Participatory learning theories: a framework for early childhood pedagogy (2012, background): “Instead, we draw readers' attention to comprehensive treatments of significant strands: cultural psychology (Cole, 1996 ; Valsiner, 2007 ); cultural–historical activity theory, commonly known by its acronym CHAT (Roth & Lee, 2007 ); and cultural-historical theory (Hedegaard & Fleer, 2008 ).”
Narrative accounts of university education: socio-cultural perspectives of students with disabilities (2012, background): “Cole ( 1985 ) and Roth and Lee ( 2007 ) link their work with the aforementioned and much of Vygotsky’s thinking.”
An overview of cultural historical activity theory (CHAT) use in classroom research 2000 to 2009 (2012, background): “For example, the citation frequency of “activity theory” was scarcely evident in 1990 and then rose to over 200 in 2005 (Roth and Lee 2007 ).”
Student Teaching’s Contribution to Preservice Teacher Development (2013, background): “…that inevitably arise when activity—like the activity of student teaching—spans traditional boundaries between university and K–12 settings (Roth & Lee, 2007); in doing so, sociocultural learning theory foregrounds the inherent complexity of PSTs’ learning as it is mediated by context,…”
Boundary Crossing and Boundary Objects (2011, neutral): “This extended scope of analysis has been an explicit part of what is referred to as the third generation of cultural historical activity theory (CHAT), which states that two activity systems are the minimal unit of analysis (Engeström, 2001; Roth & Lee, 2007).”
Cultural-historical activity theory: Vygotsky’s forgotten and suppressed legacy and its implication for mathematics education (2012, background): “…learning in schools because the emphasis remains on the individual learner and learning theories tend not to account for the cultural-historical contingency of schooling as a particular form of human activity that reproduces not only knowledge but also societal inequities (Roth and Lee 2007).”
Vicious Cycles of Identifying and Mathematizing: A Case Study of the Development of Mathematical Failure (2015, methodology): “I use Roth and Radford’s (2011) distinction between motives being related to the social activity as a whole and goals being related to the specific actions that form part of that activity to refine the analysis of ritual participation.”
Cultural-Historical Activity Theory: Exploring a Theory to Inform Practice and Research (2014, background): “…shaping professional practices such as developing curricula and teaching at all education levels (Cole, 1996; Jonassen & Rohrer-Murphy, 1999; Roth & Lee, 2007), providing mental health care (Sundet, 2010), strategizing and managing organizational processes (Blackler, Crump, & McDonald, 1999,…”
Learning Language, Learning Culture: Teaching Language to the Whole Student (2020, methodology): “Dialogue versus dialectic in activity Researchers have used two different terms, “dialectics” (Engeström, 1999, 2001; Roth & Lee, 2007) and “dialogue” (Walshaw & Anthony, 2008; Wells, 2007), to describe the kinds of learning and teaching that I envision.”
Learning and Expanding with Activity Theory: The Future of Activity Theory: A Rough Draft (2009, background): “Figure 1. Four indicators of the increasing interest shown in culturalhistorical activity theory over the past three decades, based on citation frequencies in the Institute for Scientific Information’s citation database ( Roth & Lee, 2007, p. 188 )”
School bullying from a sociocultural perspective (2018, background): “Moreover, proponents of CHAT would highlight the importance of linking culture, cognition and learning with the historical conditions in which they are taking place (Roth & Lee, 2007).”
