Chapter 6:  Instructing  & Demonstrating

Students must have learned to pay attention first

Instructing = providing information by talking

Organizational instruction = what to do, with whom, where, and with what equipment

Informational instruction = how to do

          4 guidelines: 

                1.  one idea at a time

                2.  keep it brief

                3.  develop a reminder word or phrase

                4.  adapt/correct based on observation

 

Demonstrating

1.  Location is important
2.  Whole or part – start with whole, then break it down
3.  Normal speed, then slow

Have students do the demonstration if you can’t

1.  Check for understanding
   1.  Recognition check – did I do it right?
   2.  Verbal check – students identify the concept you are teaching
   3.  Comprehension check – ask students to explain the concept
   4.  Performance check
   5.  Closure – review

Analyze how much time is spent managing, activity, instruction, waiting

Pinpoint – select 1 or 2 students to demonstrate their correct skill

Play – Teach – Play:  play, then teach to enhance play, then play again

Use video and CD for instruction
