Innovative Education and Learning Practices Information Systems Theories and Implementation Social Representations and Identity

Abstract

Activity theory represents human activity in a way that takes into account its ongoing, socially distributed, and artifact mediated nature. It moves the analysis beyond the individual and their actions to include the community of practice in which they are operating. Critical to this theory is the notion of mediation. It proposes artifacts mediate between the psychological and sociological dimensions of human behavior to produce a triadic model of action linking subject (actor), mediating object (artifact), and object (goal).
