Introduction:
Presenting is an indispensable
handiness for exchanging a few words on research. There must be some kind of
additional value for the listeners who come to hear your presentation. Cautious
consideration of the content and the format will ensure that the listeners will
leave with a provocative message. One of the simplest techniques to stand out
at an academic discussion is to provide an incredible presentation.
Following
are a few steps to be followed for providing national and international
conferences:
1. Apply
PowerPoint Sensibly:
PowerPoint is a great tool as
long as you utilize it efficiently. It is advisable to use lots of visuals and
relatively few words. Don’t put your presentation on the slides and read them from
it.
Research proves that pictures aid
with learning and memory. You can utilize this to your advantage by finding and
making use of the pictures which aid you to compose your point. You can employ
pictures which have blank space in them and then you can insert words in them.
2.
Use
the Academic Presentation:
Once you have become proficient
at providing fabulous presentations, you can just swing over from the formula.
On the other hand, if you are new to presenting, then you need to follow the
formula. It might have a slight variation based on various fields. Say for
example in the field of sociology, the format must look like:
Introduction/
Overview
Theoretical
framework/ Research question
Methodology/
Case selection
Background/
Prose assessment
Discussion of
data/ Results
Analysis
Conclusion
3.
Let
the Audience Know About Your Research:
Usually, the familiar blunders
people do while giving international conferences is that they present the information
that is already known. This is usually because they use up nearly all of the
presentation going over the existing prose and giving background information on
the particular case. You should only discuss the prose with which you are
directly engaging and supplying. Your background information must embrace only
what is actually necessary. Say, if you are given a 15-minute presentation then
by the 6th minute you want to be discussing your case study or data.
At conferences, people are there to hear about your new and existing research
and not to hear an abstract of old work.
4.
Practice,
Practice, and Practice:
You must always rehearse for your
presentation completely before you deliver it. Here, you must ensure that your
presentation fits within the time parameters. Practising also makes it flow
better and avoid practising too many times.
5.
Maintain
Your Time Bound:
For example, if you have 10
minutes to provide a presentation, prepare ten minutes of material and not
more. Suppose if you have only seven minutes for presentation, you must
complete it within the allotted time period.
6.
Avoid
Reading Your Presentation:
In some fields, reading is the
rule. To be honest, you can’t engage yourself when listening to someone reading
their presentation. Instead, you must read in such a way that nobody among the
audience can tell that you are reading. Only such type of providing
presentations will make the audience to engage themselves in the topic.
Guidelines for Academic Presentations:
If the total time allotted for
the presentation is 20 minutes, then with a further 5 minutes allowed for
discussion. Follow the below-mentioned steps:
- A title slide – Title, Name and what the paper is about.
- A slide with the hypothesis you want to explore.
- Maybe 2 to 3 slides covering your up to date research sketch.
- You must not provide more than 10 slides, which means explaining each slide for not more than 2 minutes.
- It will be usually distracting to the audience to have too many slides in a short presentation.
- Avoid inserting too much text in a slide.
International Conference Alerts:
