 Analytical Listening in Problem Solving

BEGIN

As a Grade 10 learner, you must be

equipped with appropriate skills in listening.
Listening is the key to an effective
communication. It is primarily achieved when
the person has the ability to receive, process,
and interpret information.
Listening is a familiar activity of our
everyday experiences. In fact, most of us spend
most of our time in listening may it be natural,
technical or digital. We tend to receive various
languages and other stimuli. However, if we are
not trained or used to listen proficiently,
misunderstanding may occur. There are several
types of listening depending on how you put
attention to what is being heard.
This module presents one of the Most
Essential Learning Competencies in the
domains of Listening Comprehension. This
module is designed to cater the academic needs
of the Grade 10 students and provide activities
to facilitate the mastery of the focused skill.

TARGET

At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:

1. recall types of listening;
2. distinguish analytical listening;
3. identify a problem in a scenario;
4. formulate the best solution by analyzing a problem; and
5. employ critical or analytical thinking skill in problem solving

 Types of Listening
Marginal/passive listening. This also called hearing. The listener hears the sounds,
often in the background but simply ignores them because he or she is engrossed in
another task.
Attentive listening. The listener focuses attention and shows interest in what is
being said. He or she takes note of the specifics and how they relate to the main
points made by the speaker.
Analytical/Critical listening. In this type of listening, one has to decide on the truth
of ideas, pass judgment on claims made, and make decisions on whether to accept
what she or he hears, reject it or take it.
Appreciative listening. This type of listening gives the listener pleasure maybe from
the humor or the blending of voices in choric arrangements. 1

What is analytical listening?

Analytical listening is one of the types of listening that refers to the ability and
the capacity to analyze properly what is being heard. This does not only mean
understanding what the other person is saying and what they mean to say, but also
being able to divide difficult questions into separate parts in order to get to the core.
Analytical Listening sounds easier than it is. Distinguishing between central and
peripheral issues is a prerequisite. The objective of Analytical Listening is to quickly
see logical connections, as well as detecting possible gaps in all the information.2

Analytical Listening and Problem Solving

Analytical listening helps bring balance to a conversation and process
information objectively. In conversation with others, feeling plays an important role.
When the atmosphere of the conversation is good, chances are objectivity will
disappear into the background. Being mindful of this allows for a balance to be
created between feeling and logical reasoning. Analyses of causes can be made,
after which the consequences of a problem can be better detected as well.
An analytical listener is able to critically look at elements of a problem and
apply models to them. By distinguishing main problems from partial problems, the
analytic listener can collect a lot of information, then research it. After collecting all of

SUM UP

You are almost done with this

module. You have employed analytical
listening in problem solving. Now, let’s
recap important things you have learned.

In problem solving, one must first dig up the root or the cause of it. Upon the
receiving the information, he or she needs to understand its whole meaning and
implications. It is a must for him or her to analyze and evaluate data, isolate possible
contributing circumstances, and figure out what needs to be addressed for a
resolution.
In analytical or critical listening, one has to decide on the truth of ideas, pass
judgment on claims made and make decisions on whether to accept what she or he
hears, reject it or take it.
