Demonstrations in Teaching
Lesson 10.
"Good demonstration is good communication."
A demonstration is a teaching method used with both large and small groups. Demonstrations become more effective when verbalization accompanies them. For example, in a half demonstration-half lecture, an explanation accompanies the actions performed. It is a generally accepted learning theory that the greater the degree of active participation and sensory involvement by the learner, the more effective learning will be.
Demonstrations are an effective method for teaching concepts and problem-solving procedures. A good demonstration should lead to increased attentiveness, learning, and performance.
Advantages Demonstrations Utilize several senses
- Students can see, hear, and possibly experience an actual event.
- Stimulate interest
- Present ideas and concepts more clearly
- Provide direct experiences
- Reinforce learning
Disadvantages Demonstrations
- May fail May limit participation
- May limit audience/client input
- Require preparation
Reflection:
As a student, I learned that in demonstration in teaching, the head of the classroom will create a plan that enables teacher to define the exact meaning of the word or the hidden lessons for the students in teaching with the aid of visual presentation, so that the students will learn their lessons well which provided by their teacher, and also to catch their attention in order for them to learn. The Demonstration in Teaching conveys a vivid explanation for the students so that they can learn their lessons.
