The effectiveness of teacher’s use of
demonstration for enhancing student’s
understanding of and attitudes to learning the
oxidation – reduction concept.
• Ahmad Basher, Muhamad Hygerat , Naji
Kortam, Avi Hofstein.
244/29/2019 DEMONSTRATION
25. • A study was done to explore whether the use
of teacher’s demonstration significantly
improves student’s understanding of redox
reaction compared with control group
counterparts who were not exposed to
demonstration.
254/29/2019 DEMONSTRATION
26. • Material and method: Sample consisted of
131, 8th graders and their attitude and
achievement were assessed using
questionnaire.
• Results: The findings showed that the
experimental group’s achievement and
understanding of the subject were statistically
significantly better than those of their control
group counterparts.
