Robinson, “ Active learning is ‘doing’ and this leads to understanding.” Learning by doing is a theme that many educators have stressed since John Dewey’s convincing argument that “children must be engaged in an active quest for learning and new ideas”.

It was important that the listener made the speaker feel comfortable with what they were saying and that active feedback was provided to the speaker.

In applying the skills to a case scenario, I found it difficult to focus and use my active listening skills. I do know that in an ideal situation, I will more than likely be one on one with my client and will generally conduct the interview in a quieter atmosphere, allowing me to focus better on what the client discloses. However, with continuous practice I believe I will be able to overcome becoming distracted by background noises. What skills do you feel you performed well? Overall I feel I preformed
Listening is a skill that requires active, rather than passive, participation to advance shared understanding and minimise misinterpretation. Lang, Floyd and Beine (2000) describe active listening as a skill that ‘focuses on attending to patients’ clues, ie, utterances and/or behaviors that are not explicit but may have special meaning and suggest unshared ideas, concerns, and expectations’.

Active Euthenasia – From A Kantian Perspective Euthanasia is one of society's more widely debated moral issues of our time. Active euthanasia is; "Doing something, such as administering a lethal drug, or using other ways that will cause a person's death."

It seems that this one is not to debate, as much as the other one (active)
This project offered me a unique experience in the application of my prior active listening skills. While recording for the three scenarios, I noticed that my internal monologue served as the biggest barrier, whether my role being an observer, sender, or receiver in the model. Frequently, such monologue is merely my presumption of others’ response in the conversation. For example, when John expressed his indifference in the discussion topic through body language in the first scenario, my internal
