Merrifield, Juliet – Centre for Literacy of Quebec, 2012
Learning always takes place in a particular context and culture, yet educators have tended to focus their attention mainly on the form of learning, its methodology, content and teaching approach.

Kuhn, Peter; Sweetman, Arthur – Industrial and Labor Relations Review, 1998
