What are the key elements of the communication process?
Answers
The key elements of communication process are:-
1. Source:The source is the person (or thing) attempting to share information.
2. Message: the message is simply the information you want to communicate.
3. Encoding:encoding is the process of assembling the message (information, ideas and thoughts) into a representative design with the objective of ensuring that the receiver can comprehend it.
4. Channel:An encoded message is conveyed by the source through a channel. There are numerous channel categories: verbal, non-verbal, personal, non-personal, etc.
5. Decoding:Now would be an appropriate time to remind yourself that you can just as easily fill the role of decoder as you can encoder. This is where listening, and reading directions carefully, makes its claim to fame—decode with care, my friends. As we discussed in Encoding, communication is only successful when it results in both the source and the receiver understanding the same information. For this to happen, there can be no errors in processing. The most common among these would be, for example, a first-grader sitting in on a lecture on differential equations, i.e. decoding is impossible if the decoder cannot even understand the message.
6. Receiver:the message is delivered to the receiver.
7. Feedback:A better word might be “reaction” or “responses.” The source judges its success based on the feedback it receives, so pay close attention
