•     Description of Instructional Model: 

                Situated Learning is a theory that learning best occurs in an authentic situation 
                in which the learner learns in context. Collaboration and expert modeling play a key                 role in Situated Learning. Learning to ride a bike is a good example of Situated                         Learning. Think about the collaboration that goes on between the expert ( usually a                 parent) and the student (usually a child) as an illustration of this model.

    ACTIVE PARTICIPATION REQUIRED
    Situated learning and cognitivism both cite the necessity for active                  
    participation in order to learn. Situated learning and cognitivism use the metaphor 
    of the mind as a computer: information comes in, gets processed, and leads to 
    certain outcomes.
