Abstract

The article addresses the implementation of the Situated Learning Theory in university academic praxis, highlighting its relevance in a constantly changing educational environment. The research adopts a mixed approach, using quantitative and qualitative data obtained from university teachers in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The results reveal a positive awareness of the theory, but also obstacles in its implementation, such as lack of institutional support and cultural barriers. The integration of theory in curriculum planning shows a connection between theoretical knowledge and its practical application. Perceptions of the effectiveness of theory highlight improvements in student participation, understanding and motivation. Obstacles and challenges in implementation include workload and student resistance. A high demand for continuing education is identified, with an emphasis on adapting training to different disciplines. From the perspective of Educational Social Responsibility (ESR), the importance of addressing these challenges to contribute to the integral development of students and society is highlighted. The connection between Situated Learning Theory and CSR is strengthened by considering collaboration among teachers and adaptability in continuing education, evidencing the potential positive impact on the formation of ethical and socially committed citizens.
