What is it?
• It simply means focusing on what is significant on the information you have listened to. You decide, from
among everything that you are listening to, what is most important to attend to and remember.
• It is one of the comprehension strategies that you could use to differentiate between what information you
are listening to is most important versus what information is interesting but not necessary for
understanding.
➢
Important information refers to main ideas or key topics that you need to better understand the concept
you are listening to while interesting information is little detail or additional detail, which could be a cool
fact, distractor, or less important concept, that is present in the article (Allen & Reason, 2015).
This means that it helps you filter information and organize your thinking around big ideas. Filtering means
selecting only the information necessary to better understand the selection that you are listening to
("Introduction," 2020).
How to determine the worth of ideas?
In order to determine the
worth of ideas, you need to make
decisions as to what parts of a text
deserve the most attention. Not
everything presented by an author is of
equal importance (Draper, 2011).
Determining worth of ideas includes:
• Identifying your purpose for
listening
• Distinguishing between
important and unimportant information
to identify key ideas or themes
