Characteristics, strengths & weaknesses - Demonstration
Demonstration is an important and effective method used specifically for the acquisition of skills, e.g. composting and water-quality monitoring. It requires the demonstrator to be competent and confident in showing and communicating all aspects of the skill that the target group is later expected to emulate.
Good demonstration requires the ability to break down the skill into its various components so the target group can practise the components effectively.
