Demonstration in Teaching
Demonstration involves showing by reason or proof, explaining or making clear by use of examples or experiments. Put more simply, demonstration means to clearly show.In teaching through demonstration, students are set up to potentially
conceptualize class material more effectively as shown in a study which
specifically focuses on chemistry demonstrations presented by teachers.
Demonstrations often occur when students have a hard time connecting
theories to actual practice or when students are unable to understand
application of theories.
Demonstrations are valuable tools for teaching both concrete techniques
(skills) and abstract concepts (principles). A good demonstration
permits a student to learn by observation, a skill we use innately when
learning to talk, walk, and even clap our hands. They can be used to
teach techniques like conducting a counseling session, using a computer
program, o r drawing blood for analysis
