Download or read book An Experimental Study on the Effects of the Showcase Assignment Treating Public Speaking Anxiety Through the Use of Experiential Learning and Self disclosure Theories written by Amelia Sanders and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This experimental study reviewed the efficacy of a new classroom tool known as the Showcase Assignment. This assignment reduces public speaking anxiety in the public speaking classroom. This assignment asked students to pick a talent (poetry reading, singing, etc.) that is important to them in some way, give a brief description of what their talent is, disclose its importance to them, and perform it in front of the class. This study was based on literature related to communication apprehension, experiential learning and self-disclosure theories, and classroom environment. This study used pre-test post-test survey methodology of 179 students, split into treatment and control groups, enrolled in speech courses at two mid-sized universities in the Southern United States to answer five research questions: (1) How does the implementation of the Showcase Assignment affect public speaking anxiety as it relates to speech classrooms? (2) How does the Showcase Assignment impact grades on speaking assignments compared to those that are not exposed? (3) How do students describe the Showcase Assignment in relation to a supportive classroom environment? (4) How do students describe the Showcase Assignment in relation to creative learning? (5) How do perceived instructor personality and implementation of the Showcase Assignment compare to the students' perception of instructor personality and implementation of the Showcase Assignment? The study found that the Showcase Assignment did not have a significant impact on students' self-reports of anxiety overall but, the instructor teaching the Showcase Assignment did impact those reports. The Showcase Assignment did improve student́'s observed anxiety levels, meaning that students in the experiment group appeared more confident when speaking. The assignment also showed an improvement in student grades on speaking assignments. The study found that students reported positive feedback concerning the Showcase Assignment including its benefits in creating a supportive classroom environment and in enhancing creativity skills to help with other speech class presentations. Finally, the study showed that positive instructor personality and implementation of the Showcase Assignment will result in positive student feedback.
Download or read book Anxiety in the Classroom written by Russell G. Kulp and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research investigated instructor verbal and nonverbal immediacy behaviors that reduce perceived distance and foster closeness between the professor and the students, which may influence anxiety reduction among students experiencing speech anxiety (Bolkan, Goodboy, & Myers, 2016; Chesebro & McCroskey, 2001; Velez & Cano, 2008). A survey of student perceived public speaking anxiety and verbal and nonverbal instructor immediacy, which combined the Personal Report of Public Speaking Anxiety (PRPSA) (McCroskey, 1970) and the Immediacy Behavior Scale (IBS) (Gorham, 1988), was conducted among undergraduate college students in two colleges in the Northeast United States who had completed a college course in public speaking. The findings indicated a significant relationship between instructor immediacy behaviors and speaking anxiety reduction. A stronger relationship appears to exist between nonverbal immediacy and reduced public speaking anxiety than does verbal immediacy. College professors seeking approaches for lowering student speaking anxiety may want to consider the enhancement and addition of, or the intentional practice of, immediacy behaviors to their pedagogical toolkits. Further study is needed to identify and investigate the extent to which other intervening variables may account for public speaking anxiety reduction among college students.

Download or read book Treating Public Speaking Anxiety A Comparison of Exposure and Video Self Modeling written by Emily Marie Bartholomay and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the relative effectiveness of VSM and exposure in treating public speaking anxiety in reducing anxiety with a college student. The study employed a single-subject A-B design with parametric variations. Two phases were utilized in this study: baseline (exposure therapy) and treatment (video self-modeling) with a one-month follow-up. Generalization probes were also employed to assess whether or not decreases in PSA would generalize to other settings. Results indicate a significant decrease in public speaking anxiety from both pre- to post-treatment as well as from baseline to exposure. However, these results may be specific to public speaking anxiety, as other forms of anxiety did not result in such decreases. Results from a post-treatment survey indicated that the participant felt that the treatment was beneficial in reducing public speaking anxiety.
Download or read book Public Speaking 2 Edition and Student CD ROM written by Andrews and published by . This book was released on 2001-08 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a comprehensive, balanced treatment of skill and theory, combined with a robust video supplement package, Public Speaking offers the greatest flexibility of any introductory text in the market. The text's accessible approach to communication presents the process of constructing, researching, and delivering speeches as a means of building a bridge between speaker and audience. The Second Edition offers students two simple ways to access the innovative video program: on CD-ROM packaged free with the text or on the text's companion web site. Designed to allow instructors to integrate text and video in a visually oriented approach to learning, the videos strengthen the hands-on pedagogical nature of the text material. In addition the new technology creates greater opportunities for distributed learning. Video content includes examples of effective (and less effective) speakers addressing diverse audiences in business, school, and community settings; illustrations of audience-specific approaches to the same topic; and interviews with students, professionals, and community leaders about issues they face when preparing or delivering speeches. Early treatment of communication apprehension combined with a first speech assignment helps students overcome anxiety from the start. Up-to-date coverage of the Internet as a research tool includes a focus on critical analysis of content and additional Internet activities, including Connecting to the 'Net boxes. The Portfolio feature offers opportunities for creating an e-portfolio journal. A commitment to TA training features a training guide and videos, with sample integrated syllabi for making optimal use of classroom videos.

Download or read book Values and Public Speaking written by Aviva M. Katz and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD), including public speaking (the most frequently endorsed social fear), is prevalent, chronic, and can be vastly debilitating. Cognitive behavioral therapies (CBTs) have garnered substantial empirical support for the treatment of SAD. Although effective in reducing social anxiety, they are not sufficient, as a significant proportion of patients, as many as 40-50%, do not respond to treatment. Treatment for social anxiety might be improved with the integration of strategies aimed at increasing acceptance and engagement in valued action (i.e., Acceptance-based Behavioral Therapies; ABBTs). Clients may be more willing to stay engaged in treatment, if the rationale is focused on facilitating action in the domains of functioning personally valued by the client. The current study had two goals: (1) to examine the relationships among academic values, experiential avoidance, public speaking, and willingness to engage in anxiety-provoking academic activities and (2) to explore the efficacy of a brief values intervention compared to a CBT and control condition in increasing willingness to engage in anxiety-provoking academic activities among students with public speaking anxiety. --
