Explanation : The following modes of communication
can be employed in the classroom:
• Top-down (issuing instructions and
information in a hierarchical structure)
when the teacher transacts a lesson using a
teacher-centred method such as lecturing
• Iconic (based on images rather than text)
• Abstract (through stories, metaphors,
allegories, and examples, with emphasis on
the specific rather than the general)
While dissociational communication
would cause a disconnect between the
teacher and the taught, associational would
create association with some and distance
others. Symbolic communication would
compromise clarity and understanding.
