The document discusses and compares the laboratory method and demonstration method. The laboratory method involves students performing experiments themselves to give them firsthand experience. It aims to develop students' skills in using lab equipment. In contrast, the demonstration method involves a teacher performing an experiment while students observe. It is used to teach skills efficiently by showing all necessary steps. The key difference is that the laboratory method uses student participation through "learning by doing" while the demonstration method relies on observation.

AND
DEMONSTRATION
METHOD

3. LABORATORY METHOD
 Used to designate a teaching procedure in the physical
sciences that uses experimentation with apparatus.
 Teaching procedure dealing with firsthand experiences
regarding materials or facts obtained from investigation
or experiment.

4. AIMS
LABORATORY METHOD
By John Walton (1996)
1. To give firsthand experience in the
laboratory which may increase
student interest.
2. To provide student participation in
original research.
3. To develop skill in the use of
laboratory equipment and

5. TYPES
LABORATORY METHOD
1. EXPERIMENTAL – aims to train pupils in
problem solving with incidental acquisition of
information and motor skills.
2. OBSERVATIONAL – the acquisition of facts is
the dominant aim of the method.

LABORATORY METHOD
Risk (1965) gives the following steps:
 INTRODUCTORY STEP- determination of the
work to be done.
 WORK PERIOD- determine the length of the
work period.
 CULMINATING ACTIVITIES – (next slide)

8.  CULMINATING ACTIVITIES
Explaining the nature and importance of the
problem the group had worked on.
 Reporting data gathered or other findings.
 Presenting illustrative material or special
contributions.
 Exhibiting various projects and explanation by
their sponsors.

9. ADVANTAGES
(LABORATORY METHOD)
1. It is learning by doing.
2. Impressions through several senses make
learning more effective.
3. Undergoing actual experience.
4. It is a direct preparation for life.

10. DISADVANTAGES
LABORATORY METHOD
1. It is an uneconomical way of learning.
2. It becomes mechanical at times.
3. Expensive apparatus.
4. Loss of time occurs.

12. DEMONSTRATION
METHOD
 Widely used to teach students how to use
equipment and materials, rhythm and musical
instruments and others.
 Use to develop skills. Recommended for
teaching a skill because it covers all the
necessary steps in an effective learning order.

13. AIMS
DEMONSTRATION METHOD
1. To teach a skill, concept or principle
2. To demonstrate delicate and
dangerous works involving careful
manipulation.
3. To let teachers participate in
demonstration classrooms to help
improve their own teaching

14. TYPES
DEMONSTRATION METHOD
1. EXPOSITORY – designed to impart
information directly or to illustrate a skill as
students observe.
2. QUESTING – designed to foster discovery of
a concept or its application.

16. ADVANTAGES
DEMONSTRATION METHOD
1. It follows a systematic procedure.
2. Possible wastage of time, effort and
resources will be avoided.
3. It will not result to trial and error.
4. Curiosity and keen observing ability are
instilled.

17. DISADVANTAGES
DEMONSTRATION METHOD
1. Tends to foster passiveness and teacher-
dependence on the part of the students.
2. Becomes a failure when the number of
students is greater.
3. It needs a lot of time for instructions and
demonstration.
4. It requires a knowledgable and expert
demonstrator.

18. DIFFERENCE OF BOTH
METHODS
The chief difference between the two
is that in the laboratory method, all
the learners perform the experiment
and “learning by doing”. In the
demonstration method, the teacher
does the experiment while the class
observes.
