical listening is to fully understand the text, come up with
the message or thought and evaluate the meaning of the listened text. We listen to gather
information and tend to think carefully about what we hear.

How does analytical listening help in problem solving?

You can accurately receive and interpret messages.

You become aware of the verbal and non-verbal messages.
You are able to make logical connections, root out the cause and identify what best
solution fits the problem.
It enhances your comprehension about what you have listened and it also develops
your critical thinking.

 What I Can Do
Now that you know that employing analytical listening and thinking in
problem solving is a very important skill, it’s time for you to apply your skills
in solving problems. Use the S-O-D-A-S (Situation, Options, Disadvantages,
Advantages, Solution) strategy.
Analyze the presented situations and work on your own to fill in the
table with your answer.

Your Barangay Captain announced through a public meeting that the

Municipal Council had finally decided to construct a concrete bridge near
your residence. It will mean work for men from your community. Small
business ventures will most likely to open.
But Mr. Carlos, a retired school teacher opposes the project. The
construction of the bridge will mean the community will have to let go of a
century old tree, standing right in the site, older than the establishment of
your Barangay. According to him, the people will lose their ancestral tree, in
the name of development.
As a student, how are you going to process the situation?
