The word strategy derived from the Greek word strategia which may defined as plans and specific ways devised and employed for the realization of a goal. Teaching is a purposeful activity performed by the teacher for guiding, directing and showing the right path to the learners in their pursuit for the realization of the set teaching learning objectives. DEFINITION Teaching strategy is a generalized plan for lesson which include structure, desired learner behavior in terms of goals in instruction and an outline of planned tactics necessary to implement the strategy.e stones and metisis[1972]. OBJECTIVES To ensure that certain learning will be acquired in as brief a period as possible. To induce students to engage in exchange of ideas. To minimize the number of wrong response on the students attempt to as concept, principle etc. CHARACTERISTICS OF TEACHING STRATEGIES Developing the desire to do work with the highest measures. To induce students to engage in exchange of ideas. To minimize the number of wrong responses on the students attempt to learn as concept, principles etc. Developing the desire to do work with the highest measures of efficiency of which one is capable. Developing the capacity for clear thinking. To expand the range students desires and interests. Providing opportunities to students to apply practically the knowledge that has been acquired by them. Provide numerous opportunities of participation in freely accepted and activities in which discipline and cooperation are constantly in demand. To transform present bookish school into work school or activity school or college. Quickening of interest and training in efficient techniques of learning. To train the students in the art of study. They should train the students in the use of reference material such as table of contents and index in books of intelligence. To be such as they balance the claims of individual work with cooperation and group work.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN METHODS AND STRATEGIES. Teaching method A teaching method stands for the effective presentation of the specific contents of a subject in such as ways as may be properly grasped and understood by the students. The term method relatively an old term is related with pedagogy. The nature of the subject matter decides the selection of a method for carrying out teaching task. A teaching method is based on the assumption that teaching is an art The effectiveness of a teaching method is evaluated in terms of mastery over the subject matter by using achievement test In teaching strategy emphasis is laid over teaching activities for the proper organization of teaching-learning environment The steps taken in teaching method are quite rigid and fixed. Generally it is difficult in the style and steps represented by the method Teaching strategy Teaching strategy stands for the creation of appropriate teaching learning environment leading to help the students in the realization of the set teaching learning objectives The term strategy in relatively a new term belonging to military science and educational technology Nature of teaching learning objectives is the deciding factor for the selection of suitable teaching strategy. A teaching strategy assumes that teaching is science and quite technical in nature The effectiveness of teaching strategy is evaluated in terms of the realization of the set objectives by using criterion reference test In teaching strategy emphasis is laid over teaching activities for the proper organization of teaching learning environment Teaching strategy is quite flexible. In its application it is always subjected to modification and in the interest of the best realization of the set objectives in the present circumstances

The demonstration should be interesting so that it captures the attention of the students 9. The active participation of the students the teacher may call individual student in turn to help for the demonstration processing 10. The teacher should write the summary of the principles arrived at because of demonstration on the blackboard. It is used for drawing the necessary diagram USES OF DEMONSTRATION METHOD: 1. To demonstrate experiments and the use of experimental equipment in the science laboratory, medical, nursing, etc. 2. To demonstrate procedure in the classroom and the ward to review or revise the procedure to meet the special situation or to introduce new procedure 3. To teach the patient / client a procedure of treatment that he carry out in the home 4. To demonstrate the procedure at the bedside or at the conference hall in the ward or in the natural setting which has more meaning level 5. To demonstrate different approaches in establishing support with the client, the more effective nurse-patient relationship may be established CHARACTERISTICS OF DEMONSTRATION: 1. Demonstrator should understand the entire procedure before attempting to perform 2. Equipments needed should be assembled and pretested before demonstration 3. Knowledge [Theoretical aspects] of the procedure should be given to the student before starting the procedure or the demonstration 4. Positive approach should be used 5. Everybody should have good view of the demonstration 6. The person in-charge of the demonstration should accompany it with the running comments that are related to the materials used, amounts, process taking place, and anticipate the results 7. The setting of demonstration should be as true to life as possible at the live model cost area 8. A discussion period should always follow the demonstration 9. The students should be provided with opportunities for prompt practice of the procedure [Demonstration] STEPS TO DEMONSTRATE PSYCHOMOTOR SKILL: A. BEFORE DEMONSTRATION: 1. Formulate behavioral objectives 2. Perform the skills and analysis thereby determine pre-requisites

3. Assess entry behaviors of learners and determine prerequisites 4. Formulate the lesson plan with particular reference to a. Ensure optimum level visibility b. Preparation for all materials B. DURING THE DEMONSTRATION: 1. State the objectives to the learners 2. Motivate them by explaining why the skill is important 3. Demonstrate the total skill at normal speed 4.

Teacher may talk too much which will mask the enthusiasm of the students 6. Teacher may not have allowed sufficient time for re-coloring of data 7. Teacher may fail to ask the right type of questions level DEMONSTRATION METHOD: ADVANTAGES It activates several senses and visibly showing the process that often helps in retention Complex skills becomes more understandable Provides observational learning Clarifies underlying principle Comments interest Correlate theory and practice Helps teacher to evaluate students response Facilitates return demonstration DISADVANTAGES Inability to compete with the different level of students knowledge and competency Mastering psychomotor skill is often stressful to the students Requires adequate resources to perform demonstration including man, money and material Unlimited workload for giver and the receiver Limited practice due to ineffective cost maintenance 1. 2. 3. 4.
