Abstract

ABSTRACT The results of this study argue that communication, and specifically oral communication education, is critical to students’ future personal and professional success. Similar to three earlier studies, thematic analysis of 2,155 articles, identified in academic and popular press publications extending from 2016 to 2020, provides support for the centrality of the communication discipline’s content and pedagogy. These results reinforce the importance of communication to promoting health communication; growing individually and in relation to others; enriching the educational enterprise; enhancing organizational processes; being a responsible community member locally, nationally, internationally, and globally; and addressing crises, safety, risk, security, and science communication. Subthemes are identified in each of these six thematic categories, and the results are compared with those of the three earlier iterations of this study and in light of major shifts in the sociopolitical and cultural environment in the U.S. and the globe since the last iteration.

沟通的重要性、意义和相关性:对学科内容和教学法的批判性的第四项研究

摘要本研究的结果表明，交际，特别是口语交际教育，对学生未来的个人和职业成功至关重要。与之前的三项研究类似，对2016年至2020年期间学术和大众新闻出版物中的2155篇文章进行了专题分析，为传播学科的内容和教学法的中心地位提供了支持。这些结果强化了传播对促进健康传播的重要性;成长的:在个体和与他人的关系中成长;充实教育事业;加强组织流程;在本地、全国、国际和全球范围内成为负责任的社区成员;解决危机、安全、风险、安保和科学传播问题。在这六个主题类别中，每一个都确定了子主题，并将结果与本研究的前三次迭代进行比较，并考虑到自上次迭代以来美国和全球社会政治和文化环境的重大变化。
