Spanish to English Science Education / Pedagogy
Cómo entienden la frase "no viene dados de antemano"

En la búsqueda de esquemas y herramientas alternativas que colaboren en la conexión entre teorías y prácticas se han desarrollado diferentes propuestas actuales de raigambre especialmente constructivista. Estos desarrollos consideran que tanto la realidad en los contextos educativos como los hechos que se producen en éstos no son fijos, ni vienen dados de antemano, sino que responden a situaciones concretas enmarcadas en circunstancias particulares fruto de factores de diversa índole como las relaciones, las interacciones o los propósitos (Cubero, 2010).

Predetermined?

Gracias de antemano.

nor are they a given

Suggestion.

These facts are not fixed and (their occurrence is not guaranteed either)/(they are not guaranteed to happen).
Example sentence:

It constantly serves as a reminder, for example, that the white and Eurocentric are not the only reality nor are they a given, natural norm.

The two may not always be mutually exclusive but nor are they a given in the way the spin would have us believe of Amal Clooney.
