“Channeling Education”

Learning is an activity that is so broad, us humans revolutionized the world to a more

technological and advanced environment. Through learning we were able to develop such
technology that offered us immense capability of changing our lives, through learning, we also
managed to keep the knowledge preserved for thousand of years.

Development Journalism aims to study human communication behaviors using specific

social sciences methods (Jamias, 2001). This is in-relation to educational communication, a
crucial subfield, relative. Without educational communication’s ethical procedures, the content of
the development-oriented information will fail to be taught by the educators and absorbed by the
learners.

Development Journalism requires its content legitimacy and accuracy, this is for us to
communicate information that helps the people grow, we use scientific practices that helps us
keep organized. These scientific practices offer equitable systems that could fit to various
audiences (ACET, 2004). Keeping a much broader coverage of dispersing information. Since
Development Journalism is purposive (Jamias), the writer must preserve focus, effective
methods in dispersing the information.

The way Educational Communication plan on how to disseminate information, is

essential to almost every aspect of teaching and learning. For example, if you grew up in a
formal educational environment, with teachers, planned lessons, graded activities, and a
classroom setup, without the awareness of the informal and non-formal educational
communication, you might think that our local farmers, the ones on the farm under the heat, you
might think that they do not have any education.

Educational communication requires well-planned procedures that base on scientific

facts, it must be executed using appropriate environment with consideration of the
audience/learner’s capabilities to understand the materials (ACET, 2004).
 The truth is, they do, without communicating vocational activities, they would not get the
chance to learn the basics of farming. Though considering their level of formal education,
communicators were able to give a more fitting method of teaching through educational
communication methods.

After reading the materials provided, it gave me a sense of security that we do have a
solid definition of educational communication. Though as lengthy as it is, I now understand that
communicating certain information requires thick books and long articles to understand, it is vital
for a much deeper understanding of what we want to know, and what we want to teach. Books
are references meant to solidify our knowledge and awareness. But it is not essentially easy for
some to recite what has been learned, that is why educational communication methods takes
place.

My cousin studies at Don Bosco, a school that offers Vocational and Baccalaureate
degrees, he is taking up Automotive. While studying here in our own respective rooms, we take
breaks, we then talk about how we understood our materials effectively. He told me that
studying inside an enclosed room with no actual engine is hard and confusing, he is not actually
learning the “how’s”, instead he is learning the “what’s”. The same goes for me, as a journalist in
the making, field activities are required for me to hone my abilities. The appropriateness of the
educational system now is a little bit skewed; it does not really cater all possible learning
methods.

This shows that educational communication’s methods are vital to true learning.
