Many scientific articles use various expressions to describe a meaningful learning contexts (i.e. authentic learning, contextualized learning, real-world learning). Therefore, I want to conduct a meta-synthesis to better understand what kind of learning contexts are described by these expressions in articles about science education.
I think a meaningul learning context is one that relates to students prior reading/experiences/societal or global issue. If the learning is situated within these latter contexts then it becomes meaningful for the student.
Best regards,

Thank you taking time answering to the question Maria Torres. I am not sure to understant qhat you mean exactly.
Learning context is a situation in which a learner receives information from the teacher through specific teaching-learning activities. Now, these teaching-learning activities will be different based on the learning situation which can vary from a teacher centered (externally guided) approach to a student centered (internally guided) one. A teacher who can identify the most appropriate teaching-learning method can make the learning meaningful to students.
