The article looks at how activity theory is used in higher education research. Researchers analyzed 59 papers and found that activity theory is mostly chosen for its practical use, like explaining and understanding things. It's not often used to challenge ideas or create new theories. The researchers suggest that activity theory should be used more in designing research, not just analyzing data, and should be seen in different ways across research projects.
