Abstract

Presentation is an essential ability for every college student, including a student at Islamic University, because many agendas require this ability both in class and organization. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of interpersonal skills training and PowerPoint training to improve the presentation skills of first-year students. This study used an experimental design that is one group pretest-posttest design. The subjects of this study were 24 first-year students (6 male; 18 female). The students were divided into seven groups consisting of 3 to 4 students. The training was carried out in 4 sessions, namely listening skills, public speaking, use of power points, and practice of preparing presentations. Pre-test and post-test data were taken before and after training by assessing the presentation skills of each group. Pre-test and post-test data show an increase in the average from 65.43 to 86.29. Further analysis using paired sample t-tests showed a significance value of 0.00 (<0.05), so it can be concluded that there were differences in students' abilities in presentation between before and after training. These results will be more representative of the research used a broader population, so it is recommended to further researchers to reach a broader community to achieve more representative results.
