Hello there, I have a few questions about CHAT. I have read a lot of Engestroms work which from my understanding is based on CHAT but revitalised as Expansive Learning Theory and or Third Generation Activity THeory and now Fourth Generation Activity. I am wondering how to reference in my phd. It gets murky to me ... I am using the triangle representation and a lot of Engestrom's (and his collegues) explanations. Who should I attribute the triangle model with the constructs - Rules, Community, Mediating Tool, Division of labour, the subject and object to? Hoping to find some clarity
Ngo Cong-Lem has a great paper that sorted out the confusion and acknowledges Engestrom's and Leontiev's approaches differences and connections. Paper title for anyone interested: Unravelling Cultural-Historical Activity Theory: Leontiev's and Engestrom's Approaches to Activity Theory
Hi
The top triangle of Subject, Tools, and Object is attributed to Vygotsky but the extended one with Rules, Community, and DoL is Engestrom.
