Activity Theory in Education: Research and Practice brings together
cutting-edge scholars from a number of continents. Through in-depth
case studies the authors highlight how Activity Theory is used in
education and discuss the theoretical as well as pragmatic use of
Activity Theory frameworks in a range of contemporary learning
contexts. The first section of the book focuses on empirical research
on using Activity Theory in analysing students’ and teachers’
experiences of learning and teaching in face-to-face and online
learning contexts. The second section contains insights in identifying
historical and systemic tensions in educational contexts using
Activity Theory. The third section discusses conceptual and contextual
aspects of educational contexts through Activity Theory, and Section
four discusses the application of Activity Theory in understanding
teachers’ Pedagogical Content Knowledge and curriculum development.
In spite of the widespread and rapidly increasing use of Activity
Theory in educational research, few collections of this work are
available. Activity Theory in Education: Research and Practice is such
a much needed collection of practical experiences, theoretical
insights and empirical research findings on the use of Activity Theory
in educational settings.” – Yrjö Engeström, Centre for Research
on Activity, Development and Learning (CRADLE), The University of
Helsinki.
