Material Concept

Preparation of oral presentation is one of the materials in the Indonesian language course. This material is a speaking skill material. This material helps students prepare for public speaking, such as providing health education to the public. The purpose of this study was to describe the preparation of experience-based oral presentation preparation materials.This research method uses qualitative research methods with data sources in the form of a book by Gorys Keraf entitled composition published by Nusa Indah and a book by Trianto entitled Designing an innovative-progressive learning model published by Kencana Prenada Media Group. The data in this study are the words, sentences or paragraphs in the two books. The data collection technique used by researchers was document study by collecting documents related to the preparation of materials and materials for oral presentation preparation. Meanwhile, for data analysis techniques, what the researchers did were: (1) data reduction. (2) displaying data by compiling relevant data, (3) drawing conclusions to get a meaning that scattered symptoms have deep meaning. The results of this study indicate that the preparation of oral presentation preparation materials using experience-based media produces a material concept map which in its presentation can be given examples through experience-based media. The existence of making a concept map for the preparation of oral presentation material makes the flow of oral presentation preparation clear and easy to understand, that in preparation for oral presentation there are three main components that must be done, namely 1) examining the problem where this point includes determining the intent, analyzing the listener and the situation, and selecting and narrowing the topic, 2) compiling a description. This point includes gathering material, drawing up a description outline, and describing it in detail, and 3) conducting an exercise. Powerful words are the key words at this point, that the speaker's knowledge of the topic and the needs of the listener, being able to position himself to be closer to the listener, speaking according to facts and speaking honestly, and having the same line of thought as the listener are components that must be mastered by the speaker. , so that the material conveyed to listeners really hits and impresses.

In this case study, undergraduate students presented physics concepts to patrons at a planetarium. This created an early opportunity for these pre-professionals to practice the process skill of oral communication to a lay audience. The case study resulted from working with students participating in a grant called the da Vinci project. It reports on a situated experience pre-engineering and calculus-based physics students had working with their professor to create a brochure and present a physics concept to patrons visiting a public planetarium. Working closely with their professor, students were able to use this required professional skill in a real world (situated) context. This opportunity helped bridge the gap between these pre-professionals’ experiences in training and in their careers in STEM fields. Thirty students attending a two-year college in the Southwestern US self-selected to participate in the project. Each student participant built a kit-based model of a machine, designed an informational flyer aligned to state K-12 physical science standards, and presented informally to the public visiting a planetarium. Data were collected from the students via written reflections before and after the presentation and from email correspondence with their professor. Qualitative analyses of these reflections assessed the students’ progress toward a finished presentation. Results suggest that obstacles to public speaking fluency come from the fear of making mistakes or giving out misinformation. Opportunities to engage in informal public speaking helped overcome these obstacles. Students demonstrated increased confidence in their ability to share their knowledge with the public after undergoing guided informal speaking practice. The opportunity for students to practice public speaking during their undergraduate training can increase confidence and better prepare them for a career.

Natural history collections are essential for understanding the world’s biodiversity and drive research in taxonomy, systematics, ecology and biosecurity. One of the biggest challenges faced is the decline of new taxonomists and public interest in collections-based research, which is alarming considering that an estimated 70% of the world’s species are yet to be formally described. Science communication combines public relations with the dissemination of scientific knowledge and offers many benefits to promoting natural history collections to a wide audience. For example, social media has revolutionised the way collections and their staff communicate with the public in real time, and can attract more visitors to collection exhibits and new students interested in natural history. Although not everyone is born a natural science communicator, institutions can encourage and provide training for their staff to become engaging spokespeople skilled in social media and public speaking, including television, radio and/or print media. By embracing science communication, natural history collections can influence their target audiences in a positive and meaningful way, raise the profile of their institution, encourage respect for biodiversity, promote their events and research outputs, seek philanthropic donations, connect with other researchers or industry leaders, and most importantly, inspire the next generation of natural historians.

The purpose of this study was to assess the degree to which sheltered versus unsheltered contexts of introductory communication courses impact communication skill development and overall learning outcomes for international students. Specifically, this study examined the following outcome variables: public speaking anxiety, engagement, communication mindset, communication efficacy, and student performance to investigate whether it is beneficial to sheltered international students in introductory courses. Results showed that there was no significant difference between groups for the public speaking anxiety, student engagement, or overall course performance, except for the final group presentation performance. However, there was a significant interaction effect for communication mindset and communication efficacy; students in sheltered sections saw increases in these outcomes over the course of the semester, while unsheltered students experienced the opposite.
