...Project Part 1: Gather Information on the Factors that Affect the Communication Process CO2520 Communication Professor: Ms Callender Communication is a learned skill. However, while most people are born with the physical ability to talk, not all can communicate well unless they make special efforts to develop and refine this skill further. Communication has been defined as the act of giving, receiving or exchanging information, ideas and opinions so that the message is completely understood by both parties. In a communication process, there must be a sender who speaks or sends a message, and a receiver who listens or receives the message. The sender sends a message with a certain intention in mind. The receiver of the message tries to understand and interpret the message sent. He then gives feedback to the original sender, who in turn interprets the feedback. there are several major elements in the communication process- a sender, message, channel, receiver, feedback, context. A message is only considered successfully communicated when both the sender and the receiver perceive and understand it in the same way. If this does not happen, then there may be a breakdown in communication, which may ultimately stand in the way of you realising your goals, either personally or professionally. Factors Affecting Communication Process: Effective communication is a two-way process but there are a number of factors which may disrupt this process and affect...

Hansen ITT-Technical Institute Author Note Erik L Hansen, Department of Drafting & Design, ITT-Technical Institute, Boise. Correspondence concerning this project should be addressed to Erik L Hansen, E-mail: erikhansen26@gmail.com Introduction. The grass is freshly cut, uniforms recently pressed and washed. The summer-night-air is filled with the smell of functioning concession stands and the sounds of many conversations. Players and fans take their positions, the players trot onto the field and fans get comfortable in their seats. The show is about to begin. First pitch is thrown and a stadium relying on communication is operational once more. Foremost, this research paper will continue with the assumption that the reader understands the basics of the game of baseball and/or has been to a game. As we know every action within the stadium requires some sort of communication. The game of baseball itself is a game where the most successful team communicates superbly. Baseball relies on communication from preparation, studying, and putting the game-plan through action to in-game adjustments and secret signs. Delving deeper into the stadium we discover that the game is not the only thing relying on forms of communication. Concession stand employees will need to use their listening skills to appropriately form a customer’s order, stadium signs will properly direct fans to their...

...means of direct or indirect communication, instructors must convey instruction to students within a classroom. When lecturing or describing assignments, a teacher must gauge the comfort level of each of his students with his communication style. For example, if he explicitly defines rules and regulations associated with classwork, he may help students to be clearly aware of their boundaries, but may also lead them to feel micromanaged. In actual practice, communication within the classroom tends to be a happy compromise between both extremes, being neither exclusively direct or indirect in nature. Soliciting Participation o Student involvement during classroom discussions typically fosters a healthy communication process. Students should be coaxed to participate in the classroom, despite the fact that many students are reticent to voice their opinions. The solicitation of participation serves multiple purposes. Students observe that their questions are worthy of being answered, can freely exchange ideas with one another and can build confidence as they express themselves in public. Often, instructors can quickly identify weak areas of student understanding when they are invited to speak up during a class session. Verbal and Nonverbal Communication o Communication within a classroom context relies just as heavily on written instruction, body language and implicit expectancies as it does on verbal cues.

...FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE COMMUNICATION PROCESS Perception Perception is a process by which the meanings of messages are interpreted. The way messages are perceived is related to a combination of a person’s social and cultural influences, gender, educational background and knowledge, and past experiences (Schuster 2010). This complex mix of influences means that no two people are likely to perceive the same message in exactly the same way. Some of the strongest influences on the way messages are sent and their meanings perceived are the attitudes, values and beliefs that individuals hold (Van Der Molen & Gramsbergen-Hoogland 2005). Clinical Interest Box 6.1 demonstrates communication in process. Attitudes, values and beliefs Attitude is the way one person behaves towards another. A person’s attitude can be positive, or negative and unpleasant. An unpleasant attitude in the workplace makes other people feel uncomfortable and it is detrimental to the wellbeing of clients (Pullen 2007). Attitude can be influenced by what is happening in a person’s life. For example, a fight with a friend may create feelings of anger or distress. Such feelings can be reflected in a negative, even hostile, attitude towards others, which can change the way messages are transmitted and received. Nurses have a professional responsibility to maintain a positive attitude towards clients at all times, so every effort must be made to put personal concerns and feelings aside when communicating with...

...about the state of the American educational system and how it can be improved. While these discussions include students from head start to doctoral programs, there is a smaller group of students whose circumstances are exceptionally dire and go largely un-discussed. African American males have one of the highest dropout rates in the United States. This is so because African American males face significantly more obstacles in receiving a high school diploma. The main factors that contribute to African American high school males dropping out are: poverty, bad school, and family breakdown (Crouse, 2010). Conversely, there are factors that contribute to African American males graduating from high school such as culturally sensitive curricula and positive Black male role models. Understanding the scope of the contributing factors surrounding the high school graduation rate of African American males paints a picture of what it means to be Black and male in the American education system. Poverty is a contributing factor to the low high school graduation rate of African American males. "Positioning Young Black" states that 36 percent of Black children live in poverty and: In many areas, Black Americans are segregated in minority communities where children are more likely to go to school with other children of color. The impact of racial, social and class stratification over a lifetime can have devastating effects for Black boys. Racial segregation and the ideologies that support it...

