A Venn diagram about Models and Mock Ups
3.
Five reasons why we make use of models, mock ups, specimens and objects:
1. Overcome
limitations of space and time. With the
use of the teaching aids mentioned above, learners can understand and have a
thorough knowledge of the subjects being taught in only a short span of
time. We no longer will imagine about the
real thing if we have the exact model in front of us, thus this will save our
time in teaching.
2. To “edit”reality for us to be able to focus
on parts or a process of a system that we intend to study. For example, if we our teaching science
subject and our topic is about bacteria, we can bring into class a specimen so
we can see and study under microscope what is it like.
3. To overcome difficulties of size. Having a model of the materials that we are
going to study, we can know the exact components of that thing we cant possibly
bring to class because of its size. For
example, we are tackling about planets, we can use a mock up (a planetarium to
be exact)
4. To understand the inaccessibility. Again, a mock up of planetarium can be of
great used studying about solar system for it is impossible for us to travel in
the universe just to study the solar system.
5. Help the learners understand abstractions. With the presence of the teaching aids we use
in class, we no longer will imagine what a thing is like if we have an exact
representation of the thing we are going to study.
