Notes'focus of the article is on cultural variation in approaches to learning.\nKDG and BR suggest explain cultural diversity in learning should not be thought of as an \"inherent trait\" of one cultural group or another, (not essentialized) but rather should be viewed from the context of histories of engagement in cultural practices, as \"repertoires of practice\".\nrejects the idea that that learning styles(\"approaches to learning\") are static and general traits of individuals can be attributed to ethnic group membership.\n - ntanio'
