CHAPTER 8: TEACHING WITH CONTRIVED EXPERIENCE 

ORGANIZER:

REFLECTION:

          Contrived experience is the edited version of direct experience. It is design to stimulate real-life situation. On the other hand, it is the substitute for real objects which is hard to find or get. Examples of this is seen in the above figure. 

          Contrived experience is very useful in teaching because it can use by the teacher to represent the objects that are very large and very impossible to find or bring inside the classroom. Aside from that we can use also contrived experience to overcome limitation of space and time and also to overcome difficulties of size. Contrived experience serve as A tool for the teacher in explaining those objects that are large in size in his or her students . For example is the solar system. We all know that the solar system is very large and is found in the outer space and is very hard to bring in the classroom, with that, we must use contrived experience wherein we will going to make a substitute for the real solar system into smaller one to bring it in the class and introduce it to our students.
