What should you as a teacher take care of, while using demonstration method of teaching and learning? I. Ask reflective questions to stimulate the interest of the students. II. Ensure that demonstration is simple and according to the mental level of the students. Correct Answer Both I and II
Demonstration Method: The word demonstration means to give demos or to perform a particular activity or concept. In demonstration method, the teaching-learning process is carried in a systematic way. Demonstration often occurs when students have a hard time connecting theories to actual practice or when students are unable to understand applications of theories. One needs to take care of the following aspects in demonstration method:
- Do tell the purpose of the demonstration to the students but do not tell the inferences or conclusions in advance.
- Seek the help of students in arranging, and performing the experiment. Quality of demonstration is better when you along with your students actively participate in it.
- Be well versed in the handling of apparatus and arrange those for the demonstration in a definite order which the students can clearly observe.
- Check that the demonstration is clearly visible to all students in the class.
- Ensure that the demonstration is simple and according to the mental level of the students.
- Supplement the demonstration with other teaching aids to make it more real and interesting.
- Ask reflective questions to stimulate the interest of the students.
Hence, we conclude that both points are correct.
