•More of a descriptive meta theory or 
framework than a predictive theory 
•Considers entire work/ activity system just 
one actor or user
LEVEL 1: 
Activity towards an objective (goal) carried 
out by the community
LEVEL 2: 
Action towards a specific goal (conscious), 
carried out by an individual or a group 
possible goals and subgoals, critic goals
LEVEL 3: 
Operation structure of activity typically 
automated and not conscious concrete way 
of executing an action in according with the 
specific conditions surrounding the goal
OBJECT- ORIENTEDNESS 
People live in a reality that is objective in a 
broad sense
INTERNALIZATION/ EXTERNALIZATION 
Distinction between internal and external 
activities, because they transform to each 
other
INTERNALIZATION 
provides a means for a people to try 
potential interactions with reality without 
performing actual manipulation with real 
objects
EXTERNALIZATION 
often necessary when an internalized action 
needs to be “repaired” or scaled.
MEDIATION 
Emphasizes that human activity is mediated 
by tools in broad sense
DEVELOPMENT 
Activity Theory development is not only an 
object of a study, it is also the general 
research methodology
Originally created by scholars Latour, and 
Callon as an attempt to understand process 
of technological innovation and scientific 
knowledge- creation
incorporates what is known as a principle of 
generalized symmetry; that is, what human 
and non- human 
should be integrated into the same 
conceptual framework and assign equal 
amount of agency.

• Students must responses to critical thinking 
questions reveal the extent of their literal 
understanding of the facts 
• In addition, a student’s ability to apply and 
transfer that knowledge in different context 
can be assessed
• Student interest and motivation are 
enhanced by questions that help students 
relate what they are learning to their own 
background knowledge, experience and 
values 
• Higher- order questions are also important 
for modeling different ways to students can 
interpret, apply, evaluate, and reflect on what 
they are learning
• An effective way for teachers to replace 
literal questions with critical thinking 
questions involves the use of BLOOM’S 
TAXONOMY OF THINKING 
• Since the first two levels in taxonomy reflect 
Literal- Level Thinking Questions should be 
avoided 
• Instead teachers should make their questions 
can be classified as Higher Cognitive Level
• VERBS REPRESENTING COGNITIVE 
TASKS IN BLOOM’S TAXONOMY are 
useful in the formulation of questions and 
learning objectives in demonstrating what 
they have learned
• A TASK- ORIENTED QUESTION 
CONSTRUCTION WHEEL can be used to 
consider to both the verbs and task 
associated with the higher- order levels of 
thinking of Bloom’s Taxonomy
1. Pose question first, before asking a 
student to respond 
2. Allow plenty of “think time” by waiting at 
least 7- 10 seconds before expecting 
students to respond
3. Make sure you give all students the 
opportunity to respond rather than relying 
on volunteers 
4. Hold students accountable by expecting, 
requiring and facilitating their participation 
and contributions
5. Establish a safe atmosphere for risk taking 
by guiding students in the process of 
learning from their mistakes
a useful descriptive framework that 
describes human work systems in 
informational and computational terms
describe how distributed units are 
coordinated by analyzing the interactions 
between individuals, the representational 
media used, and the environment within 
which activity takes place
considers the impact of external factors, 
parents and society on personality 
development from childhood to adulthood
INFANCY (HOPE): Trust vs. Mistrust 
During the first or second year of life, the major 
emphasis is on the mother and father’s nurturing 
ability and care for a child especially in visual contact 
and touch. The child will develop optimism, trust, 
confidence and security if properly cared for and 
handled. If a child does not experience trust, he or 
she develop insecurity, worthlessness, and general 
mistrust to the world.
TODDLER (WILL):Autonomy vs. Shame 
At this point, the child has an opportunity to build self-esteem 
and autonomy as he or she learns new skills 
and right from wrong. The well cared child is sure for 
himself, carrying him or herself with pride rather than 
shame. During this time for the terrible twos, defiance, 
temper tantrums, and stubbornness can also appear. 
Children tend to be vulnerable during this stage, 
sometimes feeling shame and low self- esteem during 
an inability to learn certain skills.
PRESCHOOLER (PURPOSE): Initiative vs. 
Guilt 
During this period, we experience a desire to copy the 
adults around us and take initiative in creating play 
situations. We also begin to use the wonderful word for 
exploring the world ― Why? 
If we are frustrated over natural desires and goals, 
we may easily experience guilt.
SCHOOL (COMPETENCE): Industry vs. 
Inferiority 
During this stage, often called the Latency, we are able 
of learning, creating and accomplishing numerous new 
skills and knowledge, thus developing in a sense of 
industry. If we experience unresolved feelings of 
inadequacy and inferiority among peers, we can have 
serious problems in terms of competence and self-esteem.
ADOLESCENT (FIDELITY): Identity vs. Role 
Confusion 
At this point of development now depends primarily upon 
what a person does. An adolescent must struggle to 
discover and find his or her own identity, while 
negotiating and struggling with social interactions and 
“fitting in”, and developing a sense of morality and right 
from wrong. 
Those unsuccessful with this stage tend to experience 
role confusion and disturbance.
YOUNG ADULT (LOVE): Intimacy vs. 
Isolation 
At the young adult stage, people tend to seek 
comparisons hip and love. Some also begin to “settle 
down” and start families, although seems to have been 
pushed back farther in recent years. 
Young adults seek deep intimacy and satisfying 
relationships, but unsuccessful, isolation may occur.
MIDDLE AGE (CARE): Generativity vs. 
Stagnation 
Career and work are the most important thing in this 
stage, along with family. Middle adulthood is also the 
time when people can take greater responsibilities and 
control. 
For this stage, working with establish stability and 
Erikson’s idea of generativity ― attempt to produce 
something that makes a difference to society. Inactivity 
and meaningless are common fears to this stage.
LATE ADULT (WISDOM): Integrity vs. Despair 
Erikson believed that much of life is preparing for the 
middle adulthood stage and the last stage involves much 
reflection. As older adults, some can look back with a 
feeling of integrity ― that is. Others may have sense of 
despair during this stage, reflecting upon their 
experiences and failures.
Extended Erikson’s Model that primarily 
focusing on adolescent development. 
Addressing Erikson notion of identity crisis
IDENTITY DIFFUSION 
the status in which the adolescent doesn’t 
have a sense of having choices; he or she 
has not yet made 
a commitment
IDENTITY DISCLOSURE 
the status in which the adolescent seems 
have a sense of having relevant roles, 
values, or goal for the future
IDENTITY MORATORIUM 
the status in which the adolescent is current 
in crisis, exploring various commitments 
and is ready to make choices, but has not 
made a commitment to these choices yet
IDENTITY ACHIEVEMENT 
the status in which the adolescent has gone 
through an identity crisis and has made a 
commitment to sense of identity that he or 
she has chosen

