Effective Teaching Method: Demonstration in Education
Demonstration method is an essential teaching approach where educators visually explain concepts to students, making learning engaging and clear. This method involves presenting facts, theories, or processes in a visual format, helping students grasp complex content easily. To conduct a successful demonstration, teachers need to maintain audience interest, ensure clarity, and conclude with a summary. Through effective demonstrations, educators can stimulate students' minds and facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.

The process of interpreting the world of knowledge to pupil s mind. The way to reach terminal behaviour from entering behaviour
Criteria for selection of Method What to teach ? Whom to teach ?. Which Method would be most suitable ?. Limitations of The Method How to teach ? Why to teach ?
INTRODUCTION There are various methods of teaching. One of the most effective methods of teaching skill is Demonstration method. An act of showing someone how something is used or done or an act of showing or proving something.
Verbal Explanation +Live Display/Use of Apparatus = Demonstration
Demonstration Method (Concept ) Demonstration is to present any scientific event in It s visual form. Demonstration method is a method in which any fact , theory ,rule , creation or work process is explained in visual form. Demonstration is a process to demonstrate the procedure of an experiment This method is very effective . Students can understand the complex content very easily. This method mainly follows the Maxim Concrete to Abstract . Teacher explains the content very easily with the help of chart, Model ,and by organizing experiments related to topic.
Procedure of Demonstration To make demonstration more useful and effective teachers should keep the following things in mind:--- Get and sustain the interest of your audience. Keep your demonstration table at proper place so that it is visible to the entire class. Keep your demonstration simple, focused ,and clear. Check the understanding in the process of demonstration. Facts ,principles, and abstract parts related to demonstration should be well explained. Conclude with summary. Handout written material at the end of the demonstration . Neither hurry nor drag out the demonstration.
Preperation & planning by the teacher Introduction of the lesson Presentation of lesson Demonstration of experiment Black board work and summary Supervision of the class and recording major points Evaluation of the Demonstration
Preparations and planning by the Teacher Determining the objectives of experimentation/ demonstration.. . Preparation of lesson plan Proper arrangement of apparatus and materials related to Demonstration Rehearsal of Demonstration Time Management for the Demonstration.

Wastage of time, effort and resource will be avoided, since the demonstration is well planned in advance. The value of confidence is developed among the demonstrators for such hand on demonstrations. Activates several senses and visibly showing a process. Complex skills become more understandable. Correlates theory and practice. Provides observational learning. Cognitive abilities of the students are developed. Provides observational learning. Teaching becomes more effective and interesting.
Demerits of Demonstration Method This method is based on the principles of listen , see and understand. No direct involvement of students Increases teachers work load.
