Abstract/Summary

This study determines the listening abilities of selected students majoring in guidance and counseling or Psychology and identifies the factors that influence listening. The study employs the descriptive research design. There were 107 students from 5 universities who were the subjects of this study. They were asked to take the Brown-Carlson Listening Comprehension Test and their scores were correlated with their ages, years of counseling experience and grades in Counseling Techniques. A profile of the respondents in terms of listening comprehension test scores, ages and grades in Counseling Techniques was made. The study concluded that since no significant relationship had been found between listening comprehension test results and ages, age should not be considered a factor in the selection of applicants. Furthermore, age does not affect one's listening comprehension. Therefore, age should not be a determinant of one's ability to do counseling. The result shows that there was no significant relationship between listening and years of counseling experience. Therefore, it concluded that like age, the years of counseling experience did not in any way affect one's listening comprehension. There was a significant relationship found between listening comprehension test results and grades in Counseling Techniques. It could be that one's grade in Counseling Techniques depends upon the extent he listens. The study therefore stated that those who excel in Counseling Techniques were also more skilled in listening. Since there is no significant difference found between those who had taken Counseling Techniques and those who had not, it could be that the Counseling Techniques did not increase the listening comprehension of the counselors-in-training. It could have been that one's capacity to listen would depend on the individual's listening comprehension. Since the listening test was found discriminatingly valid and reliable, it could furnish an accurate rating of every one's listening comprehension.
