Activity Theory as Design Tool for Educational Projects and Digital Artifacts
Year: 2018
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: ctivity Theory can provide a good framework for project work design (Hung & Wong, 2000), so participants were invited to design their proposals for educational technologies projects using this framework. It was not too difficult for them to identify concrete elements at play in their specific Activities Systems and recognize the potential contradictions emerging in each System. This historical-cultural analysis process of the various organizations has led to many participants in the Masters to develop a deep understanding of how each organizational context in which they belong to can evolve positively, and in this way solving one or more contradictions present, thanks to proposed changes and innovations introduced in the project.
