culture and learning  

Definition

  • Traditional notions of learning do not account for the cultural heterogeneity of learning practices. Looking at the history of the learning sciences, it can be said that ideas on learning and education have long been based on the optimal design of learning environments and on identifying key features of these designs that lead to effective or long-lasting learning.
