The Situated Learning, an Alternative for Answering to the Current Educational Challenges

Abstract

In order to realize actions in the area of education, it is indispensable to know the reality on which this develops or will develop. The situated learning is that methodology that pretends to unify the education with the reality, as it allows the student to apprehend this reality in his surroundings to understand and confirm his knowledge. Therefore, starting from this affirmation, the biggest part of the educational plans and curriculums are usually decontextualized, as they are mostly carried out by individuals that don’t know the realities on which its application is pretended to be carried out.
