What is context-based learning?

For any native speaker of English, learning to speak or write in German although is difficult but not as confusing as learning Japanese would be. Why? we may think that since they are foreign languages both should be equally difficult. However, unfortunately for the ex-pats who are English speakers in Japan, that is not how it works.

The answer is that the human brain is not efficient at processing novel information cold i.e., it is easier when it already possesses some erstwhile contextual knowledge, along with which the novel information can conveniently be placed. Therefore, if there is not any contextual knowledge of the subject. It is difficult to derive connections and hence makes it tough for the information to stay.

The process of learning which is context-based is more active, engaging, and collaborative in making the learners engaged and connect with the subject and learn the skills. This process is based on the stringent belief that learning is more of social activity which is misinterpreted in classroom learning.

When we see it closely, it is evident that understanding is a crucial role in the context that can aid teachers to enhance their process of teaching. They should make sure that the students get a stringent sense of general ideologies on the given subject. Once these principles fall in place, they will offer context for bigger issues with kids may face. For example- before kids learn to evaluate the circumference of circles, they must learn multiplication skills efficiently.
