Difference between Lecture method and Demonstration method :-

There are certainly some differences between lecture method and demonstration method. Both lecture method and demonstration method are widely used in classroom teaching. Among them, the lecture method is more prevalent than other methods. Nowadays, as the number of students in the classroom increases, so does the use of lecture methods. Besides, the method of rendering is also being used in schools. This method is more useful for teaching many students simultaneously. These methods can be used easily and quickly in the general school environment. But these methods differ in practical terms. The differentiating aspects of these two methods are –
