How does an Activity Theory Model Help to Know Better about Teaching with Electronic-Exercise-Bases?

摘要

The research presented in this paper relies on Activity Theory and particularly on Engestrom's model, to better understand the use of Electronic-Exercise-Bases (EEB) by mathematics teachers. This theory provides a holistic approach to illustrate the complexity of the EEB integration. The results highlight reasons and ways of using EEB and show some dynamic aspects of this use. However, the general character of the model does not allow consideration of some specificities of the teaching mathematics context.
