purposeful?

experiences involve the asking of
questions that have significance in the
life of the person undergoing the
experience. your name

31. Questions enumerated by
Edgar Dale in evaluating
contrived experience used in
class
your name
32. is the model or mock up necessary
or can you make use of the original?
could some other device such as a
photograph or chart portray the idea
more effectively?
is the idea appropriate for the
presentation in a model?
are the important details of
construction correct?
your name
33. could wrong impressions of size,
color and shape result from using
this model?
does the model oversimplify the
idea?
If it is purchased, will the model be
used often enough to justify its cost?
If it is to be made by the students, is
the model likely to be worth the time,
effort and money involved? your name
34. Summing up
Contrived experiences are substitutes of
real things when it is not feasible to bring the
real thing to the class.
The most important thing to remember
when we make use of models and mock ups
are to make them as close as the real
represent. If for one reason or another they
could not replicate the real things in size and
color and we should at least cautions the
reader or the user by giving the scale.
