Contrived experiences are edited versions of direct experiences designed to simulate real-life situations, such as models, mock-ups, specimens, games and simulations. Models are reproductions of real things on a smaller or larger scale made of synthetic materials. Mock-ups are special models that highlight parts of a process. Specimens are portions of material used for examination, like a human brain sample. Simulations represent manageable real events where the learner actively participates. Games are forms of physical exercise or plays used to practice or refine skills and identify weaknesses. They can also serve as reviews.
CONTRIVED EXPERIENCES
isedited version of direct
experiences
design to simulate to real- life
situation
examples are model, mock up,
objects, specimens, games and
simulation.
3.
Model
is areproduction of real thing in
a small scale, or large scale or
exact size, but made up of
synthetic materials
substitute to a real thing which
may or may not operational
Mock-ups
Is a specialmodel where the parts of
a model are singled out, heightened
and magnified in order to focus on
that part or process under study
example is planetarium
6.
Objects
May alsoinclude artifacts displayed in a
museum or things displayed in an exhibit
or preserved insect specimen in science
Animal skull Different Horns
7.
Specimen
A portionor quantity of material for use in testing ,
examination
Human Brain in Specimen Jar Mosquito
8.
Simulation
representation of amanageable real event
in which the learner is an active participant
engaged in learning behavior or in
applying previously acquired skills or
knowledge
9.
Games
• forms ofphysical exercise taught
to children at school
• Plays
• Examples is relay,
10.
To practice orrefine knowledge
or skills already acquired
Identify gaps or weakness in
knowledge or skills
serve as summation or review
Develop new relationships
among concepts and principles
11.
Difference between gameand
simulation
Games are played to win:
there is a competition
Simulation needs not winner,
seems to be more easily
applied to the issues rather
than to processes
12.
Other types ofcontrived
experiences
1. Aquarium- is a representation of plant and
animal.
13.
2. Terrarium –is a representation of plant and
animal on land.
