This document discusses the demonstration method of teaching. It defines demonstration method as showing students how a skill is performed. The document outlines the objectives, characteristics, performance process, advantages, and disadvantages of the demonstration method. It concludes that demonstration method involves actively showing students skills but not all students can participate, requiring advance planning from the teacher.

4. OBJECTIVES:
WE WILL DISCUSS:
 WHAT IS DEMONSTRATION METHOD?
 CHARACTERISTICS OF DEMONSTRATION METHOD
 PERFORMANCE OF DEMONSTRATION METHOD
 ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF DEMONSTRATION
METHOD
 SUGGESTIONS FOR DEMONSTRATION METHOD

5. DEMO
“A DEMO IS WHAT YOU GIVE TO SHOW HOW
SOMETHING WORKS.”

6. DEMONSTRATION METHOD
“DEMONSTRATION IS A METHOD OF
PRESENTATION OF SKILLS WHICH SHOWS
HOW A PARTICULAR PROCEDURE IS
PERFORMED.”

7. CONT……
¤THE TEACHER SHOWS AND EXPLAIN.
¤STUDENTS ARE ACTIVE .
¤IT IS BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE “TRUTH IS THAT WHICH
WORKS”.
¤IT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL AND ECONOMICAL METHOD.
¤TEACHER HAS TO WORK OUT SOMETHING AND THEN THE
STUDENTS WILL BELIEVE.
¤MOST COMMONLY USED IN “SCIENCE AND FINE ARTS”.
¤CAN BE USED IN GIVING INFORMATION, TRAINING AND
KNOWLEDGE.

8. CHARACTERISTICS
FOLLOWING ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD
DEMONSTRATION:
¤VISIBLE TO ALL STUDENTS.
¤SET UP SHOULD BE AT GOOD HEIGHT FOR PROPER VISIBILITY.
¤CLASSROOM MUST HAVE GOOD LIGHTNING AND VENTILATION.
¤SIZE OF THE APPARATUS SHOULD BE LARGE ENOUGH FOR THE
STUDENTS.
¤THE APPARATUS SHOULD HAVE A BLACK BOARD TO SUMMARIZING

9. CONT…..
¤TO AVOID FLOUNDERING DURING DEMONSTRATION, THE
TEACHER MUST ARRANGE THE APPARATUS IN PROPER ORDER.
¤ASKING SUITABLE REFLECTIVE TYPE QUESTIONS KEEP THE
STUDENTS ON TRACK.
¤GIVE EMPHASIS ON THE MAIN OR MAJOR POINTS TO MAKE
STUDENTS AWARE OF THE OBJECTIVES OF THE
DEMONSTRATION.
¤PACE OF THE METHOD MUST BE ACCURATE.

10. CONT….
¤THE STUDENTS SHOULD BE GIVEN AMPLE TIME FOR
RECORDING THE DATA.
¤THE TEACHER MUST BE WELL-VERSED IN HANDLING THE
APPARATUS BY CARRYING OUT NECESSARY REHEARSAL PRIOR
TO ACTUAL DEMONSTRATION.
¤THE TEACHER SHOULD MAKE ALLOWANCES AND PROVISIONS
IN CASE OF ANY CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE POWER FAILURE ETC.

16. 1. EXPLANATION:
 EXPLANATION MUST BE CLEAR.
OBJECTIVES OF THE PARTICULAR LESSON TO BE
PRESENTED.
THE INSTRUCTOR MUST CONVEY TO THE
STUDENTS THE PRECISE ACTIONS THEY ARE TO
PERFORM.
INSTRUCTOR SHOULD DESCRIBE THE END RESULT
OF THESE EFFORTS.
BEFORE LEAVING , THE INSTRUCTOR SHOULD
ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO ASK QUESTIONS.

17. 2. DEMONSTRATION:
THE INSTRUCTOR MUST SHOW STUDENTS
THE ACTIONS NECESSARY TO PERFORM A
SKILL.
EXTRANEOUS ACTIVITY AS POSSIBLE SHOULD
BE INCLUDED IN THE DEMONSTRATION.
TO CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTOR
IS ACCURATELY PERFORMING THE ACTIONS
PREVIOUSLY EXPLAINED.

