Activity Theory and Context-Awareness
نویسندگان
چکیده
A lot of research has been done in the area of context-aware computing. Even though, the term context seems often not to be well defined. We attribute this problem partly to the fact that research often focuses on syntactical and technical issues of contextuality and does not take a knowledge level perspective on context. When including the knowledge level, some sort of analysis is required on what aspects need to be modelled. In this paper, we propose the use of an Activity Theory (AT) based approach on modelling components, and outline how it can be combined with the AmbieSense context modelling framework we have proposed earlier.

متن کاملModelling Context: An Activity Theory Approach
In this paper, we review different context classification systems that have been used to define elements of context. Although existing classification systems cover various types of context, in the development of context aware applications, only a few types of context have been used. In this work, we aim to build a context classification model based on Activity Theory that provides a basis both ...

متن کاملChanging the Role of Teacher according to Complexity Theory: From Representation to Facilitating Emergence
The present study seeks to rethink the role of the teacher in the teaching-learning process according to the complexity theory. First, the role of the teacher is explained in the traditional vision of Comenius and Dewey's critical insight and then the role of the teacher is discussed in the complexity theory. Then, the teacher’s image as an emergence facilitator is suggested instead of their im...
