| Popis: | A method of activity analysis is proposed that exploits synergy among cultural-historical activity theory, Peircean sign theory, and ecofunctionalism in response to challenges of modern work. The method comprises an operationalisation of the object of activity via the concept of core task, which enables contextual description of actions. On this basis, a semiotic analysis can be accomplished that reveals generic habitual ways of acting. The variation found in their interpretive strength for comprehending situations predicts differences in the mastery of work and learning in work. The method also allows definition of systems usability as a holistic quality-linked concept for purposes of artefact design. |
