COMO FAZER APRESENTAÇÃO DE SLIDES | ARTIGO, TCC, DISSERTAÇÃO E TESE

Summary

In this video, Professor Fernanda Escur guides viewers through the process of creating a quick, effective academic presentation. Aimed at reducing anxiety and improving clarity, she stresses the importance of planning, keeping slides concise, and focusing on key elements like the introduction, methodology, results, and contributions. She advises against overloading the presentation with excessive details and encourages rehearsals to ensure smooth delivery. The goal is to engage the committee with a clear overview that sparks discussion, rather than overwhelming them with too much information.

Takeaways

• 😀 Presentations are not lectures – keep them concise and focused on providing an overview for discussion, not detailed instruction.
• 😀 Aim to create a presentation that lasts around 15 minutes, with a maximum of 20 slides to avoid overwhelming yourself and your audience.
• 😀 Structure your presentation with an introduction, methodology, main results, and contributions. Avoid unnecessary details like lengthy theoretical frameworks or excessive results.
• 😀 The introduction should focus on problematization and the research gap, not a detailed history of your topic.
• 😀 Avoid using slides with too much text or unreadable references. Use visual elements like figures and graphs to make your presentation more engaging.
• 😀 Rehearse your presentation multiple times to polish the content, adjust slide timing, and mentally prepare for the real presentation.
• 😀 The method section should include only the essentials: data collection techniques and how you analyzed your data. Don’t overload your audience with every detail.
• 😀 When presenting results, use visual representations such as graphs to summarize the findings in a clear and engaging manner.
• 😀 Avoid presenting all the results in detail. Focus on the most important findings that support your research and its contributions.
• 😀 Remember that a presentation serves as a starting point for discussion, not as a final lesson on your topic. Keep the presentation engaging and concise.
• 😀 Your goal is to spark a debate with your committee, not to give an exhaustive lecture. Keep it simple and clear to ensure a smoother defense.

Q & A

What is the primary purpose of an academic presentation according to the script?

The primary purpose of an academic presentation is not to deliver a lecture or teach the audience everything. It is to provide an overview of the research, which facilitates further discussion with the evaluation committee.

Why should presentations avoid using many slides or presenting excessive information?

Presentations should be concise, using fewer slides, because a lengthy presentation increases nervousness and can lead to rushing at the end. A leaner presentation allows for better pacing and helps the presenter manage their time and anxiety.

How should the time allocated for a presentation be used effectively?

The time should be used wisely by planning the number of slides based on the available time. The rule of thumb is one slide per minute, but it’s suggested to use a bit less than that to avoid rushing towards the end and to maintain a relaxed pace.

What is the recommended structure for an academic presentation as per the script?

The recommended structure includes: Introduction (problem statement, research gap, and objective), Methodology (research context, data collection, and analysis), Main Results (key findings with visual aids), and Contributions (summarizing the research impact).

What is the importance of the introduction section in an academic presentation?

The introduction should focus on presenting the problematization, the research gap, and the objective of the work. It is crucial to establish the gap in the research early, as this provides context and sets the stage for the presentation.

Why is it important to not present the theoretical framework in detail during a presentation?

Instead of delving into the theoretical framework, the presentation should focus on the problematization, which encapsulates the necessary theoretical insights. This prevents the audience from getting bored and keeps the presentation concise.

What role do visual aids play in an academic presentation?

Visual aids, such as figures and graphs, help maintain the audience’s attention and clarify complex data. They allow the presenter to show the main points without overwhelming the audience with text, making the information more accessible and engaging.

How can presenters avoid creating overcrowded slides?

Presenters should avoid overcrowding slides with excessive text or references. Instead, they should include only key points, use images where possible, and ensure the text is large enough to be readable from a distance.

What is the significance of rehearsing the presentation before the actual defense?

Rehearsing the presentation helps to refine the slides, ensure timing is accurate, and prepare the presenter emotionally. It builds confidence and allows the presenter to adjust the content for clarity and flow.

What is the role of the committee during the presentation?

The committee’s role is to evaluate the work based on the written document, not the presentation itself. The presentation serves to spark discussion, and the evaluation mainly occurs through the debate and questions that follow.
