Abstract

ABSTRACT The use of digital technologies continues to increase in classrooms. For teachers, this involves an increased focus on the task design process for supporting student outcomes when using these technologies. Using the Activity Theory based Evaluation Version of the Activity Checklist as a theoretical framework, this paper explores an exemplary case of the use of the Activity Checklist through the analysis of a classroom task from the perspective of the teacher task design process. The results showed that the Activity Checklist as a framework was fruitful to capture and study the teacher design process as activities, illustrating important aspects in designing tasks for student work. It is concluded that the use of the Activity Checklist may support teachers’ task design processes for motivating and supporting student outcomes related to the use of digital technologies. Further, the use of Activity Checklist can help to identify potential issues in the task design process from the teacher perspective, improve practitioners’ work and in turn provide guiding principles for educational development.

支持教师的任务设计过程。探索一个使用活动清单的示例案例

数字技术在课堂上的使用不断增加。对于教师来说，这涉及到在使用这些技术时更加关注任务设计过程，以支持学生的成果。本文以基于活动理论的活动清单评价版为理论框架，从教师任务设计过程的角度，通过对课堂任务的分析，探讨了活动清单使用的典型案例。结果表明，活动清单作为一个框架，对于捕捉和研究教师设计活动的过程是富有成效的，它说明了设计学生作业任务的重要方面。结论是，使用活动清单可以支持教师的任务设计过程，以激励和支持与使用数字技术相关的学生成果。此外，从教师的角度出发，使用活动检查表可以发现任务设计过程中可能存在的问题，从而改善实践者的工作，从而为教育发展提供指导原则。

期刊介绍： Mind, Culture, and Activity (MCA) is an interdisciplinary, international journal devoted to the study of the human mind in its cultural and historical contexts. Articles appearing in MCA draw upon research and theory in a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, cognitive science, education, linguistics, psychology, and sociology. Particular emphasis is placed upon research that seeks to resolve methodological problems associated with the analysis of human action in everyday activities and theoretical approaches that place culture and activity at the center of attempts to understand human nature.
