What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Participants received a 25-minute structured training session on the Pecha Kucha presentation technique. The training included the purpose and principles of Pecha Kucha, the 20 × 20 format, automatic slide progression, visual slide preparation, timing, and presentation delivery. Participants then prepared and delivered a 25-minute PowerPoint presentation on an assigned health education topic, followed by a 6-minute 40-second Pecha Kucha summary consisting of 20 slides displayed for 20 seconds each.
PowerPoint onlyOther
Participants prepared and delivered a conventional 25-minute PowerPoint presentation on the assigned health education topic. No Pecha Kucha training was provided, and the Pecha Kucha presentation format was not used during the study.

Presentation skills were assessed using the Presentation Skills Assessment Form (PSAF), which consists of 25 items scored as 0, 2, or 4. Total scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better presentation skills.
Measured: Immediately post-intervention

Motivation Assessed With the Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS)
Motivation was assessed using the Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS), which consists of 24 items rated on a five-point Likert scale. Total scores range from 24 to 120, with higher scores indicating greater motivation toward the instructional material.
Measured: Immediately post-intervention
Satisfaction With the Presentation Method Assessed Using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Satisfaction with the presentation method was assessed using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) ranging from 0 ("not satisfied at all") to 10 ("very satisfied"), with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction.
Measured: Immediately post-intervention
