". . . you have hyperlinked here from imitation of communication." Definiton of Skill: Skill as defined by Dr. Paul Heinberg's Morphology of Human Learning, 1972, University of Hawaii, Sp/Com Dept.Dr. Heinberg illustrates on a chart three levels of learning, Cognitive, Behavioral, and Affective. Each of these variables are measured in terms of Competence, Performance, and Skill. Most teachers know/understand (Cognitive) the communication process. They can explain it (Behavioral) and many study the subject in their free time and may even able to turn others on to the subject (Affective). They also may be able create the illusion, or have agreement amongst friends and associates, that they are effective communicators and get great student evaluations (Behavioral & Performance). However, what's missing in the education major's curriculum are communication standards for someone in the process of becoming a teacher. The true measure of whether one has learned, says Dr. Heinberg, is whether you are skilled. There must be agreement in the community, or amongst educators, that you are planning and innovating to achieve some self specified environmental change. That you are effecting, through your communication skills, a social structure consistent with your integrity and intentions. To paraphrase Werner Erhard, the founder of The Forum, there must be agreement in the community that you have demonstrated the ability to work outside of agreement, of what's accepted, and have implemented your innovations).
