Teaching With Contrived Experience


Application:
1.    Present contrived experiences and their various form means of graphic organizer.
2.    Compare a model and mock up.
3.    Illustrate with examples the 5 reason why we make use of contrived experiences.
4.    Go over the RBEC. Identify objectives and topics which can be taught with contrived experiences.





3. The five reason why we make use of contrived experiences.

  • 1.  To overcome limitations of space and time.
Ex: Using Model of Planetarium or Solar System, if we try to have a direct experience with our solar system we cannot bring the student to outer space with in a short period of 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
Ex: Using a mock-up of Human Digestive System, that show the process on how the digestive system works.

  • 3.  To overcome difficulties.
Ex: Simulation of Tsunami Drill, in times of disaster we need to be prepared and to know what are the things that we are going to do just in case it happens and apply what we learn during the actual disaster. 

  • 4.  To understand inaccessible.
Ex: Using Specimens of Snake, if we try to teach the different types of snake,  to overcome the unavailability of the actual snakes it is good to use the specimens of the different types of snake.

  • 5.  To help the learner understand abstractions.
Ex: Playing Games like the Pinoy Henyo, in games we can come up with a better understanding of the lesson we taught that will lead to the higher thinking skills of student.
