He describes communication as ever dynamic or changing because every human has its different symbolic interaction. According to Wood (2004), what is Communication? Symbolic interaction – we put meaning to everything that we see. What are the elements in the Process of Stimulus, sender, receiver, feedback, and noise. Communication? It is the idea or concept that a sender would like to What do we mean by stimulus? convey. Noise is the element in communication that causes Noise is one of the elements in the communication breakdown or a hindrance in the communication process, the question is… what is noise and what process. The four types are: physical noise, are the Types of Communication Noise? psychological noise, physiological noise and semantic noise. It is the interference in our environment. For example: What do we mean by Physical Noise? construction activity, barking dogs, or a noisy conflict nearby. It is a distraction caused by hunger, fatigue, headaches What is Physiological Noise? and any other factors that affects how we feel and think. Qualities in us that affect how we interact and interpret What is Psychological Noise? others. For example: stress, worries about money, and a tight daily schedule. It exists when words themselves are not mutually What is Semantic Noise? understood. For example: mispronunciation, foreign languages, and unique word usage.  First, we have the sender. The sender will initiate a topic or a concept [stimulus – idea]. That sender will encode or transform his or her thoughts to form a message. That message will be delivered through the use of your medium [channel/means of communication]. Since you Explain the Process of Communication during the have delivered your message by the use of your Transmission Phase. medium or channel, that’s the time the receiver will now decode [analyze/interpret] your message. After the receiver decodes the message that is the time, he/she will give feedback and be the sender. [The receiver will now be the sender]. Process your thoughts or stimulus [idea] to form a What do you mean by encoding? message. What is Medium? Medium is the channel or the means of communication. Through chats, through texts, through emails > different models have different perspectives in a communication process. What is the essence of having a communication model? Our communication model is also used to understand how the receiver will interpret the message. Aristotelian Model Are you familiar with Aristotle? He is a Greek philosopher and a student of Plato. Simplest model – [Aristotelian Model is the simplest model because it is a linear process without the concept of feedback. The speaker speaks and you, as the audience, will only listen.] Communication was viewed as a one way or linear process where the speaker speaks and the listener only listens. Developed among the Greeks in Ancient times. First model of communication and was proposed before 300 B.C Shows only one passive receiver. This model was highly used to develop public speaking skills and create propaganda. As you can see in the picture, we have the speaker, speech, occasion, audience, and effect. This has no concept of feedback. Aristotelian Model of Communication 1. Speaker. The source of the message. 2. Speech. Message from the speaker. 3. Occasion. Is the event. 4. Audience. The receiver of the delivered speech or message. 5. Effect. When the speech is delivered it will have an effect on the audience. The best example for this model is a public speaking activity. In a public speaking setting, there is only one speaker who will deliver his/her speech to the audience [the occasion is all about: campaign speech for an election campaign]. The speaker here will deliver a message to its audience and the delivered speech will have an effect on the audience. [Example situation: You are a candidate for an upcoming election and you will be having your campaign speech, and then, your message will have an effect on the people and it is up to them if they will vote for you depending on how effective your message is to them. If your advocacy is worth voting for, the effect will be >> the citizens will vote for you]. Example #2: State of the Nation Address or SONA – the citizens will only listen to the message of the president. Example #3: A politician [speaker] gives a speech to get votes from the civilians [audience] at the time of the election [occasion]. The civilians only vote if they are influenced by the things the politician says in his/her speech [effect]. Criticisms of Aristotelian Model of Communication: 1. There is no concept of feedback. 2. There is no concept of communication failure like noise and barriers. 3. This model can only be used in public speaking. One-way process Two-way process means there is only one who speaks and you, means a conversation between two people as the audience, will only listen Review The Aristotelian Model is the simplest model because there is no concept of feedback and is only a one-way process or linear. speaker, speech, occasion, audience, and effect Laswell’s Model of Communication The earliest model of communication Developed by Harold Laswell It is based on the effect of the sender’s message on the receiver. There is no feedback for the message. WHO says WHAT to WHOM through WHICH channel with WHAT EFFECT? In this model you will just have to memorize the following questions. [Who says? What? To whom? In which channel? With what effect?] The same with the Aristotelian Model, there is no feedback and still a one-way process. Difference between Aristotelian and Laswell’s Model of Communication Aristotelian’s Model talks about the occasion or with Laswell’s Model is all about the medium or in which which event. channel of the communication, not the occasion. Criticisms of Laswell’s Model of Communication: 1. There is no feedback for the message. 2. It is very linear in nature. 3. It presents communication as more of a persuasive process rather than an informative process as the focus is on the effect that the communication causes on the receiver. Shannon and Weaver’s Model (1949)  This includes noise or interference that distorts understanding between the speaker and the listener. This model takes communication as a two-way process. “Mother of all models”. Levels of Communication Problems There are three levels of problems of communication according to Shannon Weaver. They are: Three Levels of Problems of Communication – Shannon & Weaver Technical Problem How a channel causes a problem Is the meaning of the message sent and received very Semantic Problem different? Effectiveness Problem How effectively does the message cause a reaction? Criticisms of Shannon-Weaver’s Model of Communication: 1. It can be applied more for interpersonal communication than group communication and mass communication. 2. Receiver plays the passive part in the communication process as sender plays the primary role that sends messages. 3. Feedback is taken as less important in comparison to the messages sent by the sender. Schramm and Wood’s Model of Communication It is a more interactive model and it is also known as a convergence model. This includes noise or interference that distorts understanding between the speaker and the listener. This model takes communication as a two-way process. Components of Interactive Model Encoder-source-decoder: The person who originates a message is the source Message: Message is the information during the interaction. The decoder forms a second message after receiving Feedback: the first which is known as feedback. Field of experience is the experience and knowledge Field of Experience: that the source possesses which affects the message formation and interpretation.  Criticisms of Schramm and Wood’s Model of Communication: 1. Feedback is not simultaneous and can take a long time as this model is mostly used for the internet. 2. Communication is not taken as dynamic. It predicts communication to follow the same pattern always. Berlo’s Model of Communication Developed by David Berlo. It focuses on the speaker and receiver’s knowledge, attitudes, sociocultural and communication skills. It has four components to describe the communication process. They are sender, message, channel, and receiver. Berlo’s SMCR Model of Communication: I. SOURCE: The source is situated where the message originates. Communication Skills. It is the skill of the individual to communicate. Attitudes. This includes attitudes towards the audience, subject and towards oneself. Knowledge. Communicating also means that the person needs to be knowledgeable about the subject or topic. Social System. The social system includes the various aspects of society like values, beliefs, culture, religion and a general understanding of society. Culture. Culture of a particular society also comes under the social system. COMMUNICATION MODEL COR 1 (ORAL COMMUNICATION) Session 1.3 | 1st Quarter | 1st Semester COMMUNICATION MODEL This model was highly used to develop public speaking skills and create propaganda. Communication models are systematic ○ Highly used in public speaking or representations of the process which helps in creating propaganda. understanding how communication works can Feedback is not part of the process be done. Each model offers a different perspective on Example: A politician (speaker) gives a speech to get the communication process. votes from the civilians (audience) at the time of It is also used to understand how the election (occasion). The civilians only vote if they are receivers will interpret the message. influenced by the things the politician says in his speech.

