This paper argues that activity theory provides an appropriate framework for analyzing needs, tasks, and outcomes for designing constructivist learning environments (CLEs) and describes a process for using activity theory as a framework for describing the components of an activity system that can be modeled in CLEs.

“technophobia” is examined as an explanation for low levels of computer utilization and predictive models showed that although computer experience is the most prominent predictor of technophobia, it is not the only predictor — age, gender, teaching experience, computer availability, ethnicity, and school socioeconomic status also play an important role in predicting technophobia.
