MODULE 8
Sharing Your Research

To the Student:

You are now in your final stage in your research.

Are you now ready to present your research output?

What is the next thing that comes to your mind? Did you
follow the standard procedures before submitting your final
paper?

You are now on the culmination part of you research

work. After gathering all the needed data and interpreting it,
now is the time to share you research.

This module will guide you to finalize your research

draft before reporting for oral defense. You will make revision
on your research report based on suggestions and
recommendations of panellists. After all the deliberation and
revision you are now ready to submit your final written
research report.
Congratulations and God bless in your final defense.

To the Teacher

Your task is to advise on the preparation of the oral

presentation. You are going to document the proceedings
of the oral presentation. After all the preliminaries you are
going to check the final written research report.

In this lesson, you will be able to share and defend your written research
report. You are going to revise your written research report based on
suggestions and recommendations of panelist and finally submit final written
research report.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

What’s the best way to prepare for your Oral Defense?

1. Know the format of your research defense

Make sure that you have followed the standard guidelines in presenting your
written research. As a learner of this program, make sure that you can defend
your research in front of the panel of examiners personally. An online defense
may be applicable, but it is better to have it in person to avoid barriers of
communication.

2. Prepare and practice your presentation

A good presentation depends also on the time frame. A 15-minute presentation

with a maximum of 10 to 15 slides is already an ideal presentation. Practice,
and master the content of each slide to avoid excessive watching on your own
copy. Train yourself in public speaking, or practice your presentation inside an
empty room. However, the best way to practice is to have it with your peers or
family members, so that they can also give comments or feedback on your
performance.

3. Answer the questions properly and confidently

In every defense, there is always a question from a panel. Defend your

research, and confidently answer the questions. Do not be hesitant in front of
them, because they might think that you are not master with your research
study.

Research Presentation Guidelines

Brief Presentation: This is the visual version of your paper. Your presentation
should include: a short introduction, your hypotheses, a brief description of the
methods, tables and/or graphs related to your findings, and an interpretation of
your data.

The presentations should not be more than 10 minutes long. It is not much
time though. Consider planning about 1 minute per slide. The trick to giving a
better presentations is simplifying your information down into bulleted,
diagrams, tables and graphs. Do not rush while presenting.

Title slide (1 slide). It will contain the title of your paper. If the research is in
group list the name of all the members, your class and section, school and the
date of presentation.

Introduction (typically 3-4 slides). Explain why your work is interesting. This
part tells the context of the study. Using pictures is a plus factor to attract
audience excitement and attention about the issue and questions you are
addressing. Clearly state your hypotheses.

Materials and Methods (typically 2-3 slides). This is a clear summary of

design. Show a picture of your respondents and justify why they are appropriate
for addressing the questions mentioned above. Show a picture of the venue/
laboratory set-up or some person doing some work or activity related to your
study. You can show a diorama of your experimental design (sample sizes,
sampling frequency). Mention what parameters you measured but do not go
into detail on exact procedures used. State what statistical tests you used to
analyse data.

Results (typically 2-4 slides). You may show a photograph which shows an
interesting qualitative results and state the results. Graphical presentation of
results reminds the audience of your hypothesis. A simple and clean graphs
with complete label is more reliable. Do not use light colors in your figures, they
do not show up well when projected.

Implications and Conclusions (typically 2-3 slides). Interpret your results

correctly. Address sources of errors and methodological difficulties
constructively. Results should be placed in context and draw implications from
them.

Acknowledgement (1 slide). Thank everyone who provided advice or

assistance. Verbally thank your audience for their attention and tell them you
would be happy to answer any questions.

 What is It

Use the following steps when preparing for the oral defense of your
Research Paper.
1. Your evaluation is based on your presentation.

2. Prepare for your presentation mentally and physically. If possible sleep

early the night before your presentation.

3. You don’t need to memorize everything but you should know the key
points.

4. Familiarize your power point presentation and all the parts of your
research including all the details.

5. Make eye contact with more than one member of the panel of assessors
during the course of your presentation.

6. You may bring mode of verifications for easy reference of your research.

7. Keep the cool. Don’t speak too fast and don’t read your notes. Just
glance once in a while.

8. Use simple terminologies. It should be concise to be understood even if

the audience is not in the academe.

9. You may prepare hand-outs or brochure.

10. Space your presentation. Do not focused in one slide only.

11. When the panelist occasionally interact during your presentation, take
