In 1929 in The Aims of Education and Other Essays, noted British mathematician, logician and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead protested against the way students were taught inert knowledge that proved useless to them when they needed to transfer it to real life problem solving. Situated Learning theory provides an antidote to this type of theory behind Situated Learning or Situated cognition arises from the fields of psychology,anthropology, sociology, and cognitive science. The seminal paper Situated Cognition and theCulture of Learning ( ) by John Seely Brown,Allan Collins, and Paul Duguid brought Situated cognition to the forefront as an emerging instructionmodel. In this paper, the authors criticize public schooling for separating the knowing and doing and for treating knowledge as an integral, self-sufficient substance, theoretically independent ofthe situations in which it is learned and used.
