The document discusses the demonstration method of teaching. It defines demonstration as the combination of exhibition and explanation to illustrate a procedure or experiment. Some key points made include: - Demonstration involves visually showing students what to do and how to do it, requiring less verbal explanation. - It follows the learning by doing maxim and helps students develop skills through imitation. - For a demonstration to be effective, it must be well-planned, visible, involve active student participation, and include a clear summary of principles. - Demonstration is useful in technical fields and subjects like science to improve students' skills and observation abilities. It provides a hands-on learning experience.

8. Uses
• This strategy is mainly applied in the technical training institutes.
• In teacher education programmes it is used to develop skill in the
student teacher.
• At school level teacher applies it in teaching science
, biology arts and crafts , environmental studies.
• Demonstration method has a great role in nursing education as the
