A third teacher-centered teaching tool is a demonstration. Preparation for a demonstration is similar to that of a lecture.
- Select a topic for a demonstration
- Create a series of stepwise instructions and a list of required equipment
- Gather equipment before the class session
- At the beginning of the demonstration, the teacher may engage the class in a discussion to predict the expected outcome
- The instructor should ensure that all students are positioned to visualize the demonstration clearly.
- After the demonstration, students should reflect on the outcome. The discussion may be conducted in small groups, culminating with a large group discussion, or collectively in a large group.
- The teacher should summarize the entire experience with feedback at the end of the class session.
