Effects of Pecha Kucha on Presentation Skills in Nursing Students

Background: Pecha Kucha may support concise and organized health education presentations, but its contribution when added to conventional PowerPoint presentations remains unclear.

Method: In this randomized, posttest-only controlled study, 272 first-year nursing students were assigned to PowerPoint-only or PowerPoint-plus-Pecha Kucha groups. Presentation skills, motivation, and satisfaction were assessed after the presentations.

Treatment and study plan

PowerPoint + Pecha Kucha summary

Other

Participants received a 25-minute structured training session on the Pecha Kucha presentation technique. The training included the purpose and principles of Pecha Kucha, the 20 × 20 format, automatic slide progression, visual slide preparation, timing, and presentation delivery. Participants then prepared and delivered a 25-minute PowerPoint presentation on an assigned health education topic, followed by a 6-minute 40-second Pecha Kucha summary consisting of 20 slides displayed for 20 seconds each.

PowerPoint only

Participants prepared and delivered a conventional 25-minute PowerPoint presentation on the assigned health education topic. No Pecha Kucha training was provided, and the Pecha Kucha presentation format was not used during the study.

Primary outcomes

  1. Presentation Skills Assessed With the Presentation Skills Assessment Form (PSAF)

    Time frame: Immediately post-intervention

    Presentation skills were assessed using the Presentation Skills Assessment Form (PSAF), which consists of 25 items scored as 0, 2, or 4. Total scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better presentation skills.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Motivation Assessed With the Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS)

    Time frame: Immediately post-intervention

    Motivation was assessed using the Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS), which consists of 24 items rated on a five-point Likert scale. Total scores range from 24 to 120, with higher scores indicating greater motivation toward the instructional material.

  2. Satisfaction With the Presentation Method Assessed Using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    Time frame: Immediately post-intervention

    Satisfaction with the presentation method was assessed using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) ranging from 0 ("not satisfied at all") to 10 ("very satisfied"), with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction.