...Describe the factors that influence the effectiveness of interpersonal communication Interpersonal communication This process of sharing ideas and feelings between individuals. This can be improved through appropriate knowledge practices, feedback and reflection. Cultural influence Culture is referred to as customs, language, arts of a particular region. It includes learned values, beliefs and behaviors common to a group of individuals. Culture can be strong barrier to interpersonal communication between people of different cultures. Individuals from different cultures or background often carry an attitude that their own culture is superior to that of others. This hampers communication between groups from different cultures. For example: an individual who is ethnocentric in nature often is under the impression that anyone who doesn’t belong to their group is either strange or inferior. This perception prevents healthy social and political communication between the two parties. Power This is the ability to influence others and have strong self control under complex circumstances. All interpersonal communication or interactions reflect some form of power which maybe obvious or hidden. Obvious power refers to people who occupy a higher position in business and have to communicate with other employees. People in power positions may exert their power on individuals who are not equally competent and this inequality could act as a barrier to effective communication. Noise This is an...

...Factors which influence Learning, Relationships and Communication in a Classroom Studies have shown that learning, relationships and communication actively interrelate, influencing each other. If a teacher has good communication skills they will develop a good relationship with their students which in turn will have a positive effect on the learning environment (Kyriacou 1998). However, over the years theorists in educational psychology have viewed pupils’ motivation as one of the most important features that contribute to student learning (Chrisotphel 1990). Therefore, this essay will critically discuss motivation as a key factor that influences these three areas. According to Seifert (1999) motivation affects the amount of time and energy students are willing to devote to any task. If motivation is essential for learning students need reasons to expend the energy. Teachers are the main adults in students live for several hours during the week. Therefore teachers are given the opportunity to play a significant role in the pupil’s social and personal development (Woolfolk et al 2008). It is the teachers’ responsibility to establish such an environment, flourished with positive energy which enables pupils to reach their potential both academically and socially. Factors which influence Communication In order to motivate the students it is essential that the teacher has the necessary skills. Communication is of immense importance in relation to teaching skills. When communication...

...symbols that they accept, generally without thinking about them, and that are passed along by communication and imitation from one generation to the next”. (Sunniva Heggertveit, 2012). Or It is also defined as, “the values, attitudes, and ways of doing things a person learns during the socialization process in the particular place where they were brought up as a child”. (Paul Ecoggins, 2015) So, the culture has great influence on a particular individual or group behavior. In the age of globalization the world is getting smaller, companies have setup their offices around the world and people also have moved abroad as well. As a result of this, workplace is becoming increasingly cross-culturally integrated. So, the understanding and expertise in cross-cultural communication have become more crucial for executives, business leaders, workplace managers, and standard employees. If they don’t have expertise to understand the difference of the cultures then it would become very difficult for the managers to properly manage the employees and get maximum output from their performances, as the level of communication between them would be very poor because of lesser expertise regarding different cultures. After critically the articles related to the topics I think as an HR practitioner, we need to look at the factors that impact cross-cultural communication. According to experts these factors include; cultural identity, racial identity, individual personality, age identity, roles identity...

Reed *, Linda V. Knight 1 Department of Management Information Systems, College of Business, East Carolina University, United States College of Computing and Digital Media, DePaul University, United States Received 25 March 2009; received in revised form 13 July 2009; accepted 4 August 2009 Abstract Over 150 Information Technology practitioners participated in a study of differences in communication risk between traditional project teams and those that operate virtually, with some team members physically remote. Contrary to prior research, results indicate the level of risk from inadequate communication is not significantly greater when team members are not grouped in one location. Further, despite increased dependence of virtual teams on technology for communication, there was no evidence of significantly more project risk due to technological failure. However, virtual team projects exhibited notably more risk due to insufficient knowledge transfer. A plausible explanation is decreased implicit or informal knowledge transfer in virtual environments. We conclude that the possibility of insufficient knowledge transfer should be included in virtual project risk management plans, and consideration should be given in such projects to the extent to which...

...There are many ways communication takes place. Health care communication is one particular type of communication. It is a narrowed to deal with how we deal with health care related issues. Any time communication is based on health care issues it’s considered health communication. Healthcare communication allows health care professionals to be able to communicate in a effective way. Communication is how we learn, teach, and express. The US department of health and human services states that “health communication is the study and use of communication strategies to inform and influence individual and community decisions that affect health ("Health Communication", 2012).” Personal health care communication with other health professionals, clients, and patients is imperative because proper healthcare depends on it. Healthcare professionals must communicate properly with each other in order to understand the needs of the patient. Healthcare is dependent on team work therefore the team must communicate the necessary information effectively. Healthcare providers must communicate personal healthcare information with their patients. This is the only effective way to help patients understand what is happening concerning their health. Healthcare providers need to be sure they communicate at a level the patient can understand. They need to also be aware of things that effect the patients communication such as language, or education barriers. Heath communication must not be affected...
