(2020) Let's talk about public speaking anxiety: Supporting and scaffolding sustainable speaking practices while at university and beyond. Professional Doctorate thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Public Speaking Anxiety (PSA) is an enduring challenge in education and employment. This professional doctorate investigated PSA in higher education via two connected projects. Project 1 utilised an instrumental case study to explore how PSA was recognised and experienced in an undergraduate university oral communication unit. Applying critical reflective practice, this study concluded that PSA is complex, prevalent, individual and unstable. Leveraging this understanding, Project 2 presents a new support framework and offers practical guidance for both educators and students. This framework promotes self-regulation, self-efficacy and self-reflection to develop sustainable speaking practices while at university and beyond.
