Analysis of Pre-service Teacher’s Public Speaking Skills in Explaining Basic Physics Concepts Through Instagram Content

Abstract

Previously, public speaking should be done in classrooms, halls, or fields attended directly by participants. Nowadays, social media such as Instagram allows its users to upload videos, include captions, show videos to everyone and include a comment column for discussion space. This research aims to determine students' public speaking skills after using Instagram media to present their content. This research is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. The selection of respondents used a saturated sampling technique, namely 32 students taking the Basic Concepts of Physics course for elementary schools. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, questionnaires and literature study. Next, data analysis uses Miles and Huberman analysis. The results and conclusions of this research are: 1) By creating science content on Instagram, students' public speaking skills are in a good category, 2) The project of creating educational content on Instagram is effective in making students learn the material that will be presented, so they can sharpen basic concepts their science and broaden their horizons.
