Under such a situation qualitative researcher have to use different types of data analysing methods in their data analysing process and this data analysing process also complicated. Grounded Theory and Activity theory are common and easy theories which could be used in qualitative data analysing process.

Deferent types of documents were used to analyse the content of Activity Theory (AT), findings and discussing were based on collected information of AT content.
