Detailed explanation-1: -ABSTRACT: Situated learning theory holds that effective education requires learning that is embedded in authentic contexts of practice, wherein students engage in increasingly more complex tasks within social communities.

Detailed explanation-2: -The concept of Situated Learning Theory is that learning occurs within authentic context, culture, and activity and that it is widely unintentional. It promotes the idea that students learn better in collaborative group settings and when the activities are based on real-life experiences.

Detailed explanation-3: -Situated learning is an instructional approach developed by Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger in the early 1990s, and follows the work of Dewey, Vygotsky, and others (Clancey, 1995) who claim that students are more inclined to learn by actively participating in the learning experience.

Detailed explanation-4: -Situated learning theory states that every idea and human action is a generalization, adapted to the ongoing environment; it is founded on the belief that what people learn, see, and do is situated in their role as a member of a community (Lave and Wenger, 1991).
