Abstract:

Situation is the product of interaction. Interaction and mobility are the essential attributes of situation. Learning takes place in specific situations, which affect people and learning. People in learning create continuous situations. Situational learning refers to the process in which learners experience the growth of experience by fully interacting with the situation around the learning theme, which emphasizes the maximization of the use of information and factors in the situation. Situational learning can build complex situations for the cultivation of students’ literacy, facilitate students’ independent participation, promote the development of high-level complex mind and nourish the cultivation of literacy. The situational learning that points to the cultivation of literacy needs to be realized by relying on grand concept and swarm intelligence. Structuring the situation with grand concept and constructing swarm intelligence in interaction are the key to the implementation of situational learning.

Key words: situation, situational learning, cultivation of competencies, big ideas, swarm intelligence
