Models & Theories: Communication in Education and Assessment

This report provides an overview of communication and learning theories, principles, and models relevant to education and assessment. It begins by introducing the concept of learning and its importance in acquiring knowledge and skills. The report then discusses various communication models, including Aristotle's model, Shannon and Weaver's model, and Lasswell's model, explaining how each can be applied to enhance teaching and learning. It emphasizes the importance of effective communication in sharing knowledge and creating a conducive learning environment. Furthermore, the report analyzes key teaching and learning theories such as Piaget's theory of human intelligence development and Vygotsky's social development theory, highlighting their impact on child development and learning processes. The report concludes by stressing the importance of recognizing and overcoming barriers to effective communication in the classroom and encouraging educators to respect student opinions to foster a positive learning environment. The report is helpful for students, and Desklib provides additional solved assignments for further study.

THEORIES,
PRINCIPLES AND
MODELS IN E & T

INTRODUCTION
• Every individual have ability to learn through which
they can acquire new knowledge, understanding, skill,
idea etc.
• Learning is a procedure for acquire and grape thing,
knowledge, information regarding specific subject.
• The presentation will outline the communication and
learning theories which assist in child development.

Explaining the way in which principles, theories and
models of communication can be applied to learning,
teaching and assessment
Aristotle's Model: This model include the five
essential or important factors of communication
these are Speaker, message, Audience, Effect as
well as Happening or event. This hypothesis
propose that the speaker or teacher is required to
prepare or write a speech for separate audiences or
learner on separate instance for separate goal. This
model is applied in public speaking or group

Shannon and Weaver's Model : also recognised
as engineering model of communication. It is
based on a typical of the procedure school of
thought. It is also recognised as the
mathematical theory of communication .As This
hypothesis provide a technique to identify or
resolve the problem of the way to deliver
maximum information in a given channel to
student or learner. Shannon and Weaver's
Model projected the noise thought

Lasswell's Model: states that for mass
communication procedure it is required to
develop understanding about each of the stage.
This hypothesis expatiates on the impact or
consequences instead of the message itself.
Outcome implies evident or noticeable change in
the receiver or learner or student. It also
suggests that any change in the elements will
have significant on learning outcome.

• Tutor must ensure that students and academics
share common interest in meeting the
challenges that may occur in developing as well
as maintaining effective learning environment.
• It is essential for tutor to confirm that learning
facilities are accessible by all the students.

TEACHING AND
LEARNING THEORIES
• Piaget: Human intelligence development
theory
• Vygotsky: Social development theory
• Berne: Parent Adult child theory

Vygotsky theory
• Vygotsky theory is based on social
development and is proposed by Lev
Vygotsky.
• The motive of theory is to promote learning
over social development.

• As per theory the development of child is
based on dual factors that is social
inclusion and at individuals level.

intelligence.

continue
• In accordance to this theory the child
development is enhanced with biological
maturity and different experiences.

learning by involving them in different
practical situations.

Analysing the theories, principle and models of
communication.
There are several forms of communication, and it has
been identified that Different people respond to the type
of communication. When a teacher deliver knowledge or
education to student , they consider the behaviour as
well as learning pattern adopted by the different learner.
Teacher also understand that , every person has unique
pattern of learning and has knowledge gaining capacity.
Therefore, educator utilised different teaching
techniques such as they use various communication
tools such as Visual, Aural, Readers, Kinaesthetic for
delivering education to children..

. Learners learn in different ways depending on the
results produced by a sensory input. Communication
is refers to as act of imparting information.
Communication in context of teaching is defined as
sharing off knowledge. According to the theory
proposed by Walklin, it is not sufficient to pass on the
instructions, it is also crucial to present praise or
constructive disapproval in order to promote and
guide the learner into new discovery. Achieving both
way communications with learners is not a big task.

There may be several Barriers can occur in
communicating effectively. It is important for a
teacher to recognise barriers and assist
learners overcome hurdles. Another thing
headteacher should also listen what the

will help teacher in encouraging encouraging
learner to continue learning and encouraging
them to share their views , problems etc

• The presented summarized two theories of learning
that is Piaget, the Human intelligence development
