Abstract
ABSTRACT In activity-oriented ergonomics, developmental issues are discussed in terms of ”constructive activity.” Understanding the link between constructive and productive activities is a considerable challenge. Using two versions of activity theories, we hypothesized that constructive activity is characterized by the expansion of the object of activity within productive activity. An empirical study conducted in anesthesia produced results that describe this expansion during the preparation of anesthesia. Over half of the anesthetists selected a solution they viewed as riskier. Their object was expanded from the situated care production to include their own selves as subjects in development and a form of generalization.
期刊介绍：
Mind, Culture, and Activity (MCA) is an interdisciplinary, international journal devoted to the study of the human mind in its cultural and historical contexts. Articles appearing in MCA draw upon research and theory in a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, cognitive science, education, linguistics, psychology, and sociology. Particular emphasis is placed upon research that seeks to resolve methodological problems associated with the analysis of human action in everyday activities and theoretical approaches that place culture and activity at the center of attempts to understand human nature.
