Threshold Concepts and the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education
What I have learnt about Threshold Concepts is that is a new platform or a passage to practice the understanding of being information literate and to understand the process to acquire information.
Threshold concepts characteristics are:
Transformative - these concepts once learned by the learner open up new ways of understanding the world and questioning of former ways of thinking.
Integrative- learners are able to integrate threshold concepts into other contexts and related areas.
Irreversible - threshold concepts once learned are difficult to unlearn.
Bounded - threshold concepts are contextual they are learned within a particular context and often along with and in addition to other threshold concepts.
Troublesome - threshold concepts can be potentially be troublesome to the learner.
