Learners build on prior knowledge and interest to learn.

If on the Outreach Survey field stations indicated that prior knowledge and interests are integrated into the learning of program participants, then the program utilizes a contextual learning approach. The learning is contextualized because participants are applying knowledge or skills to a new situation (i.e., context).