First model of communication and was This model is focused on the speaker alone. proposed before 300 B.C Linear or one-way-process of communication: Communication was viewed as a one-way or no concept of feedback. linear process where the speaker speaks and the listener listens. Criticisms of Aristotle’s Model of Communication ○ Focuses on the speaker 1. There is no concept of feedback, it is one way Shows only a passive receiver from speaker to audience.  One-way-process of communication: process as the focus is on the effect that the No concept of feedback communication causes on the receiver. 2. There is no concept of communication failure The focus of this model is more on the like noise and barriers. effect. 3. This model can only be used in public speaking. SHANNON AND WEAVER’S MODEL (1949) Can only be used in public speaking. This includes noise or interference that distorts LASWELL’S MODEL understanding between the speaker and the listener. The earliest model of communication This model takes communication as a two-way Developed by Harold Laswell process. It is based on the effect of the sender’s “Mother of all models” message on the receiver. There is no feedback for the message. It is known as the “mother of all models” because of WHO says WHAT to WHOM through WHICH its wide popularity. The model is also known as channel with WHAT EFFECT? ‘information theory’ or the ‘Shannon theory’. ○ WHO: communicator; The model's primary value is in explaining how ○ says WHAT: the message; messages are lost and distorted in the process of ○ to WHOM; communication. ○ through WHICH channel: mediums of We have the sender, encoder, channel, communication (talking, phones, decoder and receiver. messenger, messages, telephone call) Are sender and encoder the same? In this ○ with WHAT EFFECT? model, the sender is the information source or the person itself. The encoder talks about the Aristotelean and Laswell’s model of communication are technology or a gadget that will encode the quite the same because both have no concept of message. feedback. But in Laswell’s model, we have the effect Transmitter: technology of the message given by the sender. Linear but also focuses not on the speaker Example: Mag send ka ng message, you here is the alone but also in the effect of the public sender and your phone is the encoder of your message to the audience message (the one who translates and encode the message to form it into words) Example: CNN NEWS Decoder: If you have a text mate; the decoder A water leak from Japan’s tsunami-crippled nuclear would be your text mate’s phone or gadget. power station resulted in about 100 times the permitted Receiver: the person who will receive the level of radioactive material flowing into the sea, message operator Tokyo Electric Power Co said on Saturday. Since it has feedback, we consider this model as a two-way-process. Who: TEPC Operator Noise is present. What: Radioactive material flowing into sea Channel: CNN NEWS (Television medium) Example: Whom: Public A businessman sends a message via phone text to his Effect: Alert the people of Japan from the radiation. worker about a meeting happening about their brand promotion. The worker does not receive the full Criticisms of Laswell’s Model of Communication message because of noise. It goes like this: 1. There is no feedback for the message. Businessman: We have a meeting at the office 2. It is very linear in nature. (“at 8 am” goes missing due to phone network If the message has no feedback, we disruption or noise) consider that one as linear or Worker (feedback): At what time? one-way-process of communication but if there is feedback, we call that Sender: Businessman (information source) model as a two-way-process of Encoder: Telephone network company (kung ano man communication (vice versa, giving of ang ginamatin ni businessman to compose his feedback or response to each other) message) 3. It presents communication as more of a Channel: Mobile network persuasive process rather than an informative Noise: Missing text due to disruption Decoder: Mobile phone (of the receiver) Receiver: Worker The “convergence model,” as it is known, describes communication, not as an event but a process. The LEVELS OF COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS sender and receiver engage in interpretation and response toward the goal of mutual understanding.... There are three levels of problems of communication Meaning is something that gets worked out by the according to Shannon Weaver. They are: sender and receiver. 1. Technical problem – How a channel causes a Source’s field of experience and receiver’s problem field of experience occurs when there is a missing text that was received by the receiver What is Field of Experience? That is the beliefs, values, experiences, or 2. Semantic problem – Is the meaning of culture that the sender or receiver has. message sent and received very different. It can affect how we perceive the message. the meaning of message sent and received very different, all about For example, you have a friend with a different culture words.
