CONTRIVED EXPERIENCES

is edited version of direct experiences

design to simulate to real- life situation

examples are model, mock up, objects, specimens, games and simulation.

is a reproduction 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

Games

•  forms of physical exercise taught to children at school

• Plays

• Examples are relay, bees,

Why do we make use of contrived experiences?

To overcome difficultiesTo understand inaccessibleHelp the learner understand

abstractions

your name

Questions enumerated by Edgar Dale in evaluating

contrived experience used in class

your name

is the model or mock up necessary or can you make use of the original?

could some other device such as a photograph or chart portray the idea more effectively?

is the idea appropriate for the presentation in a model?

are the important details of construction correct?

your name

could wrong impressions of size, color and shape result from using this model?

does the model oversimplify the idea?

If it is purchased, will the model be used often enough to justify its cost?

If it is to be made by the students, is the model likely to be worth the time, effort and money involved?

your name

Summing upContrived experiences are substitutes of

real things when it is not feasible to bring the real thing to the class.

The most important thing to remember when we make use of models and mock ups are to make them as close as the real represent. If for one reason or another they could not replicate the real things in size and color and we should at least cautions the reader or the user by giving the scale.
