2. MODEL OF COMMUNICATION
The purpose of a “model of
communication” is to offer a visual
representation of a concept with the
intent of facilitating the understanding
of it..
Traditionally speaking there are three
model of communications process:
3. Linear Communication Model
The linear model’s behavior is belied by its name,
where a sender encodes a message via a channel
and the message is decoded by the receiver.
It is straight-line communication found typically
in mass communication; like television,radio,newspaper
Generally we can say that according to this model
there is no feed-back from the receiver.
Shannon and Weaver were the first to present the Linear Model of
Communication in 1949′s The Mathematical Theory of Communication.
5. Interactive Communication Model
It now allows for a feedback element because after a message is encoded and
sent to the decoding receiver, the roles then reverse and the receiver
encodes and sends a response to the original sender who has now turned to be
a receiver.
Same like action and reaction phenomenon
For example
Text messages to each other in which we receive and give response
Same phenomenon occur in telephone call and email exchanges.
7. Transactional Communication Model
This model depicts face-to-face interaction, or “trans-
action” as a dynamic and changeable process that is not
limited to simple definition.
In the Transactional Model, receiver and sender can play
the same roles simultaneously, as sometimes happens, as
messages can be sent back and forth simultaneously.
It appears chaotic (confusable) and ineffective.
No one can surely say that the message is conveyed
successfully or not……in that environment.
