Descripción
Sumario:This study focuses on the implementation of the Pecha Kucha teaching-learning technique in the university context with the aim of improving the oral communication skills of students, highly valued in the current workplace. This technique forces students to be concise and clear exposing. The research was carried out with 46 students of the Banking Management courseat the University of Seville. Both the final grades of the students and their perception of the oral communication skills they had acquired through this experience were evaluated. The results do not show a significant relationship between the Pecha Kucha activity and the final grades of the students, which would lead us to propose improvements in the evaluation system of the activity. The perception of the students is positive about the level of communication skills acquired and the adequacy of this technique for their development. This teaching innovation seeks to prepare students for financial challenges and develop key skills for personal and professional success.
