Professional communication is extremely important when having dialogue with co-workers, faculty, college student peers, and even family members. Having respectful dialogue is important as we should actively listen, consider other individual’s opinion and values, be aware of your visual cues, do not overpower others in meetings or dialogues/debates, speak the truth regarding of information, and always consider yourself in a professional setting. Considering there are a vast amount of communication models and scholarly sources published on communication, for this discussion, you will research one of the following three chosen Models of Communication: (a) linear/transmission, (b) interactive, and (c) transactional.
Please review the following examples of each communication model. Faculty use the linear (i.e., transmission) model to send information to students via announcements, pre-recorded ZOOM lectures, and other pertinent information within Canvas platform, which is designed to send information that could be important to ones success in a doctoral-level program. The interactive model of communication is based on how two consumers of information interact to develop relationships or engage their customers or in our situation, for faculty to engage students by utilizing interactive features of technology such as ZOOM. Although communication is important, this model is more about the interaction between individuals than the message. The transaction model builds dialogue between two or more individuals with the important process of feedback. An example of this model is when a faculty member reviews a student’s submission and immediately returns it with feedback. This immediate feedback is designed to help the student readily improve in future submissions and research. Please note that this type of communication is two-way as stated in the interactive model, but more direct and rapid. Faculty use this feedback process in the strategic research project.
Now that you have a background regarding these three models of communication, explain how you would professionally use one of these models (a) linear/transmission, (b) interactive, or (c) transactional in three separate settings: (a) work, (b) college courses, and (c) personal. All paragraphs must have at least 5 to 6 academic sentences. No generative artificial intelligence is allowed.
