Abstract
When researchers and practitioners engage in investigations using an activity theory framework, they need to follow sound qualitative research methods. An investigator can arrive at meaningful and trustworthy activity theoretical conclusions only if s/he has a comprehensive data set that represents authentic participant experiences. The results of activity theory research cannot be of high quality if the investigator does not engage in sound qualitative research. Therefore, it is critical that researchers and practitioners are as well versed in qualitative research as they are in Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT).
