The document discusses situated learning theory and its application in education. It begins by defining learning and various perspectives on learning. It then introduces situated learning theory developed by Lave and Wenger, which views learning as a social process that occurs through legitimate peripheral participation within a community of practice. The core elements of situated learning theory - authentic content, activities, and community - are then examined through examples. Finally, ways to apply situated learning theory in practice through lesson planning, learner engagement, teacher approach, and evaluation are discussed.
