Home and school are both external contexts that surround a learner, providing resources, relationships, encouragement, and learning opportunities that shape development.

Because these settings exist outside the individual's biological makeup, learning shaped by them highlights the role of environmental factors rather than innate or biological causes.

This is distinct from genetic determinism, which attributes outcomes to heredity, and from reflex control or conditioning alone, which describe narrower, involuntary or specific learned response mechanisms.

Hence, learning influenced by home and school context highlights environmental factors.
