Learning styles due to socio cultural context
Answers
Many people think that learning has to do with processes within learners. However, the culture in which a person learns sets the agenda for learning in several ways. It determines what is learnt and influences how and when it is learnt. What and how a person learns is influenced in large measure by the culture in which the learning occurs and the social interaction processes in which the learner engages. It is the quality of these interactions rather than processes solely within the learner, that determine the quality of the learning outcome.
The cultural contexts in which learners learn affect how they display what they know about the ideas they are learning. A group may values some ideas more than others. A tension can arise when the ideas that one group wants students to learn, or the ways in which they allow the ideas to be displayed, clash with the expectations of another group. We noted earlier that many gifted students have difficulty coping socially because the peer group doesn't encourage honest display of their knowledge.

(1) many of the ideas students learn are culturally determined.
(2) cultural influences initiate the purpose or reason for learning.
(3) cultural influences make suggestions about how to think and learn.
(4) to learn culturally valued ideas, learners need to align their personal knowledge with the socially-culturally accepted group understanding.
