Communication Theory And The Construction Of Meaning : A Constructive Developmental Approach, Merri Lee Fraser

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In recent years the field of communication has been experiencing a movement toward newer non-tradtional approaches to the study of communication and information. Among these newer approaches is a growing body of research that focuses on interpretive behavior in the communication process.

Brenda Dervin's Sense-Making model of communication/information has been the most widely used interpretive theory of information to date. Sense-Making focuses primarily upon the role of the receiver in the communication process and how individuals construct meaning in specific situations. As a result, Sense-Making has not attended adequately to larger shared frameworks of meaning and the effects that they …

The Speech Professional In An English Department, Bernard K. Duffy

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the placement of speech programs within English departments and evaluates the historical, structural, and professional implications of that arrangement. It traces the shared origins of oratory and philology that produced broad English units and explains why some institutions continue to house speech alongside literature, composition, journalism, theatre, and film. The analysis identifies liabilities that arise from disciplinary misunderstanding, staffing of basic public speaking by non specialists, and tenure and promotion reviews that apply criteria from two fields at once. It also notes potential strengths, including exposure to diverse scholarly perspectives and wider publication outlets beyond speech journals. …

Speech And Mass Communication: Together Again, E. Culpepper Clark

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay examines the historical development and administrative philosophy behind the integration of speech and mass communication programs at the University of Alabama, Birmingham. It situates the merger within broader debates over the relationship between professional and liberal arts education, arguing that the disciplines share enough theoretical and pedagogical ground to justify collaboration at the undergraduate level. Through a detailed account of departmental structure, curriculum, faculty composition, and tenure policy, the essay demonstrates how institutional design can balance academic and professional objectives. The author advocates for a liberal arts orientation rooted in rhetoric, hermeneutics, and language-based theory, even within career-oriented …

Two Cheers For Pornography, Steven Sanders

Bridgewater Review

The existence of pornography from the earliest times and in virtually every culture attests to a remarkable universality and persistence. Of course, popularity is no proof of legitimacy. How, if at all, can pornography be justified? This question has no easy answer. Indeed, if one may judge from the controversy, consensus is far from being reached on the question of pornography. I shall suggest some things that can be said in favor of pornography, though I am by no means giving my unqualified endorsement - hence, only two cheers for pornography. Naturally, I expect some readers to disagree with me, …

Integrity In The Communication Curriculum, Stanley F. Paulson

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This address argues that recent national reports on undergraduate education have identified fundamental weaknesses in collegiate learning, shifting emphasis from curricular inputs to measurable student outcomes. Drawing on documents from the National Institute of Education and the Association of American Colleges, the discussion highlights concerns about declining student engagement in the arts and sciences, fragmentation of general education, and the absence of coherent rationales guiding undergraduate study. These reports call for institutions to demonstrate improvement in students’ analytical abilities, communication skills, ethical reasoning, and disciplinary depth across the curriculum rather than rely on proxies such as faculty credentials or course …

Communication Apprehension And Hispanics: An Exploration Of Communication Apprehension Among Mexican Americans, Ronald L. Applbaum, Susan Applbaum, Robert T. Trotter

Communication Faculty Publications

The study was designed to measure the Communication Apprehension (CA) of Mexican American high school students and compare that data with the results of previous research. The results indicated that (1) Mexican American students have a significantly higher percentage of high CAs than Anglo high school students,(2) the high CA levels occur when either Spanish or English is spoken, and (3) perceived speech proficiency was positively, significantly related to CA measures.

Curriculum Implications Of The New Technologies, Frederick Williams

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the curricular implications of emerging communication technologies, emphasizing that the central concern within the communication discipline remains the study of human use and social impacts of technological systems rather than their mechanical features. It argues that new media function primarily as extensions of existing forms, particularly as telecommunications and computing converge, enabling greater informational access, individualized communication, and distributed decision making. Rather than creating entirely new courses, the article proposes revising current communication curricula to reflect changes in media environments. Key areas for integration include the shift from mass communication to demassification through narrowcasting and text services, …

Developing An Anglo-American Communication Program, Terence Jackson

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay analyzes the development of an American style communication program within a British educational context. It begins by describing the structure of further and higher education in England and Wales and explains how traditions of vocational training and liberal education intersect within these systems. The discussion outlines the limited presence of communication as an academic field in Britain, noting that research in interpersonal, organizational, and mass communication exists but remains dispersed across sociology, psychology, and management. The essay then examines the challenges of creating a comprehensive communication curriculum at Warnborough College, including the scarcity of disciplinary resources, limited availability …
