Lesson 10: Teaching Demonstrations


  Demonstration is the fourth in Dale’s Cone of Experiences. It is the process of showing the methods on how something is done. Yet, it is very handy. Unlike the dramatized experiences, it requires not much of elaborate preparation and yet executes effectiveness just like any other instructional materials when done properly.
  Demonstration is also one of the most widely used in teaching. 





 To conduct a good demonstration, the teacher must be accompanied by some visuals. The demonstrator must also consider guiding principles, planning, and organizing his/her demonstration beforehand. This is to avoid inefficiency. You can also use some questioning techniques or certain activities and a good sense of humor that can catch attention and motivate your students to learn. Sometimes, boredom strikes to the students if you do not show enthusiasm.
