14. Direct Method of
Instruction
Since TLE is a skill subject, direct instruction
is most appropriate. The demonstration
method is a direct method of instruction. It
is referred to as the “show and tell” method.
The teacher simply shows to the students
how a thing is done and explains as he/she
demonstrate. For an effective
demonstrations, it is necessary that the
teacher mentions the dos and don’ts of the
process for emphasis and clarity. It is
important that as a teacher demonstrates a
process, he/she cautious students on steps
of a skill where students are most often
mistaken or which are most often missed.

15. It is expected that after the teacher demonstrate of a process, the students are given the
opportunity to demonstrate the process or the skill themselves. However, students should not
expected to demonstrate the process or the skill immediately on their own after the teacher
has shown it. This has to be done gradually, The steps are:
 Teacher demonstrates. – “Watch me and listen to me”.
 Students demonstrates with scaffolding from teacher. – “Let’s do it together”.
 When students can do the process by himself/herself, student demonstrate the skill or process. – “Do it
as I watch”.
 Teacher gives more opportunity for the practice for skill mastery. Teachers assesses to determine skill
mastery by all students.
