4. Demonstrations:

Purpose: To allow participants to witness a procedure or an act. This demonstration can then be practiced by participants and supervised by the trainer.

Description: A demonstration brings to life some information that has been presented in a lecture, discussion, or explanation. For example, a discussion of a particular training technique may not be as effective as a direct demonstration of that technique that participants can both experience and/or apply themselves.

Process:

a. Trainer explains the purpose of the demonstration.
b. Trainer demonstrates procedure or new behavior.
c. Participants ask questions, engage in discussion.
d. Participants practice with trainer/peer supervision.
