"Demonstration Method, Lecture and Meta-cognition"

This topic was reported by Ms. Arcelyn Villaver, there are three method of teachings that she discussed there are the demonstration method, lecture method and Meta-cognition Teaching method.

                These are the methods that usually used by the teachers. In selecting our methods in teaching we should put into our mind that this method was suited to our lessons and can really understand what we are talking about.

                As a future teacher, the best  method that was suitable to used was the demonstration method. Why? It is because we are teaching computer subject. And therefore, it is more on demonstration. In applying these method consider the (5) five steps in demonstration methods which are the purposing, planning, demonstration proper, executing and evaluation.It is one of  the good method  that in order the students to  acquire learning. Remember that in using the method don’t be too fast, and be sensitive on the behavior  and movements of your students as you presenting your demonstration

Lecture Method is the old type of method use in teaching, in other words,  this method is a traditional wherein the teacher’s task is to discuss his/her topic to the class. During this period the students usually got bored. As a teacher we should find techniques that we can catch the attention our students and they will be eager to listen while you are having your discussion.

Meta-Cognition is a process which includes planning, monitoring one’s own thoughts; problem solving, making decisions and evaluating one’s thought process. It is beyond our critical thinking. As a teacher we should have a broad knowledge regarding our lessons that in able the students can understand what you are talking about. Because if you don’t mastered your topic and you are hesitant the way you teach. Therefore, the students will never believe you. Remember that you are teacher not students.
