Education / Pedagogy
Norwegian term or phrase: handlingstvang
"Gynther (2009) mener at det er krevende for brukerne å komme opp med nye ideer og forbedre praksis. Det kan både skyldes rutinebasert praksis og handlingstvang for lærere i undervisningssituasjon."

My research shows that this term originates with Heidegger, but I haven't managed to find my way to the English equivalent.

(the fact that they have to be) in reactive mode


Explanation:
Some efficiency websites (incl. teaching-related) talk about workers being "reactive" rather than "proactive", due in part to the design of or pressures inherent in their job milieus.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, Jande, this definitely on the right track. If I don't find a more precise term (if one exists...), then I will use this.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Charles Ek: Given the time I spent working with teachers in the past, you'd think that I would have recalled "intervention". Luckily, Jande has. See http://tinyurl.com/33kp6rd for "affirmation" of this, as the educators like to say.
