What is a Model?
mod·el | \ ˈmä-dᵊl \ (noun)
1: a usually miniature representation of something
2: a physical representation that shows what it looks like or how it works.
3: a theoretical description that can help you understand how the system or process works, or how it
might work.
A model is a simple representation of reality that helps us to understand how something works. Models
can also help us to understand unknowns or predict what might happen. A model can come in many shapes, sizes,
and styles. It is important to emphasize that a model is not the real world but merely a human construct to help us
better understand real world systems. In general, all models have an information input, an information processor,
and an output of expected results. This basic understanding about models is going to help you learning another
dimension about Communication.

It trains us to be critical of our own ideas as well as of others- meaning we don’t’ simply
accept or reject whatever that is presented to us. One can apply this critical and analytical
mindset in processing information gained from media and addressing certain issues
encountered in life. Critical thinking skills can help us avoid being tricked by false calims
or manipulative schemes.
⮚ Philosophy also improves problem-solving and decision-making.
The ability to analyze a problem or dilemma, identify its significant aspects, and come up
with alternative solutions is an important skill learned through philosophy.
⮚ A philosopher is a good communicator who can clearly and adequately present his or her
ideas.
Discussion and debate requires skills in presenting and communicating ideas.
Communication skills are also enhanced by the study of philosophy because it trains us to be
very clear and precise about our thoughts and sentiments in order to express exactly what we
want to say.

Learning Competencies
Introduction
“Dance is an activity which can take many forms and fill many different needs. It can be
the recreation, entertainment, education, therapy and religion. Dance uses the body as an
instrument of expression in time and space.
What is dance?
Dance provides variety of functions throughout history due to its multidimensionality.
Although there have been immense comparative differences in period and culture, people still
dance mainly for four reasons: (a) to please gods; (b) to please others; (c) to please themselves
or self expression; and (d) to build community within an ethnic group or social
interaction(Myers,2005).
• TIMING
The movements in timing may be executed in varying tempo (speed). Performers
move with the tempo of an underlying sound, known as beat or pulse. The timing can be
varied by moving faster or slower than the normal beat

• DANCE ENERGIES
The movements have propelled by energy or force. A force can either initiate or stop
an action. Dance uses different energies and a varied use of these minimizes the
monotony of the movements in a performance. There are six qualities of dance energies
presented below:
a. Sustained- movements are done smoothly, continuously and with flow and control. It
does not have a clear beginning and ending.
b. Percussive- movements are explosive or sharp in contrast with sustained movements.
They are accented with thrust of energy. They have clear beginning and ending.
c. Vibratory- movements consist of trembling or shaking. A faster version of percussive
movements that produces a jittery effect (Minton, 2007)
d. Swinging- movements trace a curved line or an arc space. The movements are relaxed
and giving in to gravity on the download part of the motion, followed by an upward
application of energy.
e. Suspended- movements are perched in space or hanging on air. Holding a raised leg in
any direction is an example of a suspended movement.
f. Collapsing- movements are released in tension and gradually or abruptly giving in to
gravity, letting the body descend to the floor.
• BODILY SHAPES
It refers to how the entire body is molded in space or the configuration of body parts.
The body can be rounded, angular or combination of two. Other body shapes can be
from wide to narrow and from high to low. They can be symmetrical an asymmetrical.
a. Symmetrical- balanced shape; movements are practically identical or similar on both
sides.
b. Asymmetrical- unbalanced shape; movements of two sides of the body do not match or
completely different from each other.
• GROUP SHAPES
In this elements, a group of dancers perform movements in different group
shapes.they are arranged in ways that are wide, narrow, rounded, angular, symmetrical
or asymmetrical and are viewed together as a total picture or arrangement within a
picture from (Minton, 2007)
Characteristic Of A Good Dance
Like any superb tasting dish, dance can only be considered good if it has the
right ingredients. These characteristics include unity, continuity and development,
variety and contrast, transition, repetition and climax.
1. Unity- the interconnected phrases of the dance are coherent and flow smoothly
together. The movements fit together and each plays an important role that
contributes to the entirely of a dance.
2. Continuity and Development- the phrases of the dance that are organized
progressively, making each movement phrase move naturally into next. There is
a cotinious development of the movement phrase and the audience is swept
along to the end.
3. Variety and Contrast- making one or several variations that highlight the facet of
the motif. Variety and contrast in movement phrases and excitement and flavor in
the dance. Examples of contrasting movements are slow to fast, short to long,
and minimal to large movement phrases.
4. Transition- this is the link between movements, phrases and sections of the
dance. It makes the logical progression of the dance flow smoothly. Transition
may vary from length and complexity. They may be long or short, gradually or
abrupt.. they may also be simple or involving an entire phrases of movement.

