    Study Notes

    Communication Fundamentals

    • Involves a sender who encodes a message and a receiver who decodes it.
    • A channel is used to transmit the message from sender to receiver.

    Shannon-Weaver Model

    • Developed in 1948 by Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver.
    • Described in Shannon's article "A Mathematical Theory of Communication."
    • Often referred to as the “Mother of all Models” for its foundational significance.
    • Incorporates feedback, which can be either positive (no noise interference) or negative (noise interference).

    Advantages and Disadvantages

    • Advantage: Facilitates two-way communication and promotes group interaction.
    • Disadvantage: Criticized as a "misleading representation" of the complexity of human communication.

    Berlo's SMCR Model

    • Focuses on four critical factors influencing communication:
      • Communication Skills: The ability to convey and interpret messages effectively.
      • Attitude: The personal disposition that impacts how messages are sent and received.
      • Knowledge: The background information and context possessed by the sender and receiver.
      • Socio-cultural Systems: The societal and cultural contexts that affect communication dynamics.
