In this chapter we present and discuss how cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) can inform and contribute to action research. The discussion is based on a study of how principles in activity theory are translated and applied by participants in a PhD course on action research at Oslo Metropolitan University. Key findings show that when participants use activity theory as a thinking tool in their action research projects, they identify systemic contradictions which in turn contribute to increased understanding of what potentially hinders and promotes change and development in their projects.
