Use of Demonstrations in Dairy Science Teaching

University of Minnesota, St. Paul

ABSTRACT

The demonstration has been employed for many years as an aid in teaching. It is effectively used by the teachers of chemistry, physics, engineering, and medicine. Industry has made the demonstration a serviceable tool in employee training and in sales. It is used at all levels of teaching. The grade teacher finds it a forceful way of impressing the pupil with certain basic principles and facts. The high school has made use of the demonstration in teaching science courses.

In 1927 some of those responsible for teaching at the University of Minnesota became impressed with the effectiveness of demonstrations, particularly in teaching short course classes. They proved to be so successful that considerable attention was given to their development. As a result, demonstrations have become regular routine in our college teaching work. Many of these demonstrations used for the classroom have been found effective in speaking to other groups, such as women's clubs, service clubs, farm groups, home economic students, and more recently the television audience.
