What can Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) contribute to
the solution of the problems facing higher education today? This
edited volume brings together the work of an international group of
scholars and researchers to address this important question.
Drawing on contemporary interpretations of CHAT, the contributors
take on a wide range of issues, ranging from pedagogy to
administration and from teacher preparation to university outreach.
An introduction presents the key principles of CHAT. Subsequent
chapters address such issues as effective ways of teaching large
undergraduate classes, providing support for struggling writers or
for students with disabilities, opening up opportunities for
students from historically underserved communities, preparing
students for the professions, and building bridges between higher
education and the wider community. Readers with an interest in
higher education will encounter ideas in these chapters that will
prompt them to rethink their role in preparing today's students for
tomorrow's challenges.
