Demonstration Performance Method 07 Flashcards
Proven method for teaching mental or physical skills that require student practice for skill mastery
Demo-Performance
A combination of the demonstration presentation method, which protrays a sequence of events to show a procedure, technique or operation, and the performance knowledge application mehod, which has the student interact with the thing he/she will use on the job to attain training objectives
Demo-Performance
Demo-Perf not reccomended
as a primary means of imparting cognitive (knowledge) or affective (attitudinal) learning. Demo is not very efficient in transmitting purely knowledge.
According to AFMAN 36-2236, 4 phases of Demo-Perf
-Explanation-Demonstration-Supervised Performance-Evaluation
Explanation
-This is the most often overlooked part of Demo-Perf lessons-This is where the suporting or enabling knowledge surrounding a task or skill is transmitted
Key to effective explanation
CommunicationThe language used is important; instructors should speak at the level of the learner and avoid unnecessary jargon and technical terms that are over the ehads of the students
The instructor show the student how to do the skill
Demonstration phase
Demonstration
It is very timportant that the instructor demonstrate the skill correctly and safely the first timeThe skill should be demonstrated in the same sequence in which it was explained
Supervised Performance
This can also be called practiceIn performing motor or mental skill, the importance of practice cannot be over-emphasized.Practice without feedback tot he student about the quality of the practice performance can be worse than no practice at all.
EvaluationKey factors
What to Measure- Analysis of objectives should identify what should be mearsued, list tasks to be performed.Testing Level-The level of testing proficiency should correlate with the stated level of learning for that portion.Test Length-Adequate coverage of the objective is the major factor in determining the size of the test requiredSelection and Arrangement of Test Items- For performance testing, the should follow the same pattern as the other parts of training.
Accoring to AFMAN 36-2234,Essential Conditions for Effective Learning
PracticeFeedbackSupervision
Essential Conditions for Effective Learning
Practice- People learn by doing/practiceFeedback- have some way of finding out whether or not the students practice is correct, so the student can take corrective action if needed.Supervision- Aviod letting the student engage in trial-and-error learning; once mistakes have been practiced and learned, they are difficult to unlearn.
Factors to ConsiderAFMAN 36-2236, Demo Perf
Lesson Content- Demo perf best for mental or physical skills, but not recommended for congnitive (knowledge) or affectieve (attitudinal) lessons.Evaluation- The objective dictates the evaulation procedureStudent/Instructor Relationship- Instructors must recognize that students learn differently, give as much or as little assistance to each.Time- The majority of time in a Demo-Perf lesson should be devoted to supervised practice
Factors to ConsiderAFMAN 36-2236, Demo PerfCont..
Equipment and Materials- Instr should have all equipment/handouts prior to lesson start.Student role- Many skill cannot be performed on an individual basis and teams or partners must be assigned.Group Size- Ensure all can see demo, and group must be small enough for instr to effectively supervise.Instructor Expertise- Considerable proficiency in the skill being demonstrated is critical to the success of this method.
Intorduction Demo Perf-Serve several purposes
Establish a common ground between the instructor and studentsCapture and hold attentionOutine the lessonPoint out benefits to the studentLead into the lesson content
