From and article on reconstructing educational psychology by Eric Bredo and highlighting a move from contested dichotomies to activity theory as a theoretical framework.
Contested dichotomies:
- language and reality
- mind and body
- individual and society
but we should see knowledge as inseparable from the occasions and activities from which it is produced -> SITUATED COGNITION
we can map various forms:
- 'inter-activist'
- relational
- dialectical
in other words we can view the person and environment in terms of their contribution to an activity ...
which naturally leads us towards -> ACTIVITY THEORY
