“…In the school setting there have been studies which have focused on improving children's listening and social skills [35][36][37][38], since educators have been complaining about their students' inability to listen carefully and pay attention. However, adults' listening skills are often also insufficient and teachers may have higher expectations from children than they do from themselves.…”

Abstract:The present study examined the Active Listening Attitude Scale (ALAS) validity and reliability in a sample of 3955 Greek educators. The sample was randomly split and an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted in the even subsample to evaluate the scale's construct validity. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed in the odd subsample to confirm the three-factor model identified by the EFA. The chi square test (χ 2 ) of the model was significant (p < 0.05), due to the large sample size. The root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA), the comparative fit index (CFI) and the goodness of fit index (GFI) values were 0.079, 0.969 and 0.960, respectively, further supporting the fit of the three-factor model. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to test internal consistency reliability and was satisfactory exceeding 0.72 for ALAS subscales. The intercorrelations of the three subscales were all positive and significant (p < 0.001), ranging from 0.20 to 0.42. Student's t-tests and the computation of effect sizes revealed that women scored higher on Listening Skill and Conversation Opportunity, while principals and participants trained on mental health promotion scored higher on all three subscales. The analyses confirmed the three-factor model of ALAS and demonstrated its validity and reliability in measuring Greek teachers' active listening attitudes.

“…As a result, there have been studies which have focused on the development of scales assessing active listening mainly in management (e.g., Mishima et al 2000) and medical services (e.g., Fassaert et al 2007) contexts. Regarding the educational field, there have been studies which have focused on investigating students' listening skills (Fedesco 2015;Jalongo 1995Jalongo , 2010 given the fact that listening and paying attention are required from their part for the learning process. Teachers' active listening skills have also been researched, mainly regarding their communication with students (Rost 2013;Schultz 2003) and parents (McNaughton et al 2008;Lasky 2000).…”

Abstract:The presented study examined the Active Empathic Listening Scale's (AELS) validity and reliability in a sample of 3955 Greek educators of all teaching levels and specialties. The sample was randomly split and an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted in the even subsample to evaluate the scale's construct validity. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed in the odd subsample to confirm the three-factor model identified by the EFA. The chi square test (χ 2 ) of the model was significant (p < 0.05), due to the large sample size. The root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA), the comparative fit index (CFI), and the goodness of fit index (GFI) values were 0.080, 0.971, and 0.962, respectively, further supporting the fit of the three-factor model. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to test internal consistency reliability and was satisfactory exceeding 0.76 for AELS' subscales. The intercorrelations of the three subscales were all positive and significant (p < 0.001), ranging from 0.46 to 0.54. Student's t-tests and the computation of effect sizes showed that women, principals, and those who had received training in mental health promotion scored higher on all three subscales. Age and years of teaching experience were also positively correlated with most of the AELS' subscales, but the correlations were very low. The analyses confirmed the three-factor model of AELS and demonstrated its validity and reliability in measuring Greek teachers' active listening attitudes.

“…Dinleme sürecinde program önemli bir değişken olup, kaliteli bir program çocukların dinleme becerilerine yönelik deneyimlerine katkı sağlayabilecektir (Jalongo, 2010). Bu sebeple, plânlanacak aktivitelerin çocukların dinleme deneyimlerine ilişkin olması ve çocukların repertuarlarını genişletmesi amaçlanmalıdır (Jones, 2007).…”
