The document discusses contrived experiences in teaching and learning. It defines contrived experiences as representative models or mock-ups of reality used for practical reasons to make real life accessible to students. Some examples of contrived experiences mentioned are models, mock-ups, specimens, simulations, games, and objects. The purposes of using contrived experiences in teaching are to overcome limitations of space and time, edit reality to focus on specific parts or processes, overcome difficulties of size, understand inaccessible concepts, and help students understand abstractions.

1. Lesson 8
Teaching with Contrived
Experiences

2. “We teach through a re-arrangement of the
raw reality: a specimen, a manageable
sample of a whole. . . When the direct
experience cannot be used properly in it’s
natural setting.” – Edgar Dale

3. What are Contrived Experiences?

4. Contrived Experiences
- Make use of a representative models or mock – ups of reality
for practical reasons and so that we can make the real
Life accessible to the student’s perceptions
and understanding.

5. What are varied types of contrived
experiences?

6.  Model
 Mock Up
 Specimen and Object
 Simulation
 Games

7. Model–is a reproduction of a real thing in a
small scale or large scale or exact size but made
of synthetic material. it is a substitute for a real
thing which may or may not be operational.

8. Examples
These models are in a small scale of their original thing
and it is made of synthetic materials

9. Mock – Up - is an arrangement of a real device or
associated devices where the parts of a model are
singled out, heightened and magnified in order to
focus on that part or process under study.

10. Example
The different parts of the body shown above can be
detached and single out so that the learner can focus
on parts that he/she intend to study.

11. Specimen
is any individual or item considered typical of a
group, class or whole.
Examples
The picture above shows the specimen
of different creature

12. simulation
a representation of a manageable real event in
which the learner is an active participant
engaged in learning a behavior or in applying
previously acquired skills or knowledge.
example: election or earthquake drills

13. Objects
include artefacts displayed in a museum or
objects displayed in exhibit or preserve insect
specimen in science.
Examples
Artifacts is one example of objects

14. Game – is another example of contrived
experiences. It is an active participation through
rules and regulation.

15. Examples
Games makes the class fully alive and active

16. PURPOSES OF GAMES
•Develop changes in attitude
•Change specific behavior
•Prepare for participants for assuming new roles in d’
future
•Help individuals understand their current roles
•Increase the students’ ability to apply principles

17. Why do we make use
of contrived
experiences?

18. 1. to overcome limitations of space and time
2. to “edit” reality for us to be able to focus on
parts or a process of a system that we intend
to study
3. to overcome difficulties of size
4. to understand the inaccessible
5. help the learners to understand abstractions

19. Thank You!
God Bless. .
