Psychology in Social Science and Education

The objective of this chapter is to provide skills in the analysis of the relationship between individual, social, and educational contexts. To do this, some of the theories of context in the literature are examined, which propose different inter- pretative models useful to understanding the relationship between context and human action. In this paper, the concept of context is understood in terms of a complex cultural construct and represents the theoretical-conceptual background of this chapter. Following socio-constructivist theories, it is shown how the mind is influenced by context. Moreover, we provide theoretical-methodological tools that are necessary, in our opinion, to analyze the individual-mind-context relationship
