Hi All
Issues on the threshold concept
possible reflections on the threshold concept, hoping for a reflective perspective.
Threshold learning comprise of frontiers which is systematic pre-planned planned post planned re planned. It progression is not bordered it moves beyond educational boundaries a concept that needs to be understood by the two theorist including the different concepts it poses. mat and land who introduced the theory purports that the gateway of acquiring and understanding a subject for socio-educational change needs an agent for revolutionary thought in education.
The threshold concept thus integrates, creates insight within a discipline of learning challenges which is classroom observations expertise including how students learn. This relative cognition comes to the fore of how the paradigm of learning fits in. students is interested on how the puzzle fit in a cosmological phenomenon. How does the cosmos operate w3who is the mover of this phenomenon what is global warming why so many social ills. Furthermore what is the philosophical, mathematical physiological and scientific concept of understanding these premises there must be a mover [energy]. thus the causality can a exist without b how did we get to c. how do educators understand this
if Galileo were adamant that the world is round or oval the church would have surely killed him. If there is an axis or an ozone layer how does the threshold concept explain this? The sun, earth and the moon runs parallel with each other modern discoveries new realities. The threshold concept proves an integrative step it moves from darkness into light from ignorance to knowledge meaning it deducts and activates the knowledge within a person but it is better to learn than to know. Please do not throw magnesium rods in water into water and wait for a reaction [disastrous, fatalistic].
As mentioned the threshold concept takes you from [mis, dis. semi, UN] understanding to the maintenance of an educational revolution with its end result. Consequently in the exposure of experience in understanding a subject, educational transformation, integration of learning and grasping the concept in Toto.
The concept is the main feature in the threshold concept one can reflect on the concept in order to understand the answer. For example the learning quote should be posed by a concept-what is the concept of philosophy, soci0ology, h8istory and more. What makes learning troublesome is not starting within the concept or paradigm. Thus transformation in the conceptual shift is professionalism subsequently leaning in a social environment. ‘‘We learn how to live with other human beings, understanding the cosmos as imagined within its educative discpline. On reiteration ''we learn to become agents of social, social dynamics and socio-economic change, for human universal development. Learning becomes reflective when all members of society engage in a conscientious effort to change the educational paradigm. [Coherent curriculum development].
transformation of thinking on the threshold concept does not brand a person ''learning how to cook does not make you a chef, driving a truck does not make you a truck driver studying law does not make you a lawyer, studying religion and ethics does not make one a rabbi, priest or an imam but the threshold learning concept refines the knowledge into wisdom of how we can become in creating the energy that will change the educational fabric that will bring about the mastery for social change. Also making unwanted theories and modules redundant as the humans are in need of education which promotes civilization and not racism.
lastly threshold learning poses cognitive learning ''des frontiers'' as the educator are not disposing of a module but educating a human being additionally in makhtab learning the whole class is stopped in order to bring one learner on the level of the others however when things becomes clear it means that continuous revision and assessment has, had been done inclusive of the methods of Frere ,makhtab learning and the zone of proximal development
what is significant in the threshold concept.is the fact that it includes all methods and theorist in order to transform exposure to continuous experiences.
Unlearning is when atopic does not make sense it is illogical contradictive doubtful proving education is not a commodity but sharing a concept withholding knowledge can be counterproductive
