Salvation for Bricoleurs
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a previous presentation at this workshop (Ben-Ari, 1999), the second author described an experiment in which (even) science educators studying for advanced degrees displayed abysmal performance on non-routine tasks using a word processor. The performance was described as bricolage, a term first used by anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss to describe the primitive science of a ‘savage’, and appropriated by Turkle and Papert (1990) to (appreciatively) describe learning based on trial-and-error rather than planning. While trial-and-error is useful if it leads to refinement of concepts, we reserve the term bricolage (and use it more or less pejoratively) for aimless trial-anderror that does not seem to modify concepts or improve the quality of task performance.

By "unconditionally" they mean that God, in eternity past, freely chooses specific individuals whom he will save (Eph 1:4) and that his choice is not based on their foreseen faith or effort (Rom 9:16). God...
