Behave onself Is it means acting properly? Is it OK if it appears in the sentense "When you make a presentation, you can get to know how to behave yourself"

Behave oneself does mean to act properly, to not do anything that you should not be doing. Your sentence is not quite correct. "Behave oneself" doesn't apply well to a presentation, it is more for informal situations or for children. For example: If you are going to a party with people you work with, it is a good idea to behave yourself, and not drink too much or talk too loudly. Another example (to a child): "If you behave yourself while we are at the store, we can have ice cream when we get home." Hope that helps!
