Demonstration as a Demonstration as a Teaching StrategyTeaching Strategy

DemonstrationDemonstration
The basic, and most often used, method of instruction for teaching skill-type subjects is the demonstration method. It covers all of the steps your students need to learn a skill in an effective learning sequence. This method always includes a demonstration step and a performance step and allows you to use other steps as needed. Demonstrations become more effective when verbalization accompanies them. It is a generally accepted learning theory that the greater the degree of active participation and sensory involvement by the learner, the more effective learning will be.
Jean PiagetJean PiagetThe concept of cognitive structure is central
to his theory. Cognitive structures are patterns of physical or mental action that underlie specific acts of intelligence and correspond to stages of child development.
There are four primary cognitive structures (i.e., development stages) according to Piaget: 1) sensorimotor- exploration through the senses an instrumental piece of
demonstration 2)pre-operations- develop communication skills 3)concrete operations-ability to reason
4)formal operations-abstract thinking
Piaget explored the implications of his theory to all aspects of cognition, intelligence and moral development.
Piaget’s theory demonstrates that learning is multisensory
Demonstration is a learning style that is multisensory
Applying Demonstration Applying Demonstration to a Teaching Situationto a Teaching Situation
Generational diversity- nurse educators are charged with teaching a population whose learning styles differ.. Skills taught by demonstration help to level the teaching field
Nurse competenciesClinical skills of staff and Nursing

Appropriate Settings for Appropriate Settings for Demonstration TeachingDemonstration TeachingSmall number of people in
classroom… will need space and time for return demonstration
One on onePatient room, or lounge where
patient feels comfortable without feeling intimidated
Outpatient classroom, keeping respect to small numbers
Advantages -Demonstrations....Utilize several senses; students can
see, hear, and possibly experience an actual event
Stimulate interestPresent ideas and concepts more
clearlyProvide direct experiencesReinforce learningReinforce previous learned
informationIntrigues the learner
Disadvantages -Demonstrations...
May failTimely preparationMay limit participationMay limit audience/client inputRequire pre-preparationStep by step phases may happen
to fast or may not be able to repeat
Ways to Adapt the Strategy Ways to Adapt the Strategy if Necessaryif NecessaryBe prepared- prepare for the
unexpectedBe aware of your students
learner stylesBreak for questions throughout Practice the demonstration prior
to allow for accommodationsMultiple demonstration stations if
possible
Evaluating the Effectiveness Evaluating the Effectiveness of Demonstrationof DemonstrationReturn demonstration-
carried out by the
learnerShould be done as close as
possible to when the demonstration was given
Teacher should remain silent, they can coax or give cues as needed
ConclusionConclusionLearning styles are unique to all people.
Because there are deep learners and surface learners, demonstration as a teaching method is useful as it will engage both types of learners. The more senses involved in a learning situation, the better knowledge will be assimilated. Therefore when evaluating the learner through return demonstration, the learner will demonstrate a more confident and stronger ability to perform.
