Abstract
Exercise science programs require rigorous academic preparation often taught in traditional classroom and lab settings. However, situated learning theory views learning as action in a community of practice, where the elements of social interaction, connectedness, and authentic participation transform cognitive understanding into meaningful knowing. Situated learning can have a complex effect on exercise science students’ connectedness, understanding, theory application, and professional skills. Additionally, social networks (like Facebook) can provide a modern educative community in which to increase engagement and connection in the classroom.
