This means that no single factor can be
isolated from the others, or is always of
more importance, when we consider
how learning occurs in FE. A learning
culture emerges from the combination
of these interrelationships.
Our research identified wide variations
in learning cultures within FE, as well as
some common characteristics. By
‘culture’ we mean the practices which
influence learning in any site. Any site
where learning takes place can be said
to possess a learning culture.
