Description
While it is possible to simulate most of the undergraduate experiments in the physical sciences, it remains critical for modules at the undergraduate level to have a hands-on experimental component. At the institution of higher learning, students acquire assistance from lecturers, lab managers, and laboratory demonstrators for this component. This involvement of laboratory demonstrators is designed to assist students in understanding the practical aspects of their experiments before and during the laboratory session. This work reports on the vital and multifaceted role of laboratory demonstrators, lab managers, and lecturers at the South African university in making learning effective for the students attending physics and chemistry practical sessions. The roles extend beyond the supervision of practical sessions. Demonstrators serve as key intermediaries between theory and experimental practices, assisting students to grasp abstract concepts through hands-on engagement.
