20 The Tools - 07 Threshold Concepts - Threshold Concepts: Reviewing candidate concepts (Reviewing candidate TCs)

Abstract

Part of a toolkit used in the Transforming Perspectives project, looking at using 'threshold concepts' as a framework for identifying areas of conceptual difficulty in disciplinary curricula. This document gives an outline for an activity where threshold concepts identified and listed by staff and/or students can be reviewed and agreed on as being 'threshold concepts' (promoting discussion around these concepts in the process).
