Learning in the liminal space: a semiotic approach to threshold concepts
TL;DR: The notion of liminality has been explored in the context of threshold concepts as discussed by the authors, which is a state in the process of learning in which there is a reformulation of the learner's meaning frame and an accompanying shift in the learners ontology or subjectivity.

Responsible Management: Engaging Moral Reflexive Practice Through Threshold Concepts
Paul Hibbert,Ann L. Cunliffe +1 more
TL;DR: The authors argue that an abstract knowledge of principles has to be supplemented by an engaged understanding of the responsibility of managers and leaders to actively challenge irresponsible practices, and argue that a form of moral reflexive practice drawing on an understanding of threshold concepts is central to responsible management, and provides a gateway to transformative learning.

Writing-to-Learn in Undergraduate Science Education: A Community-Based, Conceptually Driven Approach
TL;DR: This work undertook an initiative, supported by the National Science Foundation and sponsored by the Reinvention Center, to build a community of WTL/STEM educators who would undertake a heuristic review of the literature and formulate a conceptual framework to systematically guide study designs and integrate findings.

Factors Influencing Stress, Burnout, and Retention of Secondary Teachers.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the stress, burnout, satisfaction, and preventive coping skills of nearly 400 secondary teachers to determine variables contributing to these major factors influencing teachers, and found that burnout levels between new and experienced teachers are significantly different, with novice teachers having higher burnout but their difference in stress levels was not statistically significant.

The Identification of Threshold Concepts: A Review of Theoretical Complexities and Methodological Challenges.
TL;DR: In this paper, the transactional curriculum inquiry process was extended to involve parties beyond the educational realm (e.g., the professional community) and that the use of consensus methodology offered the potential to facilitate agreement across a transactional process.

Threshold concepts and troublesome knowledge (2): Epistemological considerations and a conceptual framework for teaching and learning
Jan H. F. Meyer,Ray Land +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors build on earlier work by Meyer and Land (2003) which introduced the generative notion of threshold concepts within (and across) disciplines, in the sense of transforming the internal view of subject matter or part thereof.
Threshold concepts and troublesome knowledge (3)*: implications for course design and evaluation
TL;DR: In this paper, it has been pointed out that certain students "get stuck" at particular points in the curriculum whilst others grasp concepts with comparative ease, and what might teachers do in relation to the design and teaching of their courses that might help students overcome such barriers to their learning.
