Communication Theories, Models, and Teaching in Higher Education

This homework assignment delves into various communication theories and models, including those of Shannon and Weaver, and David Berlo, highlighting their relevance to teaching, learning, and assessment in higher education. The assignment discusses the importance of effective communication methods such as verbal, non-verbal, and written communication, and emphasizes the significance of language proficiency. It also touches upon classroom management, the use of educational resources, and the application of organizational policies to enhance the learning experience. The assignment suggests methods like one-to-one teaching, small group teaching, and the use of practical demonstrations to improve student understanding and engagement. Furthermore, it stresses the importance of lesson planning and the integration of resources to facilitate a more effective learning environment. This assignment is contributed by a student and is available on Desklib to help other students study and learn.

Theories and Principles

A. Presenting different ways in which theories,
principles, and models of communucation help
in teaching, learning and assessment.

CONTD...
Communication is conveying or exchanging ideas,
information and knowledge, it can also be related to
body language and words. Model of communication
help to know about communication process. These
model provide the opportunity to examine closely the
roles of teacher, professors, student and media and
other information provide in the classroom.

CONTD...
Shannon and Weaver
 These model consider three primary parts i.e. send
channel and receiver.
 The sender part, where person spoke, next channel
telephone itself and receiver is the person who hear the voic
 This is simple model of communication.

CONTD...
David Berlo
Modify Shannon model in order to add Sender-
message- channel-reciever model of
communication.

CONTD...
Schramm
add major five dimension in the channel : Message (what to be
communicat), Source/sender (by whom), Form (in which form),
channel (through which medium), receiver/target (to whom).

CONTD...
In order to enhance the way of learning, teaching and assessment there are many ways
which help to communicate more some of them are discuss below:
 Learning preference
It include many different teaching and learning methods just to
improve the way of teaching for example one-to-one teaching,
pairing work may also help to learn more, as researchers told a
person can be more good learner if he learn thing with someone
else, small group teaching may also affect.

CONTD...
 Communication theory
A teacher can be more effective when he used the way of theories like
verbal (speaking), non- verbal (through action), written (help to
make notes of each subject). These are different ways of
communication which help to became a good learner .
 Language
Use of language should be proper, if student did not understand
any language then teachers should use another and try to explain
thing many times. If way of tongue is not proper then how can be
a student became a good person.

CONTD..
 Management
 The length of classroom should not be exceed as it is
difficult to handle students and to take care of every
student.
 As all know person can learn more when he sees
things practically rather than craming so it should be
complusion in every schools to demonstrate every
practical thing like making labs where students go and
can do practicals which help them to learn more .
 Classrom presentation should be done and proper
lesson planning can also help to make teaching skills
more effective.

CONTD..
 There should be proper use of resources to make
learning more easier and enjoyable.
 As learning can be increased and difficulties related to
it can be reduced by adapting many resources with
great usage and for specific task.
 Applying organisational policies and procedure: every
institutions have their own rules and regulations and
they should follow them but they may also adopt new
and useful policies in order to run it in best way.
