TECHNIQUES OF
DEMONSTRATION
1. PLANNING 2.
PERFORMING
3.EVALUATION
1.PLANNING
The teacher plans the
demonstration beforehand.She
prepares
Articles and steps of demonstration
learning environment
Steps of demonstration
Rehearsals to attain proficiency in
doing the procedure
Student participation
2.PERFORMING
During performing following steps
should be used:
The teacher should proceed from
whole to parts
Explain about each article in relation
to its
definition,use,purpose,disadvantages
,etc.
Each step should be understandable
by the students and explain scientific
3. EVALUATION
The teacher should evaluate her
teaching to ensure that student
have learned the skill
appropriately.
This can be done by asking
questions from the students to
assess their learning and
comparing the steps of procedure
with the planned set criteria of
procedure.
AIMS OF DEMONSTRATION
METHOD
To demonstrate experiments and use
of experimental equipments in the
laboratory,classroom and ward
To teach the patient a procedure to
carry out at home
To achieve psychomotor and
cognitive domain
To enhance the learning of a student
ADVANTAGES OF
DEMONSTRATION
Can be presented to a large group
