Why Effective Communication in Education Matters?

Jocelyn S. Buan

Have you been understood or misunderstood?

That's the question that we sometimes pose after talking to a family member, a friend, or co-worker. This is because we sometimes talk more than we communicate. We may be talking to them regularly, but it does not follow that we have spoken to them already. Communication, or the transfer and exchange of meanings, is not mere knowledge. It means a lot of things.

Communication is the mechanism of a human being. You should be willing, as a leader, to turn or present data in a significant way. Within our view of the world and of other people we should interact. The quality of our contact is characterized by the quality of our relationship with them and dictated by them.

Communication is a complex and interpersonal relationship. Both the sender and the recipient play essential roles in the contact process. At any time, both of them have the position of speakers and listeners.

The human side of successful communication is focused on how the leader advises, advises, encourages, and incorporates.

Our population need knowledge that will direct their actions and fulfill their natural desires. As a leader, you can never believe that your people already have all the details you need. You should always verify and update your records. Your people should at least have full knowledge on the core elements of your organization.

If you give instruction effectively, you will gain yourself the credibility of a convincing leader.

People need to be motivated to take action that is individually and organizationally beneficial. They need messages that will reinforce their sense of belonging and confidence in themselves and in their organization. They should feel that they are being listened to and viewed as significant. Don't hesitate to send credit for whatever they've done in your unit.
