Teaching With Contrived Experiences

Contrived experiences are edited versions of direct experiences that are used as substitutes for real things in situations where it is not practical or possible to bring the real thing into the classroom. They aim to simulate real-life situations through various methods like models, mock-ups, specimens, objects, simulations, and games. These experiences can be used to practice or refine skills, identify weaknesses, serve as reviews, and develop new relationships between concepts. Simulations and games in particular have various educational purposes such as developing changes in attitudes, preparing students for new roles, increasing ability to apply principles, and motivating learners.

❖ Substitutes for a

representation of reality
is created.
Specimen

Objects

Artifacts displayed in a
museum or objects displayed
in exhibits or preserved

Simulation
Representation of
manageable real event in
which the learner is an active
participant engaged in
learning a behaviour or in
applying previously acquired
skills or knowledge.
Games
What is the difference
between a game and a
simulation?
✔ Games are played
to win while
simulations need
not have a

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

4.To develop new relationships


among concepts and principles.
Ten (10) General purposes of simulations and

2. To change specific behaviors

3. To prepare participants for assuming new
