LB# 10 : Dempnstration in Teaching

The word "Demonstration" is commonly used in the field of teaching. A Teacher who's not that good in demonstration will not be very effective in presenting his/her lessons. It is of paramount importance for a teacher to be a good demonstrator, for it will be very useful in handling a class. For instance, if a teacher is going to teach his/her students how to use the computer, if she/her couldn't demonstrate the steps on using the computer well, it would be very hard on the part of the students to absorb the things that their teacher is saying.

According to Edgar Dale, there are three (3) guiding principles in using demonstration as a teaching-learning experience and they are as follows: 

1. Establish rapport - Making the learners comfortable by keeping the demonstration and yourself interesting to sustain their attention. 
2. Avoid COIK fallacy (Clear Only If Known) - It is always important for a teacher to assume that his/her students know nothing about the lesson for him to be very thorough, clear, and detailed in his demonstration. 
3. Watch for Key points - it is the part of the discussion where the students will have some difficulties and which will be cleared and explained by the teacher.

LB# 9 : Teaching with Dramatized Experiences

Why is it important to have a dramatic way in teaching?

As what is written in the book, having a dramatic teaching can make the students attracted, interested ad affected. It means that there is an impact on the student's part which is very important in teaching. Why? Because, if the students are interested, attracted and affected by the lesson being presented, the students most likely will not forget the lesson for it has an impact in their lives. 

What are the examples of these Dramatized Experiences in Teaching?

The examples that can be found in the book are the following: 

• Formal Plays - portraying vividly important ideas about life. 
• Pageants - community dramas based on local history.
• Pantomime - conveying a story with body movements only. 
• Tableau - a picture-like scene composed of people against a background. 

And the most commonly used is the Puppet which is very useful in a classroom because it is quite entertaining and can also improve the creativity of the students in the sense that they will be the makers of their own puppet and they will be ones to act as speakers and manipulators of the figures..
