AVOID THE
COIK FALLACY
ESTABLISH
RAPPORT
WATCH FOR
KEYPOINTS
⊡ Greet your audience
⊡ Make them feel at ease
by your warmth and
sincerity.
⊡ Stimulate their interest
by making your
demonstration and
yourself interesting.
⊡ Sustain their attention.
⊡ Clear Only If Known –
assumption that what is
known to the expert
demonstrator is also
clearly known to the
person for whom the
message is intended.
⊡ To avoid this, assume
that the audience knows
nothing or a little what is
intended to be
demonstrated.
⊡ Key points – they are
the ones at which an
error is likely to be
made.
⊡ The good demonstrator
recognizes possible
stumbling blocks to to
learners and highlights
them in someway.
⊡ What are usually
highlighted are the
“don’t’s” of a process or
a strategy.

REMINDER!
⊡ A good demonstration is an audio-visual presentation.
⊡ If you see that there are too many important points
to tackle in a demonstration, it may be best to divide
the demonstration into two parts.
⊡ The task of demonstration is not a monopoly of the teacher.
⊡ Do not hurry your demonstration.
