Examining communication theories, principles, and models in education

This essay provides an analysis of communication theories, principles, and models in the context of education and training. It begins by outlining key principles of effective communication, such as clarity, correctness, and completeness. The essay then discusses the Shannon and Weaver model, detailing its components like sender, encoder, decoder, receiver, and the role of noise. It also explores Lasswell’s Theory of communication, which focuses on answering questions about who communicates what, in which channel, to whom, and with what effect. The application of these models in teaching is discussed, emphasizing the importance of communication skills for educators and the use of modern teaching methods like case studies and examples to enhance student understanding. The essay concludes by highlighting the use of resources and communication tools, including providing notes to students, to facilitate effective learning and knowledge retention.

2.1 Analysis of theories, principles and models of communication
• Principles
• Clarity: The sender of the information must use clear language and
message in clear for so that all the receivers are able to understand the same.
This helps them to communicate in effective manner and let the other
remember the information.
• Correctness: There is key role of communicating the correct information in
order to send the message in effective manner. The specific, clear and
definite message for better understanding.
• Completeness: It becomes essential to share the overall message with the
receiver so that they are able to understand the same and derive meaning.
The incomplete information gives rise to complexity and problems.

Models
Shannon and weaver model:It is designed to provide
effective communication among the sender and
receiver. It helps the sender to eliminate the noise so
that the message is conveyed properly.
• Sender
• Encoder
• Decoder
• Receiver
• Noise

• Communication cycle
• Sender: He is the person who originates the message and
communication process.
• Message: It is the information that the sender wishes to convey.
The overall message must be clear in the mind of sender so that it
is communicated in effective manner.
• Encoding: It is the use of signals that are encoded to send the
message.
• Channel: It includes the means of communication that helps to
convey the message. Like telephone, e-mail etc.

• Receiver: He is the person to whom the message is sent. The person must be active and
must have effective communication skills that will help them to understand the message.
The understanding of message by receiver is important.
• Decoding: It is the process that is being used by the receiver in order to understand the
message.
• Feedback: The receiver gives feedback that helps to know about the message and
understand the same. The problems encountered at the time of understanding the message
are also communicated at this stage.

• Theory
• Lasswell’s Theory of communication
• There are various questions that must be answered in order to have proper
communication. The important questions are as follows:
• Who
• Says What
• In Which Channel
• To Whom
• With what effect?

• There is key role of following the principles of
communication so that all the students in the class are
able to understand.
• Being a teacher of business management, I work on
my communication skills as they help me to achieve a
pre determined goal.
2.2 The application of models in teaching

Continue…
• In today’s time, using traditional ways of teaching do not
work. In order to enhance the business regarding
knowledge case studies and examples while teaching the
students are used.
• All this makes them understand in better manner. all the
resources and communication tools are used to provide
good learning experience. I also provide notes to the
students as they help them to learn the information and
retain the same to attain success.
