The document discusses the definition, purposes, principles, and phases of a demonstration as a teaching method. A demonstration involves visually showing how to do something in a step-by-step process. It has an explanation phase where the instructor explains the objectives. Next is a demonstration phase where the instructor performs the skill. This is followed by a performance phase where learners perform the skill under supervision. Finally, an evaluation phase assesses how well learners acquired the skill. The goal is for learners to be able to perform the skill independently after observing the demonstration.