18. 3. PERFORMANCE:
IS RELATED TO STUDENT’S PERFORMANCE OF
THE PHYSICAL OR MENTAL SKILLS.
STUDENTS PERFORMANCE REQUIRES
STUDENTS TO ACT AND DO.
THROUGH DOING, STUDENTS LEARN TO
FOLLOW CORRECT PROCEDURES AND TO
REACH ESTABLISHED STANDARDS.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT STUDENTS BE GIVEN
AN OPPORTUNITY TO PERFORM SKILL AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER A

19. 4. SUPERVISION:
DURING PERFORMANCE PHASE, THE SUPERVISION
PHASE IS ALSO HAPPENING BY THE INSTRUCTOR.
THE INSTRUCTOR SUPERVISED THE PERFORMANCE
OF THE STUDENTS AND OBSERVED THEIR
LEARNING AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE
DEMONSTRATION.
THEY WERE ALLOWED TO INDEPENDENTLY
COMPLETE THE TASK AT LEAST ONCE WITH
SUPERVISION AND COACHING AS NECESSARY.

20. 5.EVALUATION:
IN THIS PHASE, THE INSTRUCTOR JUDGES’
STUDENT PERFORMANCE.
THE INSTRUCTOR DISCOVERS JUST HOW WELL
THE SKILL HAS BEEN LEARNED.
FROM THIS MEASUREMENT OF STUDENT
ACHIEVEMENT, THE INSTRUCTOR DETERMINES
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE INSTRUCTION.

21. ADVANTAGES
o LOWER COST
o AVAILABILITY OF EQUIPMENT
o ECONOMY OF TIME
o LESS HAZARD FROM DANGEROUS MATERIALS
o DIRECTION OF THE THINKING PROCESS

22. CONT….
o INVOLVES MORE SENSE
o DEVELOP INTEREST
o EASY UNDERSTANDING
o INVOLVES STUDENTS
o SHOW THE USE OF EQUIPMENT

23. CONT…
 THE DEMONSTRATION CAN OPEN A STUDENT’S EYE TO A
NEW WORLD OF UNDERSTANDING.
 THE DEMONSTRATION SHORTENS THE TIME FOR LEARNING
AND LENGTHENS THE MEMORY OF FACTS AND PRINCIPLES.
 IF IT IS WELL PLANNED, CONDUCTED AND FOLLOWED , CAN
BE USEFUL APPROACH IN TEACHING.
 THE DEMONSTRATION AIDS IN BRINGING ABOUT A
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE THEORY AND PRACTICE.

24. DISADVANTAGES
 ALL CONTENT CAN NOT BE COVERED
 ALL STUDENTS CANNOT SEE
 ALL STUDENTS CAN NOT PARTICIPATE
 LOW THINKING IN FAST DEMONSTRATION
 NO REHEARSAL

25. CONT…..
 USEFUL ONLY FOR SKILL SUBJECTS
 NO DISCUSSION
 SCARCITY OF EQUIPMENT
 LACK SINCERITY

26. DRAWBACKS
MAJOR DRAWBACKS OF THIS METHOD ARE THAT:
 THIS IS NOT BASED ON “LEARNING BY DOING”.
 IT IS NOT CHILD CENTERED.
 LEAVES NO SCOPE FOR INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES.

27. SUGGESTIONS
THE TEACHER SHOULD BE SINCERE, DILIGENT AND SKILLED
PERSON.
PLAN DEMONSTRATION IN GREAT AND REHEARSE.
TEACHER SHOULD HERSELF/HIMSELF PREPARE THE MODELS
FOR DEMONSTRATION AND ENCOURAGE THE LEARNERS TOO.
PROCEED WITH THE DEMONSTRATION SLOWLY SO THAT ALL
THE PUPILS MAY EASILY GRASP THE DETAILS.

28. CONT….
 WHENEVER POSSIBLE, INVOLVE, STUDENTS IN THE
INFORMATION.
 MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE MATERIALS ARE NEARBY WHEN
THE DEMONSTRATION BEGINS.
 VERBAL EXPLANATIONS SHOULD HEIGHTENS THE INTEREST
AND INCREASE LEARNING.
 A TEACHER MUST HAVE THE ABILITY TO USE AUDIO-VISUAL
AIDS WITH EXPERTISE.

29. CONCLUSION
I CONCLUDED THAT
DEMONSTRATION IS A METHOD OF PRESENTATION OF
SKILLS WHICH SHOWS HOW A PARTICULAR PROCEDURE IS
PERFORMED. STUDENTS ARE ACTIVE IN THIS METHOD. IT
IS MOST COMMONLY USED IN “SCIENCE AND FINE ARTS”.
IT IS VISIBLE TO ALL STUDENTS. IT IS A LOW COST
METHOD. ALL STUDENTS CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN THIS
METHOD. IT REQUIRES PLANNING IN ADVANCE.
