SELF ASSESSMENT ACTIVITY 3.3
A. Congruence Theory - Every day, my student, a Samoki local, shares anecdotes with me about their
way of life. As an illustration, nothing should fall during a "Mang-Mang" because otherwise bad things
will happen. Another is that when someone passes away, a native chicken is butchered, and if the
chicken's guts are poor, the family will have terrible luck. Being a Christian, I do not hold these beliefs.
Either I become an atheist and believe in these things, or I should share the gospel with my classmate in
order to bring everything back into alignment.

B. Cognitive Dissonance Theory - I've been a student for more than ten years, so I am familiar with the
challenges of trying to cram all of your subject material for an exam or quiz in one night. We realize that
using a "kodigo" to cheat is unethical, yet me and my classmates have tried it. And I start to feel guilty
when our scores end up being higher than those of those who did not cheat. Perhaps the psychological
tension indicated in the module is what the guilt is. Then, in order to ease this tension, I assist my
classmates in some of my strongest areas.

C. Belief-Hierarchy Theory - A male student thinks that women naturally speak more than men do. The
student feels that his aptitude for studying the English language isn't very good. He makes no attempt to
study the language. He lacks any confidence in his ability to speak English. When he believes that nobody
should ever make a mistake or that everybody should be able to acquire a language instantly, he becomes
nervous. He employs inefficient language learning techniques as a result of this thinking.

SELF ASSESSMENT ACTIVITY 3.4
1. Empathetic Listening - Empathic listening is the skill of paying close attention to and responding to
other people's opinions when they are speaking. Making an emotional connection with the other person
while you listen empathically entails identifying parallels between their experience and your own so you
can respond with greater sincerity.

2. Full Listening - Full listening entails giving full attention to what is being said by the speaker. Active
listening strategies are frequently used, such as paraphrasing what has been said to the person you are
conversing with to make sure you comprehend their meaning.

3. Inactive Listening - Seeming to listen while truly giving thought to more things. It makes it more
difficult to relate to the speaker because it suggests that the listener probably doesn't understand (or care
about) what they're saying.
4. Relationship Listening - When we listen to a message, those with relational listening styles prefer to
focus on what it informs them about their conversational partners and their sentiments. This kind of
listening is what we do when we're attempting to support someone else or keep a connection going.

As a student in MPSPC, full listening is required. Active listening encourages conscious thinking, which
might help pupils feel less depressed and anxious. Additionally, as they converse with one another,
students are more likely to be perceived as approachable and engaged by their classmates, which can aid
in the development of relationships. No matter how smart a student is, he or she will only benefit from
their education if they have improved their listening skills in the classroom. Teachers often deliver direct
teaching and then, as needed, offer clarification. Students who pay close attention to instructions and
lectures, as opposed to just hearing them, have clear advantages. Saving time while listening effectively
in class leads to enhanced social and academic abilities.

SELF ASSESSMENT ACTIVITY 3.5

Environmental Distractions are elements that shift a person's or a group's focus away from the selected
object of attention and toward the source of distraction. Furniture placement, external noise like traffic or
people chatting, physiological noise like a sinus headache or hunger, and psychological noise like stress
or rage are all examples of environmental and physical impediments to good listening. The noise of the
water delivery truck and the building sites keeps us from paying attention to our lecturers' lectures almost
every morning in our sessions.
