Situated learning also involves participation (where a learner works together with others in order to solve a problem).

Situated learning deals with how one's [[knowledge]] develops over the course of an activity and how they create and interpret.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Clancey|last2=William J|title=A tutorial on situated learning|date=1995|url=http://cogprints.org/323/1/139.htm}}</ref>

'''Content''':
In situated learning, no importance is given to the retention of the content. Rather, situated learning stresses [[reflective]] and higher-order thinking where the results are used in solving problems faced in daily life. Situated learning is thus more application-based.

'''Context''':
Context provides a framework for the usage of the product or the result at the right time, place, and situation in the social, [[psychological]] and material environment. Context creates a platform to examine the learning experiences.

'''Community''':
Community helps the learner to [[Creativity|create]], [[interpret]], [[Human self-reflection|reflect]] and form meanings. It provides opportunities to share experiences among learners and also to interact.

'''Participation''':
It is where the interchange of ideas, problem-solving and engagement of the learners take place. This takes place in a [[social setting]] which includes reflecting, interpreting, and negotiating among the participants of the community.
