Abstract

This abstract is meant to gain an insight over the effects of such training upon those teachers undergoing it. The basic concept used in the study is the counseling and active listening theory of Bramer and the Experiential Learning. The subjects of counseling covers 11 teachers-in-charge (WK) that have never undergone such training. This study uses quasi experimental method with one subject group-by comparing the conditions before and after the training. The treatment given is an active listening training. The attitude measurements is taken using questionnaire-before and after the training. The data are processed using the structure test-non parametric Wilcoxon Pair Test. The outcome shows that there is some significantly positive difference in the attitudes of those teachers towards the activity of active listening-be they in the cognitive and affective, as well as in their conative components (taken a=5%). This is made possible due to the experiential learning which the subjects deep understand and feel happy about it and have the confidence to undergo the training. To sum up: the active listening training affects the attitudes positively over the activity of those teachers in the subject matter, and after undergoing such training the participants become more confident of their ability to do an active listening. The theoretical suggestions would be that the measurement should be done in a time series manner towards the changes in attitudes and the ability to do an active listening. In addition, it would be worth while to set up counseling process module training. Whereas the practical suggestions would be to provide an active listening training to the permanent teaching staff and to make use of the active listening training module as the alternative module to develop the ability of the school helper.
