We teach through a re-arrangement of the raw reality: a specimen, a manageable sample of a whole when the direct experience cannot be used properly in its natural setting. Contrived experiences are those which are designed and arranged closely resembling direct experiences. It is not always possible to let a student have a direct experience of all things; some contrivances such as laboratory experiments, working models, etc. are very useful. Contrary to belief, contrived experiences are usually better than direct experiences. This is because models are made less complex, see-through as also easier and safer to operate.
Contrived experience is use to overcome limitations of space and time,to edit reality to focus on parts or a process of a system that intent to study, to overcome difficulties of size, to understand the inaccessible and help the learners understand abstraction.
The teacher use simulations and games to make their class interactive and to develop the decision-making skills and knowledge construction skills of their students.
