Dance's Helical Model of Communication|Myrrh Daphne Genson

Summary

In this video, Daphne Sabala explores the Helical Model of Communication proposed by Frank Dance in 1967. The model, inspired by the helix, emphasizes the dynamic and evolving nature of communication from birth to the present moment. Unlike traditional models, Dance's abstract approach highlights the complexity of communication, using the helix to illustrate its growth and development throughout an individual's life.

Takeaways

• 📚 The Dentis Helical Model of communication was proposed by Frank Dent in 1967.
• 🌀 The term 'helico' is derived from 'helix', symbolizing a three-dimensional shape that coils around a cylinder or cone.
• 👶 Communication begins from the first day of an individual's life, as illustrated by a child crying to communicate needs.
• 🎓 As children grow and enter school, their means of communication expand to include words, interactions with parents, teachers, and peers.
• 🌱 The model suggests that communication evolves continuously from birth and continues throughout an individual's life.
• 🌐 Unlike earlier models, the Helical Model does not have any literal features or elements, making it an abstract representation of communication.
• 🔁 The helix in the model represents the dynamic and ever-changing nature of human communication.
• 🤔 The model emphasizes the complexity and challenges of communication, suggesting that it is not a static process.
• 📈 Frank Dent used the helix to describe how communication grows and expands, much like the way a helix becomes larger as it ascends.
• 🔄 The Helical Model of communication reflects the ongoing and iterative process of communication that adapts and develops over time.

Q & A

Who proposed the dental model of communication?

Frank Dens proposed the dental model of communication.

What is the origin of the name 'Dental Helical Model'?

The name 'Dental Helical Model' comes from 'helix', which refers to an object having a three-dimensional shape like that of a wire uniformly wound around a cylinder or a cone.

What does the helix in the Dental Helical Model symbolize?

The helix in the Dental Helical Model symbolizes the dynamics of human communication.

How does the Dental Helical Model describe the communication process from birth?

According to the Dental Helical Model, the process of communication evolves from the very birth of an individual and continues throughout their life.

What is unique about the Dental Helical Model in comparison to earlier models?

Unlike earlier models, the Dental Helical Model doesn't have any literal features or elements, making it an abstract model.

How does the Dental Helical Model emphasize the difficulty of communication?

The Dental Helical Model emphasizes the difficulty of communication by using the form of a helix to describe the communication process, which gets bigger and more complex as it moves or grows.

What is the significance of the child crying in the context of the Dental Helical Model?

In the Dental Helical Model, a child crying signifies the beginning of communication, expressing needs or seeking attention from parents.

How does the model explain the evolution of communication as a child grows and starts school?

The model explains that as a child grows and starts school, their means of communication widens, interacting with parents, teachers, and friends in the form of words.

What does the Dental Helical Model suggest about the communication of all living entities?

The Dental Helical Model suggests that all living entities start communicating from the very first day of their origin.

How does the Dental Helical Model illustrate the continuous nature of communication?

The Dental Helical Model illustrates the continuous nature of communication by showing the helix as it grows and expands, representing ongoing communication throughout an individual's life.

What is the basis for Frank Dens' development of the Dental Helical Model?

Frank Dens developed the Dental Helical Model based on a simple helix, which metaphorically grows and becomes more complex, much like the communication process.
