Presentation

A presentation is the targeted preparation of information to present content to a specific audience. Presentation means “display” or “performance” and can concern both a thing and a person. In Freinet pedagogy, presentations play an important role in the overall learning process. As learners frequently and deliberately work individually or in small groups on specific topics, the presentation has the task of presenting the acquired knowledge in a way that is profitable for the entire learning group. The basic realization that I can only explain to others what I have understood myself acts as an incentive and corrective for the presenters. The audience gains an impression and knowledge of a subject that they have not yet dealt with. In a systematic and age-appropriate manner, learners acquire skills in a wide variety of presentation techniques (from simple “cheat sheets” and poster design to digital forms of presentation and drama). Because of the great importance attached to presentation, these are an indispensable part of all further and continuing education in Freinet pedagogy. In this way, the learning guides acquire a broad spectrum of presentation methods.
