Types of Demonstration: Guidelines For Its Effective Use Before

Demonstration is a teaching method that uses visual aids like posters and PowerPoint to communicate an idea in a step-by-step process. There are three types: pure demonstration using only visuals; demonstration with commentary combining visual and verbal instruction; and participative demonstration allowing students to replicate parts of the demonstration. Effective demonstration requires careful planning, preparation of materials and students, performing the demonstration smoothly without interruptions, and allowing questions afterward to assess learning. The key advantages are providing a systematic procedure, maximizing equipment use, avoiding wasted time and resources, developing confidence, and cultivating curiosity.

how to make or do something in a step-by-step process.
Types of Demonstration
1. Pure Demonstration - Purely visual method of instruction
2. Demonstration with commentary - Harmonious blend of visual and verbal modes of instruction
3. Participative Demonstration - Allows students to attempt either to replicate all or parts of
demonstrations

GUIDELINES FOR ITS EFFECTIVE USE


BEFORE
1. The demonstrator/s must be well-selected.
2. The materials are easily available.
3. Get ready with the equipment and tools to be used.
4. The demonstrator must try the activity several times before the real demonstrations for a smooth
sequencing of the steps as well as accuracy of the result.
5. The observers must be prepared and motivated.
6. The demonstrator must be ready with on- the-spot revision/s.
7. Arrange the observers around the demonstration area or at a distance where they will be able to
observe fully what is going on.
8. Pointers or questions may be given to focus students’ attention and avoid irrelevant observations.
DURING
1. The place must be quiet.
2.Extreme care must be taken in performing some delicate steps.
3.The activity must not be interrupted.
4.They are allowed to take down short notes or record some data.
AFTER
1. Allow some questions.
2. An examination of the observed data and all information recorded follows.
3. Have an analysis of trends, patterns or uniform occurrences that can help in arriving at a
conclusion.
4. Assess learning.

Advantages
1. The demonstration method follows a systematic procedure.
2. The use of expensive equipment and machines will be maximized.
3. Possible wastage of time, effort and resources will be avoided since the demonstration is supposed
to be well- planned in advance.
4. It will not result to trial and error learning
