HELICAL MODEL

OF
COMMUNICATION
Based on the illustration
given, what do you think
is the main concept of
Helical Model of
Communication?
Dance’s model emphasized the
difficulty of communication.
Frank Dance uses the form of a Helix
to describe the communication
process. He developed this theory
based on a simple helix which
gets bigger and bigger as it
moves or grows. The main
characteristics of a helical model of
communication is that it is
evolutionary.
Frank Dance explains the
communication process based
on this Helix structure and
compares it with
communication. In the Helix
structure, the bottom or
starting is very small then
it gradually moves upward
in a back and forth circular
motion which forms the
bigger circle in the top and
it is still moves further.
The whole process takes some time to
reach. As like helix, the communication
process starts very slowly and defined
small circle only. The communicators
shared information only with a small
portion of themselves to their
relationships..
Its gradually develops into next
level but which will take some time
to reach and expanding its
boundaries to the next level. Later
the communicators commit more
and shared more portions by
themselves
To illustrate, when a child is born the only
means of communication for him is crying,
he cries for everything like hunger, pain,
cold etc.. As the child grows the means of
communication become wider and broader.
He learns to make noises then he learns a
language to obtain attention and to fulfil his
needs. As a Helix, the process of
communication, in this case, started as
crying and later it developed into a complex
and compound means.
The Helical model of communication is
largely dependent on its past. A child learns
to pronounce a word in his elementary
classes and throughout his life he uses that
word in the same way he learnt. Just like
that, we used to react to certain things in a
certain way in our childhood and such
reactions and habits lasts with us forever.
The communication evolves in the
beginning in some simple forms then the
same process of communication functions
and develops based on past activities.
Thus, his way of communication or his
reactions may also be different from the
past behavior and experiences. It
develops further with modifications
according to the situations.
Therefore, the model concludes that
the process of communication is like a
continuous curve with some changes or
flexibility. The base of the helical curve
(lower level) can be affected and/or
altered at any time accordingly the
experience of an individual.
Frank Dance included the concept of time
in his theory. The lifetime experience
gained over the issue will always be based
on the similar event/incident happened in
the past according to him. This theory of
communication was subject to a number of
experimental researches. Even though this
model of communication clarifies
everything there is a problem of
oversimplification. According to this theory,
a communication process is the product
of what we learnt.
