MODULE 1 AND TOPIC 2: TYPES OF COMMUNICATION

LEARNING ACTIVITIES

Task 1: Comprehensive Questions: Instruction: Check your understanding of the input by

answering the following questions:

1. How do you differentiate the types of communication in relation to communication

mode?
ANS: There are three integral elements of communication, i.e. Sender, Message and
Receiver. A mode is the means of communicating, i.e. the medium through which
communication is processed. There are three modes of communication: Interpretive
Communication, Interpersonal Communication and Presentational Communication.
2. How can visual communication enhance the message conveyed by a speaker?
Cite a particular situation when it is best to employ visual communication?
ANS: Allows your audience to look at a problem in a new way — When trying to
convey complex information, a visual will often help your audience to grasp the
concept much quicker than words and text. This way you can ensure a high level of
comprehension so you can get immediate feedback.
3. What are the types of communication in relation to the context? How do they differ
from one another?
ANS: The second major context within the field of communication is interpersonal
communication. Interpersonal communication normally involves two people, and can
range from intimate and very personal to formal and impersonal. Both scenarios
involve interpersonal communication, but are different in levels of intimacy.
4. How can you listen to speakers’ opinion through electronic media without being
easily swayed into accepting their opinions?
ANS: Because I never assume the first, middle, or last, thing I hear from any speaker
or writer is an objective recitation of fact. Writers and speakers are human and fallible
in their worldviews—we all carry biases and prejudices and points of view crafted by
our life experiences. One person telling me some version of an event, or expressing
some opinion of someone’s actions, or offering advice based on his or her
experiences, reading, environment, upbringing is revealing their unique outlook on life.
They may well believe what they are saying or writing, they may even have solid facts
to back up their comments; but they are, in the end, just one voice, one point of view,
one word among millions.
5. Of the four approaches employed in formal organization structure, which do you
think is the best? Cite a situation which will call for the use of each approach. Give
one advantage and disadvantage of each.
ANS: If there is no purpose statement, participants will have one purpose in their own
minds which maybe different or even contrary to the leaders understanding. These
differences may set up contrary goals or even conflicts. Propose uniformity is key.
 6. Would you know any strategy or method by which you can reduce the complexity
of understanding another culture? Do you think it will work with your current set of
foreign classmates/ friends?
ANS: Observe. Simply observe what kind of constructs are commonly used in their
interactions. Observation is the best strategy to understand the foreign environment.
Your unconscious mind is very skilful in that since the faculty of observation is innate of
us. Don’t be overwhelmed by foreign culture as perceiving it as complex. there is no
complex culture that man cannot be adapted. I suspect your ego is hampering you
from learning foreign culture. if so kick out your ego. he will the worst ally in this
endeavour.
7. How do you differentiate formal communication from informal communication in
relation to purpose and style? Provide situations to illustrate the differences.
ANS: Formal communication utilizes formal language and is used when you are having
a conversation with someone in a formal situation, informal communication, on the
other hand, are often used when you are communicating only with your friends or your
family, this type of communication often utilize slang terminologies.

Task 2: ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE. Instruction. Interview a certain head of an

organization/ company and ask him/ her the following questions.

1. What is the culture of the organization?

Organizational culture is the collection of beliefs, values and methods of interaction
that create the environment of an organization. The organizational culture
encompasses the foundational values of a company or business.

2. Do you think cultures can be created? Modified? Changed?

Culture is made up of costumes, attitude, and beliefs that are unique each group of
people. Culture can also change in certain situations.Cultural change can also
diffusion's when contract with other cultures and ideas can transferred.

3. In the school where you are currently enrolled, what is the prevailing organizational
culture? What are some of the practices/ rituals that you deserve?
"Building a strong sense of community in schools is both important and doable," says
Eric Schaps. And as Thomas Sergiovanni writes in Building Community in Schools, "In
communities, we become connected for reason of commitment rather than
compliance" (p.58). Sergiovanni believes the connectedness is motivated by our
essential human need "for a sense of belonging, of being connected to others."

OK, great. So how do we, as educational leaders, get that buy-in, that commitment to
create a strong sense of community within our district, school, or classroom? This post
will illustrate the connection between culture, climate, and community, and will provide
examples of ways that school and classroom leaders have built a sense of community
through the use of routines.
TASK 4. Mission, Vision and Values. Instruction. Presume that you are going to put your own
organization. Decide on the nature and the objective/s of the organization you wish to establish.
Draft your vision and mission statements but access first the website below and view it so you
will be properly guided:

Mission, Vision, & Values: The Foundation of Every Great Company

Ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CIVQLJ13kc

After viewing the clip, you are now ready to draft your own mission-vision statements.
Remember that a mission statement is a statement communicating the purpose of the
organization. It states the following points:

1. What the organization does for its clients?

ANS: Organizations are responsible to clients. They should provide a clean, safe working
environment. Organizations can build employees' self-worth through empowerment
programs. Businesses also have a responsibility to customers to provide good, safe
products and services.

