   Demonstration in Teaching


    Demonstration is showing how things are done and emphasizing pf the salient merits, utility efficiency of the concept, a method, or a process or an attitude. It is indeed necessary to have demonstration on teaching in order for the students to learn effectively. Students will understand more and will always remember the steps if given the steps are shown to them. Most probably, your learners will become more motivated and interested in your lesson. They won't get bored.
   
     In demonstrating, it is important to remember that, there should be an audience, a process of speaking, and a process of showing a method of how things are done. Demonstration not only focuses on showing how things are done, but they can be used in showing a product inorder to convince people to buy that certain product.

      Before engaging in a demonstration, we must be sure that we already planned ahead and that we are prepared in delivering in a demonstration. We must have a clear objective in mind in order for us to know where
we are heading. We must consider our learners, their type and other factors necessary for us to know the effective method to be used. Remember that we ought to teach our students the best, so we must do everything we can. Afterall students were learning from us.

           Teaching with Dramatized Experience


In our teaching, it is also necessary to be dramatic in giving our lesson to the students. This will help you to capture the interest of your learner, that they will not be bored but rather feel excited in going in to your class. It is said that it holds attention and has a great impact emotionally, which I believe is true. Being dramatic inside the helps the learner to understand better. Those what we taught them cannot be easily forgotten for it is as though they are part of it, for they participate in it...

     Contrived Experiences



   As i have learned in this lesson, in contrived experiences we make use of a representative models or mock ups of reality when it is not possible to bring in the classroom. It is very helpful specially to the students for them to understand better a certain thing. It is not enough telling the students what a certain object is like. It is better if they will see a model that would represent it in the best way.

    for instance, showing the student what a world is like. Of course it is very impossible for you to bring the world to the class. IN order for them to see what the world is like, you will bring a globe(representation of the world). You will let them discover different places, their distance to one another, their location, their geography and many others. Students would not find it difficult and they will learn more and it is exciting to them too. Ther are may other ways of making use of these contrived experiences.


      As future teacher, one must know the different contrived experiences to be able to use to students for better and effective learning process.
