Situational Context of Education: A Window into the World of Bilingual
Learners

Brisk, Maria Estela; Burgos, Angela; Hamerla, Sara Ruth

Educational outcomes are affected by situational factors outside the control of
the student, family, teacher or school. Advantages are enjoyed by students
who, for instance, speak the school's language outside school, are of higher
socio-economic status, belong to the dominant ethnic group, live in safe
neighbourhoods, and attend well-funded schools. The converse applies. The
central idea of Situation Context of Education (SCE) is that, while teachers
and students may be powerless to change the situation within which they
teach and learn, both groups can benefit from increasing their conscious
awareness of that situation.
