Situated cognition

According to Study.com Situated cognition theory it states " knowledge cannot be separated from the context or situation in which it was acquired " meaning that learning does not happen in an area where other people are not involved, with Situated cognition learning is linked with culture, place, activity or social situation, because we learn from being interactive with other people, if you gains new knowledge and practices it frequently  or even share that knowledge with others will remember it to heart.

Example of situated cognition

Situated cognition is best used in an environment where students can share what they have learnt with others. For example, a student who learns about history in school by reading is more likely to forget about what they have learned, however if they had actually visited the historical sites and interact with other people in that environment, they tend to recall what they had learned.

To achieved a fruitful technology integration the use of technology should be routine, transparent, accessible and readily available for the task at hand. It should be supporting the curricular goals while helping the students to achieve their goals successfully.

Relationship between situated cognition and technology integration

The relationship between situated cognition and technology integration is that they both are associated with learning but with different belief of learning style.
