| Abstract | Artificial criteria included in speech evaluation forms in the basic communication classroom to assess students' communication competencies fail to reflect what is known about communication as a transaction and about communication competence. Communication competence is most commonly defined from the action perspective which focuses on the performance of specific communication skills. The reaction approach focuses on the perceptions of the listener who makes the ultimate judgment of competence. Whether viewed as a property of the speaker or a characteristic of the listener, the action and reaction approaches lead to inappropriate and/or incomplete criteria for evaluating competence. The transactional approach, however, changes the focus to the creation of shared meaning. If communication is transactional, then communication competence is also mutually created. S. Morreale's "Competent Speaker Speech Evaluation Form" is an assessment instrument designed to evaluate/rate observable public speaking skills/behaviors of college students and consists of eight competencies. Criticisms of the evaluation form include: the discriminations needed to determine the levels of competence are not clearly defined; the competencies are based on generalizations from the teacher's point of view to the audience as a whole; and the competencies are culturally narrow. Communication teachers should not proclaim a student competent or incompetent based on a few weeks of lessons and a limited number of performances in an artificial environment.
