    The demonstration method involves a teacher or student showing how a process is done while other students observe. It is often used when students struggle to apply theories in practice. There are three types: pure demonstration using only visuals; demonstration with commentary adding verbal explanation; and participative demonstration allowing students to replicate parts of the demonstration. Effective demonstration requires planning, clear verbal explanations, opportunities for student questions, and allowing students to practice the skills demonstrated.

    Demonstration

    Method
    • Demonstration means any planned
    performance of an occupation skill, scientific
    principle or experiment.
    • In the demonstration method the teacher or
    an assigned student or group shows how a
    process is done while the students become
    observers.
    • Demonstration often occurs when students
    have a hard time connecting theories to actual
    practice or when students are unable to
    understand applications of theories.
    Verbal Explanation + Live Display
    = Demonstration
    • In order to make a success of demonstration
    method, three things are necessary.
    – The object being displayed during demonstration
    should not be so small.
    – During the demonstration, the clear language
    should be used so that pupils may understand
    concept easily.
    – The pupils should be able to question teachers in
    order to remove their difficulties.