Successful employees meet deadlines, make sales and build the brand via positive
customer interactions. When employees do not perform effectively, consumers feel that the
company is apathetic to their needs, and will seek help elsewhere. Employees who perform
effectively get things done properly the first time.

Respect, trust, positive social interaction, opportunities to contribute, and purposeful work
are all part of a solid foundation for employees expect employers to provide in their
workplaces. It's a great place to build from, and to build truly magnificent culture.

2. What the organization does for its employees?

ANS: The first and the foremost responsibility of an organization towards its employees is
to ensure that they are happy and satisfied with their jobs. It is unethical to treat employees
as mere machines and expect them to work continuously for eight to nine hours at a stretch
just because they are being paid. Do not treat your staff as labours.

3. What the organization does for the owner/s?

ANS: Being the owner of an organization means you have full rights to manage every
aspect of the organization, including billing and changing your organization’s subscription
plan. This role is meant for people who need full control of the organization and its
finances.

4. What the organization does for the community?

ANS: Community organization or Community Based Organization refers to organization
aimed at making desired improvements to a community's social health, well-being, and
overall functioning. Community organization occurs in geographically, psychosocially,
culturally, spiritually, and digitally bounded communities.

5. What the organization does for the world?

ANS: Creating a shared mindset among your team is important to
 foster a common identity and understanding, especially for diverse teams from different
geographic areas.

The foundation of every great team is a direction that energizes, orients, and engages its
members. Teams cannot be inspired if they don’t know what they’re working toward and
don’t have explicit goals. Additionally, high-performing teams include members with a
balance of skills.

According to Martine Haas and Mark Mortensen, every individual doesn’t have to possess
excellent technical and social skills, but the team overall needs a healthy dose of both.

This will allow the team to sing from the same hymn book while keeping everyone inspired
and motivated to achieve their goals and objectives.

On the other hand, remember too that a vision statement states an aspiration and focuses on
something that you want to be in the future. It states the high-level goals of the organization
which coincide with the owner’s/founder’s objectives.

A mission statement communicates the organization’s reason for being, and how it aims to
serve its key stakeholders. Customers, employees, and investors are the stakeholders most
often emphasized, but other stakeholders like government or communities (i.e., in the form of
social or environmental impact) can also be discussed. Mission statements are often longer
than vision statements. Sometimes mission statements also include a summation of the firm’s
values. Values are the beliefs of an individual or group, and in this case the organization, in
which they are emotionally invested. III. Now that you have your own mission-vision
statements, identify at least (3) powerful core values that will serve as the organization’s
guiding principles. Explain what each means and why you have chosen them. Remember that
these core values should help you fulfil your business goals which should also be imbibed by
your employees.

1. Integrity And Ethics: Simply put, the two principles of integrity and ethics translate into doing
the right thing, in an honest, fair, and responsible way. Building your entire business on the
foundation of honesty and integrity goes a long way toward building a strong, trusting
relationship with your employees, stakeholders, and customers.

Truthful conduct on everyone's part can create a strong, credible reputation for the company in
the market, which is beneficial for everyone's interests.

2. Respect: Without dedicated employees, a company is nothing. Period.Committed employees

form the backbone of the entire corporation. They work together with the system in order to
achieve growth and profitability. A company has a responsibility toward its employees and, if
one of its core principles is showing the utmost respect to its employees, it's likely management
will have a low employee turnover rate.

Respecting all employees means respecting their individual human rights and privacy, and
eliminating all kinds and forms of discrimination, whether based on religion, belief, race,
ethnicity, nationality, gender, or physical disability. Moreover, ensuring a safe and healthy work
environment for all employees is an important part of giving respect to them.

Many organizations across the globe adopt an attitude whereby the entire company interacts
together like a close-knit family. Such an atmosphere helps boost the confidence of employees
and makes them feel like an important, even indispensable, part of the organization. This
inspires feelings of commitment and a drive to do even better.

3. Innovation (Not Imitation): Companies that focus on being ahead of their competitors and
introducing new ideas in the marketplace follow the principle of "innovation, not imitation." This
is crucial if a company wants to be a trendsetter and introduce new products that consumers
appreciate.

Employees in such companies are encouraged to be dynamic and come up with innovative
ideas that can translate into successful products for the company. Constantly imitating others
won't take the business far.

ASSIGNMENTS: Instructions: Recall the first time you engaged in a public oral presentation.
What were the different factors that you considered at that time? Relate how challenging it was
for you especially when viewed by different kinds of audiences. Write your experiences in a
sheet a paper and be ready to share this to your classmates in the following day.

My Personal Experience on Public Oral Presentation

Narrative

I started speaking, looking towards everyone. Ans as I said, we were in the main part
of the city, there will be obviously many local people, other than school students and
teachers.

I completed delivering my speech and a huge round of applause and shots and
slogans started.
