External Noise: The class next door is being loud.
Today's Lesson: The Communication Process
Does everyone understand what we learned today?
Internal Noise: The student isn't paying attention.
This class is so boring...wait what did the teacher just say?
Are we supposed to ask questions?
Could you please go over the elements of communication?
The sender is the teacher, and the message is sent over a face-to-face channel. She is encoding the fact that she wants students to ask any questions they may have. The outdoor noise from the classroom next door is a communication barrier.
Today's Lesson: The Communication Process
The elements of communication are 1. Sender2. Message 3. Channel4. Medium5. Receiver 6. Feedback
Next I have an important announcement.
The receivers are the students. One student is decoding the message, while another is experiencing internal noise as a result of his lack of attention and failure to hear the question.
I should listen since she said it's important.
The student gives feedback by responding to the question.
Today's Lesson: Photosynthesis
Coming up soon you will have a test over everything we've learned so far this year. This test isn't difficult, but you will need to study if you want to get a good grade. It will count for 50% of your grade so it is very important.
Does everyone understand?
The teacher answers to the student's query and sends a new message. Everyone should listen, she encodes.
The student decodes that she should listen and pay attention to what the teacher is saying.
The teacher demonstrates ethical responsibility by conveying honest information about the test, informing the students in advance, and telling them that they need to prepare for the test.
