Contrived experiences are edited versions of direct experiences that are used as substitutes for real things in classroom situations when bringing the real thing is not practical or possible. They simulate real-life situations and can take the form of models, mock-ups, specimens, objects, or simulation games. Models and mock-ups reproduce real things on a small or large scale using synthetic materials. Specimens are individual items that are typical examples of a group. Simulation games represent manageable real events where students actively participate. The key difference between games and simulations is that games are played to win, while simulations do not necessarily have a winner.

2. What is Contrived
Experience?
 Edited version of direct
experience
 These are “edited copies of reality

scale, or exact size
but made of
synthetic materials
Substitute for a
real thing

6. An
arrangement
of a real device
or associated
devices,
displayed
devices in such
a way that
representation
of reality is
created.

7. Objects- artifacts
displayed in a
museum or objects
displayed in exhibits
or preserved insects
specimen in
science.
 Specimen- any
individual or item
considered typical
of a group, class or
whole.

8. Representation of
manageable real
event in which the
leaner is an active
participant
engaged in
learning a
behavior or in
applying
previously
acquired skills or
knowledge.

9. What is the difference
between a game and a
simulation?
Games are played to win
while simulations need
not have a winner.

10. Games are used for any of these
purposes:
1.To practice and/or refine
knowledge/skills already
acquired.
2.To identify gaps or weaknesses in
knowledge or skills.
3.To serve as a summation or
review, and
4.To develop new relationships
among concepts and principle.
