ABSTRACT
Online learning should ensure that students’ oral communication skills remain good. This study
aimed to determine the oral communication skills of chemistry department students in polymer
chemistry courses at online learning based on differences in gender and study program. The
research design was quantitative descriptive. The data collection tool was an observation sheet
about the assessment of oral communication skills collected during presentation activities. The
sample was 73 students. Data were analyzed utilizing a one-way analysis of variance test. The
findings reveal that students’ oral communication skills based on gender have differences, but the
difference was not significant. The oral communication skills of male students are higher than
female students. There was a significant difference in students’ verbal communication skills based
on study programs. Chemistry students’ oral communication skills have higher than chemistry
education students. The implications of the research results are described.
