Which is the last stage of the lecture demonstration method?

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. There are six steps of the demonstration process:

• Planning and preparation: Proper planning is required for a good demonstration. For this following points should be kept in mind.
  • lesson planning
  • collection of material related to the demonstration.
  • rehearsal of demonstration.

In order to ensure the success of the demonstration, the teacher should prepare lesson minutely and very seriously.

• Introducing the lesson: The teacher should motivate students and prepare them mentally for the demonstration. The teacher should introduce the lesson to students keeping in mind the following things.
  • Individual differences
  • Environment
  • Experiences

The lesson can also be started with some simple and interesting experiments, very common event or some internal story. The experiment should be able to hold the attention of students.

• Presentation of subject matter:
  • In demonstration presentation of subject matter is very important.
  • The principle of reflecting thinking should be kept in mind.
  • The teacher should teach the student in such a way that their previous knowledge can be attached to their new knowledge.
• Demonstration:
  • The performance in the demonstration table should be ideal for the student.
  • The demonstration should be neat and clean.
• Teaching Aids: The teacher can use various teaching aids like models, blackboard, graphs etc.during demonstration.
• Evaluation: In this last step, the evaluation of the whole demonstration should be done, so that it can be made more effective.

Hence, we conclude that evaluation is the last stage of demonstration method.
