What is a Demonstration Method/Strategy?
·
Demonstration method is a visual approach to
examining information, ideas and processes. It is also a teaching method that
allows students to see the teacher actively engaged as a learner and a model
rather than merely telling them what they need to know.

of a skill or a procedure to be learned
