“…The next framework application step combines induction from data and deduction from the theoretical framework into structured concepts as a framework. As a theoretical framework, we used Engestrӧm's "activity theory" [16], which is often referred to in non-self-taught, group learning [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] as noted earlier, and the theory decides the research paradigm as constructivism [31]. The researcher then systematically applies the conceptual framework [32] to the intercepted and decontextualized data in the indexing step and recontextualizes and processes the indexed data in the charting step.…”

“…Engestrӧm's "activity theory" [16], which we used as the analytic framework for this study, is theoretically based on Vygotsky's works. Activity theory provides a model of group learning [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] that is an exten-sion of Vygotsky's individual learning. In fact, both the whole model and the concepts of the theory, such as "instrument," "outcome," "community," or "division of labor," were valuable for our analysis.…”

“…The small triangle means an individual activity, in which a "subject" acts on an "object" using an "instrument" to produce an "outcome," while the large triangle, which contains the small triangle, is a "community" which collectively cooperates in activities through "rule" and "division of labor" toward the "outcome." Activity theory is often referred to in the practice and analysis of cooperative learning in the community, such as in active learning in and out of class and on-the-job learning at workplaces [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. In recent years, applications in the healthcare field have also been attempted [21][22][23][24].…”

Background. Peer learning has been recognized for its effectiveness in health professional education. However, its effects on clinical research education are not clear and were explored qualitatively in this study. Methods. The peer-learning method was implemented in a clinical research education seminar for early-career physicians at a children’s and mothers’ hospital in 2019. We conducted semistructured interviews with participants about peer-learning experience and qualitatively analyzed verbatim transcripts using Engeström’s “activity theory” framework. Results. From framework analysis, learning processes were extracted mainly in four domains, namely, (a) instrument and its usage: research design and its match with research question, (b) outcome: research result, (c) community: seminar, and (d) division of labor: roles of participants and staff. Conclusions. In this report of a peer-learning trial in postgraduate clinical research education, the following two pathways of peer-learning effects were abstracted. The indirect pathway was the presentations by experienced participants providing concrete examples of research processes. The direct pathway was the questions from experienced participants to beginners about specific and concrete questions. There were also two points to consider in peer learning in clinical research education: gaps in premise knowledge and beginners’ frustration about expected outcomes. We believe that these extracted pathways and points imply the significance and considerations for continuing the peer-learning trial in clinical research education. Future tasks are to promote clinical research education with a view to the learning effects, not only on individuals, but also on groups.

The purpose is to identify the semantic factors with attention to arouse the maternal instinct of housewives being as health volunteers. The samples of this research are 18 housewives being village health volunteers with high maternal instinct and alcohol drinking behaviour learning in the rural communities, Thailand. By using adaptive control of thought rational (ACT-R) process, based on maternal instinct implemented from the semantic model, maternal instinct semantic factors model innovation is found. It engages with six cognitions; finance, health, family, children, society's recognition and environment. Importantly, this model illustrates the 13 significant methods of activity designing.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Jaimung, T., Yodmongkol, P., Chakpitak, N. and Sureephong, P.
