Abstract
This article is grounded on four research experiences in which has been used the Instruction to the double technique to analyze the work activity in a variety of workplace settings. The applications of the technique are presented and discussed in those researches, guided by the theoretical and methodological approach of the Clinic of Activity. The experiences reported occurred in different working environments - hospitals, universities, beaches - with their participants (health professionals, teachers and informal workers). The use of the technique allow various psychic phenomena, among which stand out the worker's reflection on its activity, in the clinical dimension of work activity, and competence identification dimension in front of possible developments of the activity. Contributions from these experiences allow to indicate the technique for future studies in different work contexts, thereby demonstrating their broad possibilities of use.