WHAT I KNOW?
Before we proceed to more definitions, let us have a recall on qualitative and quantitative data.
Classify the data enumerated in the table below by writing “QN” for quantitative and “QL” for
qualitative.
DATA TYPE: QN/QL
1. Weekly allowance
2. Income of parents
3. Gender
4. Civil status
5. Religion
6. Age
7. Address
8. Educational attainment of parents
9. Jobs/occupation of parents
10. School previously attended
In statistics, researchers call the data cited above as variables. Would you like to know more about
variables? Proceed to the next content and enjoy reading and understanding the lesson.
WHAT’S NEW!
A variable is something that can take on different values for different subjects in each research.
It is a characteristics or property of a population or sample which makes the members different from
each other. In research, this term refers to the measurable attributes of an individual, object, or
situation being studied. It may change from group to group, person to person, or even within one
person over time. The following are types of variables and their uses.
1. ACCORDING TO VALUES
✓ Qualitative variable or categorical variable
o These are variable whose data are non – numeric and whose observation vary in kind
but not in degree.
▪ Examples: sex, religion, civil status
✓ Quantitative variable or continuous variable
o These are variable whose data are counts or numerical measurements and whose
observations vary in magnitude
▪ Examples: age, income, height, weight
2. ACCORDING TO SCALES OF MEASUREMENT
✓ Nominal variable
o is a type of variable that is used to name, label or categorize particular attributes that
are being measured.
Page 19 of 24
Module Code: Pasay – PR2-Q1- W2-D1
Name:__________________________________________ Strand:___________________
o variables whose data are non – numeric labels that do not reflect quantitative
information
▪ Examples: sex, civil status
o Characteristics of Nominal variable
▪ The responses to a nominal variable can be divided into two or more categories
▪ A nominal variable is qualitative, which means numbers are used here only to
categorize or identify objects.
▪ They can also take quantitative values. However, these quantitative values do
not have numeric properties. That is, arithmetic operations cannot bet
performed on them.
o Types of nominal variable
▪ Classification based on collection technique
• Open – ended technique
o Example: On organization who wants to receive feedback from its
customer may ask “how do you think we can improve our service?”
• Closed – ended technique
o Example: How do you think we can improve our service? ( )new menu
( ) better design ( ) train chefs ( ) more active platting
▪ Numeric property
• Sometimes numeric but do not possess numerical characteristics.
• Examples are phone numbers, students numbers.
✓ Ordinal variable
o variable where there is meaningful order or categories but there is no measurable
distance between categories. There is no standard ordering in the ordinal variable scale.
o has order but the intervals between scale points may be uneven
▪ Examples: socio – economic of the families, acad awards
o second level of measurement and is extension of the nominal variable. They are built
upon nominal scales by assigning numbers to objects to reflect a rank or ordering on an
attribute.
o Types of ordinal variable
▪ with numeric value
• Example: How satisfied are you with our service tonight? 1. Very Satisfied 2.
Satisfied 3. Indifferent 4. Dissatisfied 5. Very Dissatisfied
▪ without numeric value
• Example: How satisfied are you with our service tonight? Ο Very Satisfied
ο Satisfied ο Indifferent ο Dissatisfied ο Very Dissatisfied
o Characteristics of ordinal variable
▪ Extension of nominal data ▪ Measures qualitative traits
▪ No standardized interval ▪ Median and mode can be
scale analysed
▪ Establishes a relative rank ▪ Has a rank or order
o Examples of ordinal variable: Likert scale, Interval scale
✓ Interval variables
o is a measurement variable that is used to define values measured along a scale, with
each point placed at an equal distance from one another.
o Characteristics of interval variable
▪ It takes numerical values and may be classified as a continuous variable type
▪ Arithmetic operations can be performed on the numerical values of the interval
variable. However, these operations are restricted to only addition and
subtraction
▪ Extension of ordinal variable, and are built upon ordinary variables.
▪ The intervals on the scale are equal. The scale is equidistant
Page 20 of 24
Module Code: Pasay – PR2-Q1- W2-D1
Name:__________________________________________ Strand:___________________
▪ The variables are measured using an intervals scale, which not only shows the
order but also shows the exact difference in the value.
▪ It has no zero value
o variable whose data values are ranged in a real interval and can be as large as from
negative infinity to positive infinity.
▪ Examples: Temperature when measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit, Mark Grading,
use numbers as a reference point, Time using 12 – hour clock, IQ Test, CGPA,
Test
✓ Ratio Variable
o the highest level of measurement that has all the characteristics of the interval plus a
true zero point
o both the differences and the ration of two values are meaningful and there is always an
absolute zero that is meaningful.
o Examples: Multiple choice questions, Survey/Questionnaires, Measurement
o Characteristics
▪ Has absolute zero characteristics.
▪ It has an intrinsic order with an equidistant scale
▪ It doesn’t have a negative number.
▪ It allows for the addiction, interaction, multiplication, and division of variables.
▪ Statistical analysis including mean, mode, median, etc. can be calculated.
