    Contextualized Teaching and Learning (CTL) is an instructional approach that links academic content to real world situations of interest to students. It engages students in active learning and helps them understand information by focusing on concrete applications in a specific context. Research shows people learn better when concepts are taught in context. CTL has been shown to be effective based on theories of motivation, social learning, problem-centered learning, and how human brains learn. It also prepares students for real world challenges by using specific, company-relevant examples. While other methods can also be effective, including contextual learning examples in instruction helps students become better problem solvers.

    CONTEXTUALIZED TEACHING AND LEARNING

    What is Contextualized Teaching and Learning (CTL)?


    Contextualized Teaching and Learning (CTL) engages students in active
    learning while assisting them to make meaning out of the information they
    are obtaining.  Contextualized instruction links the learning of foundational
    skills with academic or occupational content by focusing teaching and
    learning squarely on concrete applications in a specific context that is of
    interest to the student.
    Many people learn better and faster, and retain information longer, when
    they are taught concepts in context.
    Why use a contextual learning approach?
    For any teaching and learning approach to be adopted as an acceptable
    pedagogy, it must demonstrate that its core principles are in keeping with
    the broader body of pedagogical findings. Contextualized teaching and
    learning approaches have been proven to be grounded in:

    1) Pedagogical theory: Contextual learning activities are aligned with the


    mainstream pedagogical body of knowledge, including Motivation
    Theories, Social Learning Theories, Problem-centered Learning and
    modern psychological and physiological research around how human
    brains learn.
    2) “Real world” application: Rather than teach for the abstract or
    theoretical world, using contextual learning strategies helps companies

    1 OGDIMALANTA
    prepare their employees to take on real-world challenges that their staff
    faces in the workplace.
    3) Specificity: Because the contextual learning approach to training a
    workforce relies on “context”, trainers can offer content built to deal with
    company-specific context in mind.
    4) Speed: By focusing on the “big picture first” (more on this later),
    this training approach trains employees much quicker than the traditional
    “crawl…toddle…walk…run” approach.
    While other training approaches might also work well, the inclusion of
    contextual learning examples as part of corporate training will help produce
    a workforce that’s more adept at real-world problem solving.
    Contextual learning strategies in practice
    The following best practices should be considered when designing your
    contextualized approach to learning and training your corporate staff:
    1) Design with the most relevant approach in mind
    There are a number of contextual learning strategies that you can
    implement, including Knowledge-based, Skills-based and cognitive
    approaches. Make sure that you choose the strategy that’s most
    appropriate to the learning you wish to impart to your audience.
    For example, while a skills-based approach might work in one context, in
    another it might ignore the practical application required to effectively
    transfer knowledge regarding a specific learning objective.

    2) Design for effectiveness


    For a contextualized approach to learning to be effective, it’s not sufficient
    to just impart the knowledge or skills required to achieve a learning
    objective. You need to design activities that also teach the procedurs,
    2 OGDIMALANTA
    processes and discipline on how and when to apply those skills and that
    knowledge in a given context.
    3) Design for transference
    Often, when an employee moves from one position to another (horizontally,
    laterally or even externally, to another organization), they need to be able to
    transfer their skills, knowledge and experiences to that new environment.
    A research-based publication of the Commission on Behavioral and Social
    Sciences and Education National Research Council found that much
    greater transfer of knowledge takes place when information is organized in
    a conceptual framework. When that happens, learners were found to be
    more adept at applying what they learned to newer situations in the
    workplace.
    Therefore, it is important that you design your contextualized learning
    activities in a way that learners are able to adapt and transfer them to
    newer contexts, as opposed to relating them to just one specific context.

    4) Design with social consciousness


    The typical workforce today is highly multicultural, with employees coming
    from different ethnicities, cultural and social backgrounds. Therefore, it is
    imperative that when pulling together contextualized learning activities as
    part of a course, you also factor in those social “nuances”.
    In some cultures, for instance, it may not be appropriate for male and
    female colleagues to participate in two-person activities. As a result,
    learners with specific cultural backgrounds might be resistant to absorbing
    new information/skills using a contextual learning approach that challenges
    their ingrained social norms.

    3 OGDIMALANTA
    In such a situation, slightly changing the makeup of the learning team,
    perhaps into a small group configuration (as opposed to one male and one
    female), might create a better context for learning to be transferred more
    effectively.
    5) Design iteratively
    Compared to traditional approaches, contextual learning involves a slightly
    different approach to designing learning activities. You need to be more
    iterative in designing learning content, by starting with an immediate focus
    on broad contextualized learning activities that learners need to perform as
    part of their daily work routine first.
    You can then build supporting contextual learning activities that focus on
    the basic skills and knowledge required to effectively carry out those broad
    activities. This approach is repeated in several iterations, enabling learners
    to get a better appreciation of the “big picture” first; and therefore
    subsequently grasp the “smaller” nuances that make up that broader view.
    6) Design for groups
    The most successful contextual learning strategies are those that are
    designed with groups of learners in mind– as opposed to focusing on
    individual learners. That’s because in the real world, learners must interact
    with fellow workers, supervisors, management teams, and a host of other
    individuals and groups.
    By designing your contextual learning activities with groups of
    interdependent learners in mind, you stand a better chance that learning
    will mimic the real world where these individuals will subsequently interact.
    In designing group learning, you’ll also leverage the power of individuals
    learning from other individuals – something that routinely occurs in the
    workforce today.
    4 OGDIMALANTA
    7) Design assessments appropriately
    When designing your contextualized approach to learning, you should
    evaluate learners based on authentic assessments, instead of measuring
    their command of remembering or blindly performing specific activities.
    Jon Mueller, Professor of Psychology, defines authentic assessment as
    assessments where learners are required to show their command of what
    they learned, by applying that knowledge and those skills to real-world
    tasks.
    Assessing the outcomes of contextualized learning activities based on
    authentic assessment will ensure that transfer of learning has actually
    occurred and that employees are well equipped to put the skills and
    knowledge learned to effective use in their workplaces.
