 LEARNING OBJECTIVE
1. Differentiate various models of communication

LEARNING INPUTS:
1. Communication models refer to a conceptual representation that explain the
communication processes (Business topia, 2018).
2. There are three general types of communication models in which all other communication
models are mostly categorized.
A. A linear model of communication, developed by Shannon and Weaver (1949), views
communication as a one-way process in which a source encodes a message through
a channel to a receiver who decodes the message. Noise can influence whether the
message sent by the source is accurately received by the receiver.
B. An interactive model of communication emphasizes two-way communication
between communicators. Notice that, although both parties perform all the functions
of the sender and receiver in the information transfer model (encoding and decoding),
they take turns acting as sender and receiver.
C. The transactional model of communication differs from the interactive model
because it views the source and receiver as engaging in encoding and decoding
simultaneously. Furthermore, it accounts for personal fields of meaning. The personal
fields of meaning of the two communicators can overlap, creating a shared field of
meaning.

3. Other Communication models

A. Dance’s Helical Model. Communication depends on previous experiences and
activities of the speakers.
B. Westley and MacLean’s Model. Communication starts from the environment and
not when the message is spoken or shown.
