Abstract

Oral presentation (OP) integrates social practices from the academic community, whereby knowledge about the subjects under study can be disseminated and discussed. On the other hand, systematic work is not verified for learning this genre in undergraduate chemistry teaching. In this perspective, this article aims to report on a classroom activity used in a scientific communication course in order to improve the skills needed for chemistry students to develop OP. The students were asked to prepare an OP by reading original research articles published in the Química Nova journal on the subject of biodiesel. The OPs were analyzed according to the Teachable Dimensions of the Oral Presentation Genre so as to indicate both the actions that make the production of this genre feasible and those that hinder it. The results suggest the relevance of commitment to OP teaching and learning in chemistry courses, which is a complex activity, but fundamental for undergraduate education. (AU)
