The Social Context of Learning

The social context of learning encompasses the cultural, institutional, and interpersonal factors that influence educational experiences. It shapes students’ attitudes, behaviors, and engagement, which can be measured through performance data and objective assessments.

A school culture that promotes merit-based recognition encourages students to strive for excellence, resulting in improved academic performance and skill development.

Recognizing the social context’s influence on learning underscores the importance of developing social skills that contribute to academic success based on individual merit.
