Decode

Examples of Decode in the following topics:

• Challenges of Reciprocal Teaching

  • Another drawback to reciprocal teaching is that although students make impressive gains in their reading comprehension abilities, the process is not as effective for students with decoding difficulties (Hashey, et al, 2003).
  • Students who are not able to decode or break words down into phonemes and then blend them enough to recognize and say most of the words in the reading passages correctly, could feel uncomfortable or embarrassed when working in the peer group time involved in this instructional method.
  • This strategy has helped students with poor decoding skills participate in reciprocal teaching activities, which allows them to make gains in their metacognitive and comprehension skills (Le Fevre, et al, 2003).

• Visuals

  • This image demonstrates the way in which we code and decode messages we send to one another.
  • Simplifying communication with imagery can often bypass much of the coding and decoding that slows us down.
  • This is an excellent example of how a diagram can help us avoid complex coding and decoding of words, and instead paint a clear image of functionality directly from a visual aid.

• Speaker

  • Your message's recipient, the audience, will have to decode your message.
  • When you are able to successfully communicate your message, that is, when the audience can decode your message, then you have become a successful communicator.

• What to Do with Your Knowledge

  • The audience members then attempt to decode what the speaker is saying so that they can understand it.
  • To better imagine this process, consider the example of encoding and decoding as it applies to the idea of a tree.
  • I use the word tree to encode my idea, and because my audience has experienced similar trees, they decode the word tree in the way that I intended .
  • Unfortunately, when my audience decodes my word now, they are still thinking about the oak tree and will not see my palm tree.

• Introduction

  • They can decode, or break words into sounds and blend them enough to say the words, but they just do not seem to be able to comprehend what they are reading.

• Understanding Medical Terms

  • Decoding the medical term is an important process.
  • Once experience is gained in the process of forming and decoding medical terminology, the process begins to make sense and becomes easier.

• The Central Dogma: DNA Encodes RNA and RNA Encodes Protein

  • Translation is the process by which mRNA is decoded and translated to produce a polypeptide sequence, otherwise known as a protein.
  • In translation, a cell decodes the mRNA's genetic message and assembles the brand-new polypeptide chain.

• Specific Learning Disorder

  • A reading disability can affect any part of the reading process, including word recognition, word decoding, reading speed, prosody (oral reading with expression), and reading comprehension.

• Noise as a Barrier to Communication

  • This "decodes" (i.e., reconstructs) the message from the received signals.
