Paper presentation

In a paper presentation you will get the opportunity to present your research and ask for feedback on your work during a discussion.

To prepare for the paper presentation, PhD candidates write a paper about their research. You can also use a paper you have written recently. When your paper is ready, prepare an interesting presentation in English to inform the audience about your research. The presentation should take no more than 10 minutes (try to prepare a maximum of 15 slides). Keep in mind that your audience did not read the paper. In your paper and presentation you can address one or more central aspects of your research project. For example, an elaborated theoretical framework in which you operationalize the central themes of your project, the experimental set-up and results or the design of the materials you used (learning environment, assessment instrument, and so on).

After your presentation there will be 20 minutes time for discussion. The appointed discussants will start this discussion.

Inform your discussants about the goals of your presentation and write down two questions that can help focus the discussion.
