The transformation of learning

The Transformation of Learning gives an overview of some significant advances of the cultural-historical activity theory, also known as CHAT in the educational domain. Developments are described with respect to the theoretical framework, as well as with respect to research. The book's main focus is on the evolution of the learning concept and school practices under the influence of cultural-historical activity theory. Activity theory has contributed to this transformation of the current views on learning, both conceptually and practically. It has provided us with a useful new approach to the understanding of learning in cultural contexts.
