Forme d'enseignement dans laquelle le professeur joue le rôle actif en vue de l'élaboration de la matière. Les élèves y étant passifs, le rendement en est douteux, surtout dans les classes inférieures. Cependant, une initiative importante du maître est difficilement remplaçable lors de la présentation de certains faits (par ex.: en physique, l'exposé de systèmes de conventions, des unités et des constantes). 1, record 3, French, - forme%20expositive

The demonstration-performance method combines an actual portrayal of procedures or operations with practice by the individual. In this method, the individual is told what to do and shown how to do it, and then given an opportunity to do it. It's a tell-show-do method, which might be described as an acted-out lecture. 1, record 5, English, - acted%2Dout%20lecture

La démonstration pratique avec application est une méthode qui combine l'exécution de procédures ou d'opérations avec une mise en pratique par l'élève. On dit à l'individu ce qu'il doit faire et on lui montre comment le faire, puis on lui donne la possibilité de le faire. C'est la méthode «dire, montrer, faire», que l'on peut décrire comme un exposé vécu. 1, record 5, French, - expos%C3%A9%20v%C3%A9cu
