2. Effective Demonstration Advantages
1) Demonstration can be used to teach
skills that are accessible to all types of
learners e.g. kinaesthetic
2) When people learn form demonstration
they can pick up the actions and
movements which aren't available from
just being told verbally
3) Also learners are able to use the
technique that has been shown to them
and which allows the correct technique
to be seen and then put into practice
4) Encourages peer learning
5) Allows the coach to use other students
to demonstrate the technique which
promotes confidence in the other
students
3. Rugby Demonstration
Posotive: Coach is using a
member of the tam to
demonstrate a technique
Negative: The position of
the coach and performer
the rest of the team may
not be able to see the
technique and therefore it
could be practiced with
the incorrecttechnqiue
4. Disadvantages of Demonstrating
1) The technique could be overcomplicated
which makes the demonstration hard to
understand
2) Incorrect technique demonstrated which is
then picked up by the performers
3) Oral discussion about the technique may be
discouraged
4) The practical session that is taking place
may not be appropriate for the
demonstration technique
5) May be hard for the teacher to demonstrate
the technique as well as explain it
6) The position of the coach in this picture
shows a bad demonstration because the
swimmers can only see the front of his y not
his arms and his body which he is using to
demonstrate the front crawl breathing
technique.
