Student Presentations as a Tool for Developing Professional Competences of Future Pedagogers

Abstract

Having social competences determines interpersonal effectiveness. One of the elements of these competences is to deal with situations related to social exposure. Such situations, although often stressful, are necessary in many professions, because they are connected with the need to present knowledge effectively. For a teacher, pedagogue or tutor, the presentation of knowledge is a basic professional task. The study presents selected fragments of opinions’ analysis of pedagogy students on the topic of students’ presentations. Students highlighted the need to: improve the skills of public speaking, receiving detailed feedback about the presentation from the lecturer, and, above all, the need to precisely define the requirements and assessment criteria.
