Identities in motion – Boundary-crossing learning from an intrapersonal perspective
This paper investigates how learning unfolds in poly-contextual settings. In work-related learning, boundaries between contexts have been viewed as learning resources. From the multilevel approach suggested by Akkerman and Bruining (2016), we focus on the intrapersonal level, on individuals as units of analysis. We propose an intrapersonal methodology and demonstrate it with an empirical study based on individual interviews. We combine cultural-h…
A critical search for the learning object across school and out-of-school contexts: A case of entrepreneurship education
Background: Recent alternative concepts of school knowledge emphasize knowledge creation via networks of learning around real-world phenomena. We studied entrepreneurship education as an example of new epistemic activity which opens institutional boundaries for active engagement with society in learning.Methods: We used a case-study strategy and a methodology informed by the cultural-historical activity theory for investigating an entrepreneurshi…
Teachers’ beliefs as a component of motivational force of professional agency
Reflections on the Use of DWR in Intercultural Collaboration
This article is a reflection on a Developmental Work Research project focused on the introduction of information and communication technology in schools in Africa.

The data include several workshops, Change Laboratories (CLs) in three schools, and ethnography from these schools. By tracing the bo…

Voice as communicative action
In microsociological studies of talkas social action, the active subjectis typically depicted as someone who interacts rather than acts. In other words, conversations produce intersubjective understandings rather than meanings based on the referential and semantic contents of talk. This paper formulates an alternative approach to the analysis of institutional conversations, based on an expanded unit of action. In this expanded unit, people act on…
