 Teaching

• The teaching skills are defined as a

group of teaching acts or behaviors
intended to facilitate students
learning directly or indirectly
 Teaching
• It is a set of interrelated
activities which are performed
by a teacher in the classroom….
• Activities- various skills & abilities
Microteaching

• It is used purely for helping the

teacher to improve his/her
teaching skills and not as a tool
for making a value judgment of
his/her teaching capacity by his/
her superiors …
Microteaching-features
• Re-teach session
• Time - 5 to 10 min.
• Group- peer group (10 to 12)
• One skill at a time (Teach-Re teach)
• Content free
• Observation by peer & Expert
• Feedback by peer & Expert

 Demonstration Skill
• A demonstration is a showing.
• Showing of a skill or procedure is demonstration.
Verbal Explanation + Live display/
Use of apparatus
= DEMONSTRATION
Demonstration is an act of showing something by
giving proof or evidence.
Demonstration Skill
• An instance of some body showing
and explaining how something works
or is done
Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary

• The demonstrations may be set up on

a demonstration table which is usually
kept in an elevated place so that all
can closely watch the demonstration.
 Demonstration Skill
• It is an activity or process of teaching
involving the showing of specimens or
experiments to explain and describe the
concerned concept, idea, teaching point
etc., in the teaching learning process.
• This process makes the subject
matter concrete with the real life
satiations.
• The demonstration in teaching
makes learning simpler and
meaningful to the learning.
Why Demonstration?
• To stimulate interest in a
particular topic
• To illustrate points efficiently
• To provide change of pace
• To provide model for teaching
specific skill
• To overcome resource constraints
Aims of Demonstration
• To teach a skill, concept or principle
• To demonstrate delicate work
involving careful manipulations
• To achieve psychomotor and
cognitive objectives
Principles in Demonstration

• Learning by Observation
• Learning by by imitation
•The perception helps in imitation
Role of Teacher
• The role of teacher is the demonstrator
• He is concerned that the learner
understands the logical step-by-step
procedures in doing the job, the
principles that apply, and the related
information
• The presenter shows how a process is
done while the students become
observers
- the best way to teach "how" is to
"show how"
Process of Demonstration
• Orient the learners to the demonstration.
• Show the learners, if possible, what
the demonstration is to produce or
achieve.
• Show and describe the equipment
and materials to be used.
• Emphasize safety.
• Give the demonstration.
• Summarize as needed.
 Demonstration Skill…
• Learning is of two types
1. Self learning
2. Learning through teaching
• Teaching of content knowledge,
development of skills among the
students.
• Concrete and abstract concept in content.
• Demonstration Skill is useful for
effective teaching.
Demonstration Skill...
• Demonstration is mainly
useful in teaching Science
subjects
• Forms, Characteristics, Rules,
Principles, Laws, structure, System,
Process, Phenomenon etc.
• Without demonstration such
concept categories are difficult to
understand.
Demonstration Skill...
• Other than Science Subject we can
use demonstration-
• Mathematics, Geography,
• Languages- Writing,
Reading, Communication,
Pronunciation
• Physical Education,
• Drawing, Singing, Dancing etc.
 Advantages of Demonstration
1. Increase understanding of students.
2. Provide direction to the observation of
the students.
3. Students imitate the act of teacher and learn.
4. Saves time and money.
5. Create interest in teaching.
6. Students take the experience.
7. It increase the reliability of the content.
8. More convenient and practical than
the experiment method.
9. It develops curiosity and scientific
attitude among the students.
Advantages of Demonstration...
10. It increases the experience of the students.
11. Research attitude of students increases.
12. It develops Observation skills and
Experimentation skills within the
students.
13. Involves various senses that make
learning permanent
14. Teacher invites cooperation of pupils
15. Develop interest and motivation for
active participation
16. Helps achieve psychomotor objectives
Limitations of Demonstration
• Demonstration can only be used in
skills subject
• Only the attention of the learners is
invited towards the activity
demonstrated.
• Due to poor economic condition of
the government schools, there is
scarcity of equipment therefore
demonstration can not be used.
• Can not used for all subjects and
all content of the subject.
Tips for effective
Demonstration
An effective demonstration should be given in
a minimum of time--no longer than about 15
minutes.
The presenter should be aware of the
activities of each member of the class.
If a number of learners are having difficulty in
learning a skill, the demonstration should be
repeated.
The learners who have mastered the skill may
assist the presenter with those who have not
Components of
Demonstration skill
1. Appropriate Topic, Concepts, Ideas
and Teaching Points
2. Sequence, Order of Presentation
3. Adequacy of Manipulative Skill
4. Creation of Appropriate Situation
5. Generalization
Components of
Demonstration skill
1. Appropriate Topic
(Concepts, Ideas and Teaching Points)
It should be Appropriate to the
Topic, Concepts, Ideas and Teaching
Points.
2.Sequence, Order of Presentation
The sequential procedure in presentation
of materials, Apparatus, Chemicals, Specimens
should arrange sequentially which leads in
better presentation and learning.
3.Adequacy of Manipulative Skill
In the demonstration handling the
apparatus, Chemicals, Specimens requires skills
Components of
Demonstration skill
4. Creation of Appropriate Situation
In the demonstration process appropriate
physical situation with proper aids,
instruments, diagrams, gestures etc., should
convey the idea appropriately.
5.Generalization
Whenever the demonstration comes to
an end, the teacher should conclude the
theory and frame a rule or a principle.
