Effects of pecha kucha presentation pedagogy on nursing students' presentation skills: a quasi-experimental study in Tanzania.
Article in BMC medical education, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06862024 (Effect of PechaKucha), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract
introductionIneffective and non-interactive learning among nursing students limits opportunities for students' classroom presentation skills, creativity, and innovation upon completion of their classroom learning activities. Pecha Kucha presentation is the new promising pedagogy that engages students in learning and improves students' speaking skills and other survival skills. It involves the use of 20 slides, each covering 20 seconds of its presentation. The current study examined the effect of Pecha Kucha's presentation pedagogy on presentation skills among nursing students in Tanzania.
objectivesThe aim of this study was to establish comparative nursing student's presentation skills between exposure to the traditional PowerPoint presentations and Pecha Kucha presentations.
methodsThe study employed an uncontrolled quasi-experimental design (pre-post) using a quantitative research approach among 230 randomly selected nursing students at the respective training institution. An interviewer-administered structured questionnaire adopted from previous studies to measure presentation skills between June and July 2023 was used. The study involved the training of research assistants, pre-assessment of presentation skills, training of participants, assigning topics to participants, classroom presentations, and post-intervention assessment. A linear regression analysis model was used to determine the effect of the intervention on nursing students' presentation skills using Statistical Package for Social Solution (SPSS) version 26, set at a 95% confidence interval and 5% significance level.
resultsFindings revealed that 63 (70.87%) participants were aged ≤ 23 years, of which 151 (65.65%) and 189 (82.17%) of them were males and undergraduate students, respectively. Post-test findings showed a significant mean score change in participants' presentation skills between baseline (M = 4.07 ± SD = 0.56) and end-line (M = 4.54 ± SD = 0.59) that accounted for 0.4717 ± 0.7793; p < .0001(95%CI) presentation skills mean score change with a medium effect size of 0.78. An increase in participants' knowledge of Pecha Kucha presentation was associated with a 0.0239 (p < .0001) increase in presentation skills.
conclusionPecha Kucha presentations have a significant effect on nursing students' presentation skills as they enhance inquiry and mastery of their learning content before classroom presentations. The pedagogical approach appeared to enhance nursing students' confidence during the classroom presentation. Therefore, there is a need to incorporate Pecha Kucha presentation pedagogy into nursing curricula and nursing education at large to promote student-centered teaching and learning activities and the development of survival skills.
