1. Demonstration is a teaching method used by both large and small groups. It involves
showing of clear examples by the use of experiments. Teaching is what the teacher does, or
something that’s learned. In overall, Teaching Demonstration occurs when the students have a
hard time connecting the theories to actual practice when the students are unable to understand
the application of theories. The teacher’s role in this practice is to act as a facilitator and formal
and ongoing, carried out at a school or other place of formal education. During teaching
demonstration it is also important to use visualization and verbalization for more effective
teaching.
Before creating our letters to be signed by our department chairperson Ms. Alfe Solina
and our dean Ms. Lilibeth P. Novicio, we went to the school that we like to have our macro
demonstration named, Queen of Angels Learning Center, to the complete information needed in
our letter. On the same day, we got our proposed letter and the school that we choose gives us a
schedule for our demonstration on October 9,2014, Thursday afternoon.
In preparation to our Macro Demonstration, we used discussion strategy to promote
discovery learning. The learning plan that we did uses 4A’s and those are Activity, Application,
Abstraction and Analysis that falls under the learner centered approach. The approach that we
used focuses on the students wherein they are the ones to answer the questions given by the
teacher and there are times that it is hard for them to analyze whatever the question is, it is the
part where the teacher will be the facilitator of the classroom instead. It is more on activities and
paper works during class hours for the students to become active the teacher prepares some
motivational activity which is somehow related to the topic. The draft of our lesson plan is
checked by Sir. Paul Jorel Santos, he gives his comment and suggestions on it that we followed
to make it effective. He suggests to change some of our objectives that will belong to the HOTS
(Higher Order Thinking Skills) and suggested some activity that the students will enjoy. And we
revised our learning plan, then the final draft is approved.
