Engestrom examines activity theory and expansive learning by describing Who are the subjects of learning? Why do they learn? What do they learn? and How do they learn? Presents five principles: activity system as the unit of analysis, multiple voices, historicity, contradictions as sources of change, and expansive transformation. Young provides comments.
