Levi-Strauss's "Bricolage" and Theorizing Teachers' Work.
Hatton, Elizabeth
Anthropology and Education Quarterly, v20 n2 p74-96 Jun 1989
A teacher's work is compared to Claude Levi-Strauss's concept of "bricolage." A "bricoleur" is a professional do-it-yourself person, falling somewhere between an odd-job person and a craftsperson. The concept helps to explain pedagogical inadequacy by linking inherent limiting features of teachers' work and some causal explanations. (AF)
