Preparation, execution and assessment of oral presentations in the first and third grade of primary school

In my diploma thesis I have researched the method of preparation, implementation and evaluation of oral performance in the first and third grade of primary school. I have supported the practical oral presentation with theoretical basis. I have defined the preparation for the oral performance and teacher's role in this and implementation, listening and principles of effective communication and the inclusion of oral performance in the curriculum. In implementation of oral performances I have observed the following criteria: the arriwal in front of the school board and forecasting the topic, presentation of the topic, text structure and speech, language, non-verbal speech and accompanying accessories. The research involved pupils of first and third grade from Primary school Blaža Arniča in Luče at Savinja. I gained the information by observing the preparation, implementation and evaluation of oral performances as well as a questionnaire for the students. I have presented data in a descriptive and graphic way. The results showed similarities and differences between different oral presentations. The biggest problem was with non-verbal language. Oral performances from third-class pupils were longer, more original, meaningfully structured, independent, but worse at valuation. Students have progressed mainly in relaxation and eye contact with the audience
