Teaching with Contrived Experiences
Contrived experiences are "edited" copies of reality and are used as substitutes for real things when it is not practical or do the real thing in the class room. These are designed to simulate real-life situations. These include:
- Model - is a reproduction of a real thing in a small scale, or large scale or exact size.
- Mock Up - is an arrangement of real device or associated devices, displayed in such a way that representation of reality is created.
- Specimen - is any individual or item considered typically of a group, class or whole.
- Objects - may also include artifacts displayed in a museum or objects displayed in exhibits or preserved insect's specimen in science.
- Simulation - is a representation of manageable real event in which the learner is active participants engage in learning a behavior in or in applying previously acquired skills or knowledge.
- Games - these are played to win.
We make use of contrived experiences:
- To overcome limitation of space and time.
- To edit reality for us to be able to focus on parts or a process of a system that we intend to study.
- To overcome difficulties of size.
- To understand the inaccessible, and
- To help the learners understand abstraction.
