4. Research Questions

Synthesis and organization, the two pillars for presenting:

When elaborating a TFG, including the references is essential. As it is such an extensive document, it is important to indicate the source of the information.

Research Question 1

What are the learning environments, teaching approaches, and assessment approaches used for this Mechanics of Solids course?

Research Question 2

What knowledge, study habits, and skills are perceived by students and experts, as important to do well in this Mechanics of Solids course?

Research Question 3

How do students and experts approach an ill-structured engineering problem?

Background

5. Theoretical Framework

Use images in your presentation. And use this space to describe it. To insert an image, you can upload it from your computer or use the resources found within the tool.

To create your interactive image... You can use a photograph or an illustration as a base. The important thing is that it is very attractive to catch the attention of your audience.

6. Methodology

Population and sample

In this space, it is also advisable to establish the importance of the topic, discuss previous and current research in the field, and identify the problem.We also recommend that interactivity and animation be present in all your creations, regardless of their type.

Field work

That's why, at Genially, we create our designs to make understanding and learning easier, so you can level up with interactivity and turn your content into something that adds value and hooks.

6. Methodology

Instruments

Interactivity and animation can make even the most boring content fun. In Genially, we also create our designs to facilitate understanding and learning, so that you level up with interactivity and turn your content into something that brings value and engages.

Procedures and variables

When carrying out a presentation, one must pursue two objectives: conveying information and avoiding yawns. To achieve this, it may be a good practice to create an outline and use words and concepts that aid in the assimilation of the content.

7. State of the issue

Interactive Visual Communicationstep by step:

Visual content is a cross-cutting and universal language, like music. We are able to understand images from millions of years ago, even from other cultures.

Plan the structure of your content. Give visual weight to the key points and main elements.

Define secondary messages with interactivity.

Set a flow through the content. Measure the results.

8. Development

Interactivity and animation can be your best allies in making content fun.

50%

We are visual beings

Interactivity and animation can be your best allies when it comes to creating tables, infographics, or charts that help provide context to the topic or unit, as well as simplify information to make it more understandable. We are visual beings and find it easier to 'read' images than to read written text.

8. Development

Chapter 1. Write a great title here

Did you know that Genially allows you to share your creation directly, without the need for downloads? Ready for students to view it on any device and learn anywhere.

'Your content is well-liked, but only captivating if it's interactive'

8. Development

If your genially includes data that are difficult to explain or understand, do not hesitate: including graphics will help better understand each data and give it meaning.

70%

Use graphics in your presentation...

8. Development

Use tables and infographics

Visual communication is a key tool. We find it easier to 'read' images than to read written text. That's why disciplines like Visual Thinking facilitate knowledge organization through the use of images, graphics, infographics, and simple drawings.

1.1. Write an awesome subtitle here

With Genially templates, you can include visual resources to engage the class from minute 1. You can also highlight key content to facilitate its assimilation and even embed external content that surprises and provides more context to the topic: videos, photos, audios... Whatever you want!

8. Development

Statistics convey professionalism and a greater sense of credibility.Bonus: always try to include the source.

• You can create an outline to summarize the content.
• Use words that help consolidate students' mental structures.
• Numbered ideas are much more memorable than bullet point lists.

• You can delve into the content in more detail through your oral presentation.
• We recommend that you practice and rehearse: the best improvisation is always the most prepared one!

• Show enthusiasm, smile, and maintain eye contact with your class.

9. Conclusions

Generate experienceswith your content

You can create an outline to synthesize the content and use words that will be etched into your audience's brains. Numbered ideas are much better remembered than bullet lists.

Measure results and experiment

You can develop the content in more detail through your oral presentation. We recommend that you train your voice and practice: the best improvisation is always the most rehearsed!

Visual content is a universal, transversal language, like music. We are able to understand images from millions of years ago, even from other cultures. We don't like to bore. We don't want to be repetitive. Communicating in the same way is boring and doesn't captivate. We do it differently. We sabotage boredom. We create what the brain likes to consume because it stimulates it.
