LB#8 Contrived Experience

      In the case of contrived experience, acquiring of real object or situations are far possible There are cases that are so impossible to bring it into actual presentations. This things are complicated enough due to its size, availability, maybe obscured or confused. In such circumstances, the limitation is preferred for better and easier understanding. Creating an edited model of reality is the best solution a teacher must initiate in order for the students to easily understand the real things.
      Lets take the case in performing emergency drills in school, specifically a fire drill. Actual fire is not really happening, here we can create a case highly similar to the real situation. The students were able to learn what must be done in actual  situation. In contrived experience, limitations were overcome to achieved better and long term learning.

LB#7 Direct Purposeful Experience

     Direct purposeful experience deals with reality. What we see, tasted, felt and smelt gained us experiences that are direct but also purposeful. Experience is the best teacher ever. And these experience can be achieved bymeans of real representation of the object involved. Actual object to be examined and studied gives us clear perceptions and visualization that can be easily retain into our memory .

     Direct experience is very vital in students learning. A student who doesn't have a chance to examine or manipulate actual object of the discussion can't obtain the real experience he/she must have to acquire in order to thoroughly understand what is actually he must have to learn.
     We learn by using our senses that send signals to our brains. As a teacher to be, I highly recommend to use actual object for teaching to help the students gain enough experience they needed for better and effective learning.
