PARAMO, Pablo et al. Where Learning Happens?. Psicogente [online]. 2015, vol.18, n.34, pp.320-335. ISSN 0124-0137.  https://doi.org/http://doi.org/10.17081/psico.18.34.508.

Under the basic principles of situated learning, this paper presents the results of a study that explores about the scenarios where information is looked up or certain specific knowledge is acquired by high school students. Methodologically, the study applied Facet Theory to identify the variables involved in the possible connections between scenarios and learning contents. A total of 298 high school students (135 males and 163 females) answered a questionnaire about the frequency with which certain contents are looked up in certain scenarios, such as: the school, the city, home and the web. The results confirm the scenarios' facet and restructure the contents' facet in terms of a polarity. Some conclusions about the extension of situated learning principles were made and questions for future studies that explore the role of new learning scenarios in students' education were asked.

Palavras-chave : Situated learning; Learning scenarios; Learning contents; Facet Theory.
