Classroom presentations

Effective preparation is crucial to bringing a successful academic classroom presentation.
It allows you to communicate your ideas confidently. Examples of academic presentations
are classroom presentations and research proposal or research report presentation.
Classroom presentation is a method of delivering the content to students within an
educational setting. A teacher or student can do it. Classroom presentation aims to share
knowledge, foster understanding and facilitate learning about a topic.

Forms of classroom presentations

Classroom presentations by students include presentations, demonstrations and group
discussions. They may use various illustrations such as slides, charts, videos, or cartoons
to enhance information transfer and audience engagement.

Aims of classroom presentations
(a) Sharing research or projects

Students may give presentations to share their research and project proposals and
findings or creative work within the class. This allows them to develop communication
skills and showcase their learning achievements.
(b) Promote and support students’ engagement in learning

Interactive elements within presentations, such as discussions or question-and-answer
sessions, encourage students’ active participation in the learning. Presentations can
reinforce students’ understanding of the covered materials, and they can serve the
materials to revise important theories.
(c) Developing communication skills
When sharing research and project findings, students get an opportunity to develop
the skills for communicating openly. They learn to give out their ideas, structure
information, and deliver the message effectively to the audience.
