Your research doesn’t help inform change if no one knows about it. It is important to be able to describe the study you conducted and how you interpret the findings in a clear and organized way. As a team, you will present your research to the other NCLC 203 students and to your community partner, who will share feedback on your presentation to you and your instructor.
The parts of the presentation should include:
Introduction: Describe the issue your project addressed in a way that captures the attention of the audience. Provide an overview of what is to come in the presentation.
Describe the issue: Using your needs/assets assessment and what you have learned from your community partner, help the audience understand the issue and the context of your project.
An Interactive Activity: At some point during the presentation, you should conduct some activity that will engage the audience in an activity that will help them to either understand the issue you studied OR understand the implications of your research findings.
Literature Review: Briefly describe the themes of your literature review and what was generally known about your topic in the research literature.
Describe each sub-study: Include method, subjects, and findings.
Interpretation of findings and recommendations: Integrate the findings of the sub-studies into results and recommendations for action.
Conclusion: Review what was presented and what next steps for future research in this area might be.
General Expectations:
A professional and creative presentation is expected. The presentation should demonstrate a unified effort. Visual aids and audience interaction should be used to provide clarity to your points, make the issue compelling, and your presentation interesting.
All of your presentation materials should be posted to a screen on your wiki.
