What is Situated Cognition
1.
Situated cognition
emphasizes studies of human behavior that have “ecological validity.” In other words,
situated cognition
takes place in real situations (for instance, outside the laboratory). In more traditional laboratory, studies of (for example) how people behave in the workplace, real-world complications such as personal interruptions, office politics, scheduling constraints, private agendas, and so forth, are generally ignored, even though these necessarily change the nature of the activities.
Situated cognition
attempts to integrate these complexities into its analytic framework.

2.
Thinking and learning occur in the context of using knowledge and skills to complete a task (e.g., solving a problem).

3.
This idea says knowledge is developed and used in part by being
situated
in interactions human beings have with activity, context and culture (Brown, Collins & Duguid, 1989).
Learn more in: Creating Supportive Multimedia Learning Environments
4.
The scientific study of
cognition
as a phenomenon that occurs in the course of participation in social contexts.
Learn more in: Multi-User Virtual Environments for Teaching and Learning
5.
A major thrust of
situated cognition
promotes the idea that knowledge and skills are best learned in contexts that closely resemble the contexts in which they will be used ( Brown, Collins, & Duguid, 1989 ; Lave & Wenger, 1989 AU31: The in-text citation "Lave & Wenger, 1989" is not in the reference list. Please correct the citation, add the reference to the list, or delete the citation. ). That is, you cannot understand what happens within the individual apart from considering the influence of the social, cultural, and physical contexts within which the individual is learning.

6.
Situated cognition
is an instructional design approach that embeds learning processes in authentic performance environments, which significantly reduces the challenge of transferring learning in the classroom to performing on the job.
Learn more in: Design and Evaluation of Mobile Learning from the Perspective of Cognitive Load Management
7.
Situated cognition
is a psychological paradigm for learning that requires social interaction
situated
in real-world contexts in order for learning to occur. Subscribers to the concept of
situated cognition
believe that learning, both by individuals and organizations, cannot take place without rich social and contextual interactions.
Learn more in: Computer Games as a New Arena for IST Research
8.
Stemming from pragmatism, theories regarding
situated cognition
suggest that one learns better in contextual circumstances than in classroom or laboratory settings.

9.
An approach to knowing and learning that draws from a variety of academic disciplines and whose shared approach describes knowing and learning as an inherently social interaction with the world including other people. It has roots in the epistemology of rationalism and models from the hard sciences that help to explain the cognitive science of thinking and learning rather than expanding on abstract models borrowed from information processing theory and traditional computer science.

10.
Situated cognition
is a learning theory that challenges the perception that learning is a cognitive process that takes place solely in the minds of individuals.
Situated cognition
views learning as a collaborative process in which people engage with tools and the environment in which they will be used ( Brown, Collins, & Duguid, 1989 ).
