lesson# 8

Teaching with contrived experiences






contrived experiences
  •  I have learned that  contrived experiences are the edited version of direct experiences which are use to substitute  for the real thing when it is not practical or not possible to bring in the classroom.
  • Edited of reality and used as substitutes for real things when it is not practical or not possible to bring or do the real thing in the class room.These contrived experiences are designed to simulate real -life situation  





Models-is a reproduction of a real thing in a small scale large scale or exact size but made of synthetic materials.


Mock up-is an arrangement of a real device or associated devices, displayed in such a way that representation of reality is created.


Specimen-is any individual or item considered typical of group, class or whole. Objects may also include artifacts displayed in a museum or objects specimens in science.


Simulation - a representation of a manageable real event in which the learner in a active participants
Games- use for any of these purpose 
  1. to practice & or to refine knowledge or skill
  2. to identify gaps or weaknesses in knowledge
  3. to serve as a summation or review
  4. to develop new relationships among concepts & principle
Contrived experience is use to overcome limitations of space and time,to edit reality to focus on parts or a process of a system that intent to study, to overcome difficulties of size, to understand the inaccessible and help the learners understand abstraction. The teacher use simulations and games to make their class interactive and to develop the decision-making skills and knowledge construction skills of their  students.
