Effective Assistance for Procedural Details and Flow in Demonstrations

B.

When a demonstration exercise is not flowing well after a presentation heavy with procedural details, the instructor can provide assistance in several ways.

Option A suggests reviewing the presentation in more detail. While reviewing the presentation may help the instructor identify any areas of confusion or unclear instructions, it may not necessarily address the current issue of the demonstration exercise not flowing well.

Option B suggests handing out copies of the procedure from the slide presentation. This may help learners refer to the steps and clarify any confusion they may have had during the presentation. However, it may not necessarily address the issue of the demonstration exercise not flowing well in real-time.

Option C suggests asking probing questions to trigger the learner's memory of the procedure. This can be a helpful way to get learners to recall the procedure steps and identify any areas where they may be struggling. However, this approach may take time and may not address the immediate issue of the demonstration exercise not flowing well.

Option D suggests quickly leading the learners in a question and answer session. This can be an effective way to identify and address any issues or misunderstandings in real-time. The instructor can ask specific questions to clarify any confusion, correct any mistakes, and ensure learners are on the same page. This approach can also help to engage learners and promote active participation.

Overall, option D, quickly leading the learners in a question and answer session, is the most productive assistance the instructor can provide in this situation as it can help to address the immediate issue of the demonstration exercise not flowing well, identify any misunderstandings or confusion, and promote active participation.
