RAMGEL MARICAR MOONYEEN ANGELICA B. A. S. S. UNIT 3- ELEMENTS OF COMMUNICATION PROCESS The Process of Communication What is Process of Communication? is a two-way process wherein the message in the form of ideas, thoughts, feelings, opinions is transmitted between two or more persons with the intent of creating a shared understanding. The Process of Communication Why is Communication a Process? JOSEPH A. DEVITO 1980 Communication is a process to emphasize that is always changing in motion. JOHN R. ANDERSON 1987 It is a series of action that has neither beginning nor end, something evolving or dynamic. Communication Process Communication Process Sender Message Channel Barriers Feedback Sender A person who encodes and sends the message to the expected receiver through an appropriate channel. Message Is the content of A message is communication and defined as may contain verbal information and nonverbal. conveyed by words. (In speak or even writing) CHANNEL Is a medium Several channels can be through which a used to send or receive message is sent the message either seeing, or received hearing,touching,smelling between two or and tasting. more people. BARRIERS /NOISE Are things that get in the way of a message being received. A. Various meaning of Noise anything that interferes with the communication process between a speaker and an audience. 1.

B. Physical Noise Creates distortion of the message and prevents it from being understand the way it was intended. EXAMPLES 1. Loud music 2. Loud Vehicle 3. A person is too angry or fearful to listen what another individual is saying. FEEDBACK/ RESPONSE This ensures the receiver has received the message and interpreted correctly as it was intended by the sender. It increases the effectiveness of the communication as it permits the sender to know the efficacy of his message. COMMUNICATION MODELS Is a systematic representation of the process which helps in understanding how communication works can be done Communication Models SHANNON AND WEAVER MU CONSTRUCTIVIST MODEL SCHRAMM MODEL DANCE MODEL BERLO MODEL 1. SHANNON AND WEAVER a mathematical theory of communication that argues that human communication Shannon and Weavers' communication model clearly demonstrates why even the most basic forms of communication can be misread or misinterpreted. Sending signals with so many intricacies increases the risk of meaning being twisted. A Information source which produces a message. A Transmitter which encodes the message into signals. A Channel which signal are adapted for transmission. A Receiver which decodes the message from the signals. A Destination where the message arrives. EXAMPLE:
Brain might be the sender, mouth is the
encoder which encodes to a particular language, air might be the channel , another person's ear might be the receptor and his brain might be the decoder and receiver 2. MU CONSTRUCTIVIST MODEL Mutual Understanding Theory Write Your Topic or Idea A theory that seeks to explain individual differences in peoples ability to communicate skillfully in social situations. Is a modified version of the schramm model that emphasizes a common area of experience. EXAMPLE: If the child who has a conceptual framework for cars suddenly sees a truck, he may think at first that it is also a car. But then he realizes that there are differences and the truck does not fit into his classification framework. He has to develop a new framework to fit trucks. 3. SCHRAMM MODEL Is the concept of field experience. Every individual communicator has previous and present experience that helps him relate to other communicators, which is assumed here. These encounters establish a reservoir of knowledge from which he derives meaning at any point of conversation In other words
the communication is incomplete
unless and until the sender receives a feedback from the recipient. EXAMPLE: You haven't talked to your best friend in a while so you decide to call her on your drive home from work. You take turns updating each other on your weekend, what you have planned for the summer, and how members of your respective families are doing. When you hang up, you promise to chat again soon. 4. DANCE MODEL Write Your Topic or Idea The Dance Model resembles a helix, indicating that each interaction in a communication affects each of the participants and, as a result, has an impact on what happens next. EXAMPLE: A BABY Dance explains his helical model with the example of a person learning throughout their life cycle. They start early on with very rudimentary communication methods. They may cry at their mother to get her attention, then, later they might learn to speak in single words, then full sentences, and so on. 5. BERLO MODEL Write Your Topic or Idea David Berlo’s SMCR Model of Communication represents the process of communication in its simplest form. The acronym SMCR stands for Sender, Message, Channel, and Receiver. Components of Berlo’s SMCR Model of Communication SENDER The sender of the message is the source who creates and sends the message to the receiver. The source is the start of the communication process and is the person who encodes the message. COMMUNICATION SKILL
Communication skills include:
reading, listening, speaking etc. ATTITUDE One’s attitude in relationship to the audience, receiver and subject changes the meaning and consequence of the message.ing etc. KNOWLEDGE. Familiarity with the subject of the message makes communication more effective. SOCIAL SYSTEM Values, beliefs, religion and rules influence the way in which the sender communicates the message, alongside location and circumstances. CULTURE Cultural differences may result in the message being interpreted differently. MESSAGE The message is the package of information or meaning that is sent from sender to receiver. The message can be sent in various forms, such as audio, speech, text, video or other media. CONTENT The content of the message from beginning to end. TREATMENT Treatment refers to the way in which the message is sent, the message’s packaging. CODE The code of the message is the form in which the message is sent. This may include text, language, video, gestures, music, etc. CHANNEL The channel is the medium used to send the message. The medium must be able to be picked up by the Hearing sensory system of the Seeing receiver and may Touching Smelling therefore involve vision, Tasting sound, smell, taste or touch. Humans have the following senses RECEIVER The receiver is the person who receives and subsequently decodes the coded message. In a linear communication process, the receiver is always located at the end. COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN Write Your Topic or Idea is defined as a failure to exchange information resulting in a lack of communication. Misunderstanding, miscommunication, or, to put it another way, something comes in the way of the communication process, causing the transaction to fail. Don Morlan and George Tuttle " " communication breakdown is a failure of the human communication system". EXAMPLE A member of staff making a mistake due to miscommunication or not enough information given in training. Two members of staff doing the same task and not realising. A colleague not treating a client correctly. Thank you!
