In this session sir taught us about demonstration strategy where sir demonstrated on how to make a paper boat. Then we were asked to try by ourselves by following sir's instruction. After that we discussed about the topic demonstration and learned the followings:
Demonstration Strategy
What is demonstration?
- An act of showing something by giving proof or evidence.
- An instance of somebody showing and explaining how something works.
What is demonstration method/strategy?
- Demonstration method is a visual approach to examining information, ideas and processes.
- It is a teaching method that allows students too see the teacher actively engaged as a learner and a model rather than merely telling them what they need to know.
Purpose
Teacher: Demonstration strategy allows learners to view a real or lifelike example of a skill or a procedure to be learned.
Student: Demonstration strategy allows the students to demonstrate mastery of a skills or procedure learned.
- To stimulate interest in a particular topic.
- T illustrate points efficiently.
- To provide a change of pace.
- Lack of equipment.
- Time constraint.
- Risky experiments.
Procedure
- Carefully plan the demonstration.
- Practice the demonstration.
- Develop an outline to guide the demonstration.
- Make sure everyone can see the demonstration.
- Introduce the demonstration to focus attention.
- Ask and encourage questioning.
- Plan a follow up to the demonstration.
Advantages:
- Seeing before doing: Benefit from seeing before having to do.
- Task guidance: Can be guided step by step.
- Economy of supplies: Less supplies needed because not everyone needs to handle material.
- Safety: Allows teacher to control potentially dangerous materials or machinery instead of students.
- Not hands-on: Not a direct hands on experience for student unless being lead step by step.
- Limited view: Students may not have an equal view of demonstration, so some may miss an aspect of the demonstration.
- Pacing issue: Not all students will be able to follow single paced demonstration.
