agree  Valentín Hernández Lima: Cannot get away from "decontextualization", because it is widely used in this field. "decontextualization means being able to abstract the structure of a problem from its context/content."

agree  Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X): I would check with author: the rest of your sentence sounds like the author means contextuatization and not decontextualization
