transmission theory

Transmission theory refers to the way information, culture, or knowledge is passed from one person or group to another. In this context, it emphasizes the straightforward transfer of ideas, values, and customs, much like sending a message. For example, education often uses transmission theory by teaching facts and skills directly from teachers to students. Critics argue that this model can overlook the importance of interactive learning and the role of the receiver in shaping understanding, highlighting the need for dialogue and engagement in the learning process.
