ABSTRACT: The objective of
this study is to determine the learning and compensatory strategies the College
of Industrial Technology (CIT) students use to enhance their listening skills
and the various strategies that these learners use to compensate their limited
skills and abilities. Findings reveal that the student-respondents exhibited
the (10) learning and compensatory strategies of study, concentration, memory,
learning from textbooks, learning from lectures, essays and assignments, exams,
organization and time management, self-advocacy skills and disability specific
strategies to a moderate degree. In addition, majority of the
student-respondents were only able to obtain low scores in their listening
tests. Regarding the correlations, it was found that out of the 10 compensatory
learning strategies, four were found to have correlation with listening
abilities. Study strategies and learning from lectures were found to have high
significant correlation with listening abilities while memory as well as
organization and time management had significant relationship with listening
abilities. All in all, these findings lead to the decision to reject the
hypothesis of the study that states that there is no significant relationship between
student-respondents’ compensatory learning strategies and their listening
abilities.
