Abstract
Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) can be used both as a theoretical and an analytical framework. It has been used in a wide variety of contexts over a wide variety of research objects in education and other fields requiring a comprehensive understanding of interactions within a system. At a theoretical level, the relation between double stimulation and instrumental mediation has been studied and understood, yet the link between double stimulation and conflicts of motives is understudied. How has scientific literature considered this avenue for research over the past ten years? A systematic literature review was conducted, and thematic analysis was performed in order to identify themes. As of the first quarter of 2021, scientific literature in education sciences does not yet reflect the interest and potential of this research avenue. Double stimulation and its relation to conflicts of motives are key components to form volitional action in education contexts and is therefore a valuable research object.

Résumé
La théorie historico-culturelle de l’activité peut être utilisée en recherche comme cadre théorique analytique. En tant que telle, c’est un cadre qui été utilisé dans une grande variété de contextes et d’objets de recherche en éducation et dans d’autres champs qui requièrent une compréhension étendue des interactions dans un système. Si d’un point de vue théorique, la relation entre stimulation duale et médiation instrumentale a été étudiée et comprise, il n’en est pas de même pour ce qui concerne le lien entre stimulation duale et conflit de motifs. Dans quelle mesure la littérature scientifique a-t-elle pris en compte cette piste de recherche ces dix dernières années ? Pour tenter de répondre à cette question, une revue systématique de littérature et une analyse thématique ont été menées afin d’identifier les thèmes pertinents. Les résultats de cette étude montrent qu’à compter du premier trimestre 2021, la littérature scientifique en sciences de l’éducation ne reflète l’intérêt et le potentiel de recherche identifiés ailleurs. La relation entre stimulation duale et conflits de motifs sont des éléments clés de la genèse de la volition et de l’action en contextes éducatifs; ces deux concepts forment donc un objet de recherche pertinent.
