COMMUNICATION FOR TEACHING- A DIFFERENT TYPE OF COMMUNICATION
• TO COMMUNICATION BETWEEN TWO ENTITIES AT THE SAME LEVEL IS DIFFERENT FROM COMMUNICATION FOR TEACHING
• IN TEACHING THERE ARE TWO DISTINCT LEVELS.
• IT IS ASSUMED THAT
• THE TEACHER IS AT A HIGHER LEVEL OF A GIVER.
• THE STUDENT IS AT A LOWER LEVEL OF TAKER
• AS IF ALL DEVELOPMENT IN THE TEACHER HAS TAKEN PLACE AND THERE IS NO MORE TO GO
• AS IF THE STUDENT CAN BE JUST AS MUCH AS THE TEACHER AS BEEN AND CAN NOT GO ANY FURTHER
Verbal and non-verbal Communication
• Non-verbal communication
1. Visual communication – Look the part
2. Chemical communication – Physical milieu
3. Tactile communication – Hands-on
• Verbal communication – Oral + Written• Only man is capable of sentence formation
• Choosing the right word, sequence & punctuation
• Paraverbal: Tone, speed, volume, pitch etc.
Excellence in Language and terminology: Practice to be perfect
Reading Listening
Speaking Writing
Do not speak unless you know your subject
Speak only on subjects of expertise
Refresh your knowledge frequently
Disseminate and create knowledge
Organisation of building blocks
Motivation
Relevance
Coherence
Simplicity
From complex to simple
• Simplify the subject by deconstructing the principles in to small real life experiences.
• You make a complex sentence where a simple one can do, only if you are chasing some kind of complex – either you have a superiority complex or you want the listener / reader to be inflicted with an inferiority complex. None of this amounts to healthy and effective communication, certainly not in teaching.
Teaching: Dialogue or Monologue?
Dialogue
• Learn from each other
• Learning is a social process
• Healthy competition
• Stimulus for good behaviour by presence of each other
• Teacher a good listener
• Moderate a discussion
• Teacher also learns
Monologue
• Learn only from teacher
• Learning is a selfish act
• Insular visions
• Isolation from the presence of the group
• Teacher just a speaker
• Cull discussions
• Teacher only teaches
Teaching with technology
Effective use of power point presentations
• Don’t sit back and play a video instead of teaching
• Never pack in too many slides
• Don’t write too much on a single slide
• Never read from a slide while presenting
• Include figures and illustrations if possible
• Don’t pack similar types of slides in sequence• A bulleted list may be followed by a picture followed by a table followed by an organ
gram followed by a graph
