Contextual learning definition

Contextual learning means an educational approach where learning occurs in a context that is meaningful and relevant to students. Contextual learning emphasizes the connection between the content being taught and its real-life applications, and allows students to see the practical significance of what they are learning. This approach often involves situational learning, where students engage with material through experiences that simulate or directly relate to real-world scenarios.
