Module 6 Summary

Communication and Evaluation in Planning

Lesson 1: Communication in Education in Educational Planning

Part 1- General Principles

Concepts and ideas oftentimes fail and many plans are not carried but because they do not
reach people who are supposed to implement them in the form they should be transmitted.
”Communication is a dynamic process by which someone who has a purpose to accomplish tries to get
someone else to do something for the achievement of that purpose.

Communication is defined as the act of imparting or transmitting facts or in formation,


interchanges of thoughts, ideas and opinions. It is an art that deals with expressing and exchanging ideas
effectively through speech, graphic or dramatic arts and is taught as an integrated program at various
levels of education. Communication is a close or intimate rapport in exchanging thoughts and meaning,
sometimes intellectual and often affective, arousing common understanding or other reaction between
communicator and interpreter.

Communication form the cohesive bond among organization members and as such, they
provide an energizing function in an organization. Daily through the mail, telephone calls, interview and
meetings, he manage/administrator receives all kinds of communication which have arisen from a
purpose which someone feels is important to be accomplish. When the administrator/manager plans
and organizes his action and make decisions, he interprets the communications he receives, based on
the objectives he has to attain for the organization. Communication and decision making are
inseparable, pervading all aspects of management process. This make the study of communication in
Educational Planning extremely important.

Educational Planning involves a large group of people; plans are formulated and implemented
by them. The educational planner must put serious important on communication with people
throughout the planning process, asking such question as follows:

What message should be transmitted?

What are to be reached by the message?

Why should the message be transmitted?

How can be message be transmitte?

When should the message be transmitted?

A. For purpose of this discussion the planning process will be divided into three stages.
Plan Formulation
Plan Implementation
Plan Evaluation
1. Communication at Plan Formulation Stage

One of the most effective ways of getting the plain well implemented is to generate
understanding and acceptance of its goals and targets by all concerned. Among these are
politicians, educational administrator, teachers, students and their parents and the general
public.

To communicate with these groups of people for his purpose, a broad policy document
is released for comments by the general public. Such document may be labeled as the first draft
of the plan or approach paper. This paper should not specify the place or agency that will be
benefited by the planned activities. Instead, it should give the criteria as basis od decisions
regarding the place, agency, person and time of implementation.

2. Communication at the Plan Implementation Stage


The purpose of communication at this stage are to get receiver
-to “act” or make decisions, to manage a particular organization, to use funds in a
certain manner
-To give feedback on progress or failure of activities at this stage
-To be affective, communications must have the following qualities.

3. Communication at Plan Evaluation Stage

To diagnose the status of plan, evaluation and implementation should simultaneously


be undertaken. This enables necessary and timely remedial action to be taken.

B.Some General Rules on Communication

1. Personal of impersonal communication should refer both to action and rationale.


2. To achieve goals, points of appeal in communication vary among different groups of people.
3. When message are complex the complex, the conference type of communication process is
effective.

unfavorable to the views of decision makers.
