Multimedia Presentation & Reflection

We are always confronted with complicated communication issues and challenges. It is therefore

important to understand how communication works. This helps us make sense pressing

challenges and solve them. Communication competence allows one to be a more mindful

communicator. Competent communicators have cognitive knowledge about communication.

This ability is attained through observations and instruction. One should understand the social,

and cultural contexts that affect competence and be able to adapt accordingly.

• As a student, the schools environment serves as my work place.

• Since the school community is comprised of many student and many stakeholders,

communication is a vital aspect.

• There are many instances that happen in the school environment many which require

communication competence to handle.

• Students relations are majorly shaped by verbal Interpersonal communication.

• Communication competence can help students learn effectively and appropriately handle

challenging communication situations.

Cognitive dissonance theory in resolve communication problems

• Cognitive dissonance theory is a theory of consistency and can be used to resolve

communication challenges.

• This means a class of theories that explain people's striving for freedom from

contradictions.

• Cognitions are all desires, assumptions, knowledge, memories, perceived own behavior,

and the perceived consequences in a workplace.

• If the dissonance is strong enough, combating it can permanently change attitudes and

behavior.

• This theory applies in every context where humans relate and work.

• In dissonance resolution, a distinction can be made between direct and indirect strategies.

• Direct strategies helps resolve the discrepancy between behavior and attitude responsible

for dissonance.

What I learnt from this investigation about communication in the workplace

• I understand how I can communicate both effectively and appropriately such that I will

get the desired result and not offend the other parties.

• Interpersonal communications among peer groups of the same horizontal level are always

a problem for people.

• I also learnt of the various theories of communication and learnt how I can apply them in

real life communication context.

• I learnt that some ideas about communication are based on the assumption that

communication is only possible if there is a common set of characters, the same language

and a comparable socialization of the communication participants.

• People find tensions of all kinds to be uncomfortable, combined with the need to release

this tension.

What I learnt about my communication skills and style

• I have learnt that my communication skills have developed but there is still rom for

improvement.

• When I make decision, they may not always be the best although the alternatives are also

attractive;

• With communication competence, I can relate well with my fellow students in school.

• When I become aware that something I said becomes offensive than I expected, I should

take remedy.

• I act contrary to my beliefs without any external justification (benefit/reward or

cost/punishment).

• I do not like confrontations with anyone and am a quiet student in class barely saying a

word to anyone besides my best friends.

What I learnt from this investigation about communication in the workplace

• With the knowledge I have on the cognitive dissonance theory, I can be able to

understand hoe to make my communication effective.

• I still need to improve on my interpersonal communication aspect.
