Communication Models and Processes

Communication models are essential frameworks that help us understand the components and interactions involved in communication. The document outlines three models: the Linear Model, which is one-way; the Interactive Model, which incorporates feedback; and the Transactional Model, which views communication as simultaneous. It also describes the stages of the communication process, including ideation, encoding, transmission, decoding, feedback, and noise.

Communication Models and Processes

Why Models Matter: Communication models provide frameworks that help us


understand how communication works. They outline the components
involved and how these elements interact, helping communicators
troubleshoot issues or improve their effectiveness.

Linear Model (Shannon-Weaver Model):

This is a one-way model where the sender transmits a message through a


channel to a receiver.

Example: A teacher delivering a lecture, a TV broadcast, or a public


announcement.

Limitation: It doesn’t account for feedback or interaction.

Interactive Model:

Adds the concept of feedback and context to the communication process.

Communication is two-way: the sender and receiver exchange messages,


taking turns.

Example: Email correspondence, classroom discussions.

Limitation: Communication is seen as turn-based rather than simultaneous.


Transactional Model:

Views communication as a dynamic, simultaneous process.

Both participants are sender and receiver at the same time.

Emphasizes the role of shared experiences, culture, and context.

Example: Face-to-face conversations, video calls.

Stages of the Communication Process:

1. Ideation – Conceptualizing the message.

2. Encoding – Choosing words, symbols, or gestures to express the


message.

3. Transmission – Sending the message via a channel.

4. Decoding – Interpreting or making sense of the message.


5. Feedback – Communicating a response.

6. Noise – Any interference that disrupts communication.
