What is Context

User’s state.

The external factors surrounding the use and engagement with a resource or experience and in which learning transpires.

Is any information that can be used to characterize the situation of an entity. An entity is a person, place, or object that is considered relevant to the interaction between a user and an application, including the user and applications themselves (Dey). Not all context information that follows that definition must necessarily be stored by a context management subsystem. While a context management subsystem provides convenient access to context information for third party services or platform services, such services may directly obtain context information from context sources (e.g. for efficiency) if these sources allow such access.

The background, setting, framework, and environment of a particular country, area, etc.

Determines the course and the circumstances of economic, operational, political and other influences on the system. It may include other systems that interact with the system. Setting defines the limits within which the system must operate, and this, in turn, influences the architecture. Environmental factors that influence the architecture - it is the mission of the business, which will support the architecture, interested in the internal technical limitations (eg, the requirement to meet the standards of the organization) and external technical constraints (such as the need to interact with the external system or to conform to external regulatory.

Information that characterize certain state of the user, such as time, location, cognitive profile, computer resources and other types of data that can help to understand the setting in which the individual is present at the time.

Any information that can be used to characterize the situation of an entity. An entity is a person, place or object that is considered relevant to the interaction between a user and an application, including the user and applications themselves, and by extension, the environment the user and applications are embedded in.

Contextual information refers to several possible aspects of the core message: the situation in which the message was produced, the situation in which it is anticipated to be received, an explanation about a statement, an explanation how to go about executing a request for action, or the underlying assumptions about an argument.

“Context is any information that can be used to characterize the situation of an entity. An entity is a person, place, or object that is considered relevant to the interaction between a user and an application, including the user and applications themselves.” (Dey, A. Providing architectural support for building context-aware applications, Ph. D. Thesis Dissertation, College of Computing, Georgia Tech, December 2000). Context includes: location (absolute/relative, physical/virtual, etc.), infrastructure/resources (server and network capabilities and connections, applications), user (user data, usage patterns), environment (physical attributes such as light, temperature, humidity), entities (people, devices, objects), and time (date, time, season).

An entity is a person, place or object that is considered relevant to the interaction between a user and an application, including the user and applications themselves, and by extension, the environment the user and applications are embedded in.

Defined as the real-word situation of the case. When used in this case study, context refers to the situation of the participants’ student teaching experience in both a university teacher preparation program and an elementary school site. The context introduced elements of potential influence that included participants’ prior coursework, interpersonal relationships, and classroom dynamics.

This refers to the set of circumstances or facts that surround a particular event, situation, or model's operation, providing clarity or information about its function.

Context refers to an environmental setting in which events occur. When we look at an assorted bowl of fruits, the fruits constitute the content , and the bowl constitutes the context . Context come in two types: external context which involves things we can touch, taste, smell, taste and hear; and internal context which involves thoughts and feelings.

Any information characterizing the situation of a person, a place, or an object that is relevant to the interaction between the computing system and its user.

Context is something that constrains a focus (e.g., decision making) without intervening in it explicitly. The context is defined relatively to the focus and evolves jointly with it. The focus allows us to discriminate in the context the contextual knowledge, directly related to the focus, and the external knowledge.

Whatever surrounds the proximal and distal circumstances of any situation.

Context is a powerful, and longstanding, concept in human-computer interaction. Interaction with computation is by explicit acts of communication (e.g., pointing to a menu item), and the context is implicit (e.g., default settings). Context can be used to interpret explicit acts, making communication much more efficient. Thus, by carefully embedding computing into the context of our lived activities, it can serve us with minimal effort on our part. Context refers to the physical and social situation in which computational devices are embedded

When used by Carl Jung, contextuality refers to the entire EM “functional Psyche” of a patient—knowledge of which is essential to the development of a psychiatrist’s empathy with a patient. The classic four human functions symbolized with the elements of Earth, Water, Air, and Fire have been translated by Jung into the functions of Perception (flesh), Emotion, Mind, and Intuition (aether). In other words, Jungian context includes everything that is knowable in a unified field “context” about a patient or a student.

It is the focal event that cannot be properly understood, interpreted appropriately, or described in a relevant fashion, unless one looks beyond the event itself to other phenomena (Goodwin and Duranti, 1992, 3). In this study, concepts such as subjectiveness-belongingness (self-other perspective stemming from belonging varied groups, class, identity and geography. It is preferred to use a newly coined concept to explain it ‘discourse community’ and episteme-historical a priori (Foucaldian periodicity) and language-discourse are used as the dimensions of context,.

Context-aware computing considers various pertinent aspects of the end-user’s situation when delivering a service. These aspects, or contextual elements, are determined during invocation of the service and may include user profile, for example language, age, and so on. Spatial contextual elements, namely location and orientation, may also be considered.

From a positivistic worldview context are the who’s, where’s, when’s and what’s of entities. From a social constructivist worldview context is about meanings that are constructed in interaction with persons, places or objects and not about entities as persons, places or objects as such. Context then defines interaction, but interaction is also changing under influence of context.

In this paper, context has multiple meanings. First, it may refer to the macro-level environment, situation or circumstances outside the lecture-theatre or classroom seen as a nested set of societal, cultural, historical and institutional influences on the teaching and learning of statistics. Second, the macro-level context influences and gives meaning to what is happening at the micro-level context, within the lecture theatre where the lecturer and students interact with the artifacts (e.g. lecturer discourse, slides, statistical techniques, problems, software, other people). At the micro-level, the statistical tasks, problems or examples may be set in a context-scenario. The lecturer’s teaching of statistics in the lecture theatre takes intellectual and affective meaning from all the separate contexts in which it is intertwined to result in meaningful learning by the students, who are also actively engaged in the activity. In summary, context is about the relations between the teaching and learning of statistics within the environment of the lecture theatre, at the micro-level and the influences on these relationships from outside the lecture theatre, at the macro-level.

The intended context of use for a mobile application.

Context involves the organization, or set of researchers or professionals who collected data and explicit or implicit agreements that were established with data-subjects. Context can mean the physical situation but also involves a number of understandings and expectations about what one can expect from data given in a particular situation under a specific set of conditions. An example of a breach of context would be if data provided to one’s doctor for medical purposes was used by a credit company to assess an individual’s financial viability.

Many definitions of context are available in the literature (Dey et al., 2001). The most accepted one defines “context” as any information useful for characterizing the state or the activity of an entity or the world in which this entity operates. An entity is a person, place, or object that is considered relevant to the interaction between a user and an application, including the user and applications themselves.
