Lesson 8:Teaching with contrived experiences

                                   I have learned that contrived experiences are the edited version of direct experiences which are use to substitute for the real thing when it is not practical  or not possible to bring in the classroom.
There are contrived experience varied  in different types; The Model  Mock-up ,Specimen,Simulation and Objects.Contrived experience is used to over come limitations of space and time to edit reality to focus on parts or a process of system that intent to study, to overcome difficulties of size to understand the inaccessible and help the learners understand abstraction.The teacher should interact to the students to develop the decision making skills.          

Lesson 7: Direct Purposeful Experience and Beyond.

                                        Insights:

                                                         These direct activities may be preparing us.It contrast us howto be a vicarious to all the things we consider. As the word direct,purposeful,for me it means that a learner

will learn by a direct to the concrete concepts with a purpose.Experience is the best direct teaching example .Because through experience you can learn fast and know how it effect to yourself. like what the quote says "one once of experience is better than a ton of theory". Because it is only in experience that any theory has vital and verifiable significance .
