Communication Theore-eh-eh-eh!

 adapted from "Telephone"-Lady Gaga

Hello, hello classmates you called?
We can’t hear a thing

W[e] may have communication problems

Here, you see, see

Wha-wha-what did you say

wanna know the theories

Of communication, start with

Shannon-Weaver

Sha-shannon weaver

Sha-shannon weaver

The mathematical model of Shannon weaver

This model is in linear format to begin with

With five components and

The first is information source

Then up next is the transmitter

sends signals to the channel

Receiver decodes the signal

To  the destination

Keep callin’, keep callin’

We just think you wanna know more!

‘bout Shannon-Weaver, Tubbs and Schramm

Keep callin’, keep callin’

We just think you wanna know more!

About their models of communication.

You can call all you want

But there’s always noise

An interference with the message

Entropy, redundancy

Channel capacity

Are the key concepts of this model

Schramm’s model is a two way process
a derivation of Shannon-weaver’s

It still has the encoder

And also the decoder

In fact there were more key concepts

Like feedback from the sender

And the field of encounter

All of these as factors

Now about Tubb’s model

‘tis  also a cycle

Where the communicator

Gets two roles to play

The sender acts as the receiver

And vice versa

Just like Schramm’s model

It is a two way process

 a two way process

a two way process

Just like Schramm’s model, It is a two way process

Now you know many things

models and theories

Shannon and Weaver’s, Schramm’s and Tubb’s!

So y’ all better listen

          For an extra presentation for our report on the Communication Theories, I made alterations to Lady Gaga's "Telephone".  We sang this in front of our class after our group discussed about the communication theories with the aid of a power point presentation.  :)

senses.feelings.environment

            The first learning theory that our class discussed about was the Behaviorist learning theory.  For a behaviorist, what's important are the senses, feeling and environment.  Also, it was mentioned under this that learning occurs when there is conditioning and conditioning comes with reinforcement.  In the behaviorist approach, there is the presence of a stimulus, which must be present in the environment.  The stimulus must be very engaging in that the medium must be pleasing to the eye of the students.  It was stressed in class that the children must not be overwhelmed with stimulation because too much stimulation is already considered as a distraction.  An application of this is the facilitating of games for motivation and praises as rewards.

            For the behaviorist, as the class went on, children learn best through stimulation and reinforcement.  It had always been confusing to me if there is really a negative reinforcement or none at all.  In my Reading and Language class, it was discussed that there are two types of reinforcements, one negative, two positive.  Well, the part of reinforcement being positive is already clear to me, but it has bothered me that there is some kind of reinforcement that is outwardly negative.  My professor then, Ma'am Rom, said that when  the teacher removes a task which is considered as hard and painstaking by the students, then that teacher is applying a negative reinforcement to the students.  That way, the students do away with something they don't like to do.  A perfect example is a postponed exam or a less in the requirements that is needed to be submitted.  My professor said that it somehow make the students feel that the burden has been removed and so it paves the way for them to make time for something else to do which is not necessarily an academic work as well.
