Demonstration
• Ilustration of ideas, principles and concepts • How to do a task• Two-way interaction
Discussion
• It is dynamic • Questions are needed to
stimulate discussion and should be prepared beforehand
Simulation
• There are no risks• Participants should
play their roles without much teacher input • Feedback needs to
be provided after the simulation
Cooperative learning

Discovery
• Students learn better by doing • Situations where they can learn
through personal experience• Students learn both the content
and the skill at the same time• Encourage students to be
inquisitive, to ask questions and to try new approaches
