I'm not sure what you mean by "eLearning by doing" and what you are looking
for here.

Good teaching, like good teacher training, should involve demonstrations
that make a point and serve as an introductory note to the material in the
presentation. "Showing them some films" reminds me of Health classes in high
school taught by our coaching staff.

A great reference source on the value of demonstrations in presenting
material to students comes from Dr. Bassam Shakhashiri. His website -
http://scifun.chem.wisc.edu/ - can give you more ideas as well as ways to
contact him and his associates. IF he/they do not have personally published
studies, they should be able to point you toward them. Dr. Jerry Bell with
the Wisconsin Institute for Science Literacy can also be found at this
website. He, too, will have valuable input for you.

Dear all,
does any of you know of any published study showing superiority of Œlearning
by doing¹ over lectures and demonstrations? I need to motivate why I want to
have teachers doing experiments in my teacher training courses vs. giving
them some lectures and/or showing films and could use some literature
support.
I¹m grateful for any tips!!!
Luiza