•A Set of values and ideas 
•A Vocational Direction

investigate how people develop beliefs 
about themselves and how these self 
theories create their psychological world,

ENTITY VIEW (ENTITY THEORISTS) 
this view treats intelligence as fixed and 
stable
INCREMENTAL VIEW 
this view treats intelligence as malleable, 
fluid and changeable
Perception of the environment inevitably 
leads to some course of action. 
Affordances, or clues in environment that 
indicate possibilities for actions, are 
perceived in a direct, immediate way with 
no sensory processing.
Refers to the preferred way an individual 
processes information. They describe a 
person’s typical mode of thinking, 
remembering or problem solving
Individuals tend to gravitate toward one or 
two types of sensory input and maintain a 
dominance in other types
These learners must see their teacher’s 
action and facial expression to fully 
understand the content of the lesson
•Visual Iconic 
•Visual Symbolic
Those who prefer this form of input are 
more interpreted in visual imagery such as 
films graphic display, or picture in order to 
solidify learning
Those who prefer this form of input feel 
comfortable with the abstract symbolism 
such as mathematical formulate or written 
word
They learn best through verbal lectures, 
discussions, talking things through and 
listening to what others have to say
•The Listeners 
•The Talkers
This is the more common type. Listener’s 
most likely do well in school
Persons benefit much from hands on 
approach, actively exploring the physical 
world around them

1. Without rehearsal or constant attention, 
information remains in working memory for 
only about 15 to 20 seconds. This implies the 
need for memory aids.
2. Learning is a process of building neural 
networks. This network is formed through 
concrete experience, representational or 
symbolic learning, and abstract learning. The 
three levels of learning are concrete, 
symbolic, and abstract
… you see a small, furry, four legged animal 
and your father tells you it is an animal called 
dog. This experienced will be stored in your 
brain in an actual physiological connection 
between neurons. In your experience of dogs 
in your neighborhood, you will realize that the 
dogs come in many shapes, sizes, and 
colors. All this information will be 
incorporated into your dog network.
You are out for a walk. You see a small, furry, four 
legged animal and you say it is a dog. Your father 
laughs and tells you that that animal is not a dog, it’s 
a cat. Your brain now has to begin forming a network 
containing information about cats. Then you parents 
bring you to the zoo. You are exposed t to large 
number of creatures you have not seen before. Your 
parents tell you that they are all animals. Your brain 
takes all this information and begins to fit it into the 
previously established animal network. With 
experiences of animals your animal network will 
become stronger 
(CONCRETE LEVEL)
Now that you are older and your parent no longer 
take you to the zoo or buy you a picture books you 
have your way of expanding the neural network of 
animals. Later you see pictures of animals in a book 
that your mother reads to you. You quickly match the 
name of the animal to its picture. Your repeated 
exposure to the pictures in the animal book can 
make the more exotic animals much more 
meaningful than if you had never visited the zoo. 
(SYMBOLIC LEVEL)
Now that you are older and your parents no longer 
take you to the zoo or buy you books, what is your 
way of expanding the neural networks of animals? 
It’s probable that you can now discuss animals 
you’ve never seen whether real or imaginary. 
(ABSTRACT LEVEL)
3. Our brains have difficulty comprehending 
very large numbers because we have 
nothing our experience to “hook” them to.
4. The eyes contain early 70 percent of the 
body’s sensory receptors and send millions 
signals every second along the optic nerves 
to the visual processing of the brain.
5. There is little doubt that when information 
is embedded in music or rhyme, Its recall is 
easier than when it is in prose.
