meaningful learning

How does the theory relate to meaningful learning?

Situated learning is a social practice in which learning is viewed as an aspect of all activity. (p. 38)

"In contrast with learning as internalization, learning as increasing participation in communities of practice concerns the whole person acting in the world." (p. 49)

"Where the circulation of knowledge among peers and near-peers is possible, it spreads exceedingly rapidly and effectively" this "...may well be a condition for the effectiveness of learning." (p. 93, emphasis mine)
