Identification of Histological Threshold Concepts in Health Sciences Curricula: Students' Perception
Martin-Piedra, Miguel A.; Saavedra-Casado, Salvador; Santisteban-Espejo, Antonio; Campos, Fernando; Chato-Astrain, Jesus; Garcia-Garcia, Oscar Dario; Sanchez-Porras, David; Luna del Castillo, Juan de Dios; Rodriguez, Ismael Angel; Campos, Antonio – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Students' metacognitive skills and perceptions are considered important variables for high-quality learning. In this study, students' perceptions were used to identify histological threshold concepts (integrative, irreversible, transformative, and troublesome) in three health sciences curricula. A specific questionnaire was developed and validated…

Hongmei Zhang; Chad Marchong; Yanju Li – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
Traditional exam reviews are passive and face many challenges to prepare students for exams. In this study, we proposed the Tab-Meta Key model, which emphasizes five major factors (time, accountability, big picture, key concepts, and metacognition) and is supported by prior literature. We also designed an exam review based on this model. This exam…

The Human Anatomy & Physiology Society (HAPS) has published a set of learning outcomes to be used for curriculum design of a one-semester introductory physiology course. The outcomes are competency-based and are mapped to core concepts and skills students should develop as undergraduates. This paper is an introduction to how the physiology…

Kinchin, Ian M. – Teaching in Higher Education, 2022
The dominant narratives currently offering critique of the neoliberal university suggest a professional environment that is both uncaring and unhealthy. This paper adopts a Deleuzian gaze on the rhizomatic multiplicity of teaching to identify and reinterpret key lines of flight within this assemblage -- identified as care, pedagogic health and…

Diehl, David K.; Tunzi, Dominique; Marx, Robert – Teaching in Higher Education, 2022
Research on interdisciplinary fields has mainly focused on knowledge production -- the creation of new ideas -- rather than on knowledge socialization, the process by which a scholarly community identifies and teaches a field's core body of knowledge to novices. In this article, we use social network analysis to identify the core knowledge that…

Karleigh Riesen – portal: Libraries and the Academy, 2025
Librarians provide instruction for students across disciplines, each with their own teaching and learning practices. An exploration of signature pedagogies will help librarians develop a deeper understanding of student learning. This article identifies reflective pedagogy as a teaching strategy librarians can use to expand upon this learning by…

Calduch, Isaac; Rattray, Julie – Studies in Higher Education, 2022
Within the Threshold Concepts Framework, 'postliminal variation' has been defined as the variation in the point and state of exit into a new conceptual space, and the epistemological and ontological terrain encountered from that point onwards. However, in the extensive published literature on threshold concepts, we find many cases in which its…

Anderson; Chelsie Romulo – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2024
Interdisciplinary environmental and sustainability (IES) programs are different from other fields because they focus on a complex integration of humanities, social, and natural sciences concepts centered on the interactions of coupled human and natural systems. The interdisciplinary nature of IES programs does not lend itself to traditional…

Kelly Moore; Georgiana Craciun – Marketing Education Review, 2024
Flipped classrooms invert the traditional (lecture-based) classroom such that students review materials before class, and then participate in active learning techniques during class. While flipped classrooms have generally been shown to be beneficial, recent research indicates that there are numerous moderators that make an impact on learning…

Slonka, Kevin; Bhatnagar, Neelima – Information Systems Education Journal, 2022
The introductory Information Systems (IS) course is a critical course at the beginning of every IS/IT major's degree. While many textbooks exist that are focused solely on this course, they all vary in the covered topics and the depth of material. This research examined most major textbooks focused on the introductory course and, through…

Amir Rastpour; Abraham Amini – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2025
We develop a spreadsheet-based game to illustrate fundamental statistical concepts in the first class of an undergraduate Statistics course to motivate students about the topics that they will learn in upcoming classes. This game has been implemented by Google Forms and Google Sheets and can be played in both online and in-person classes of small…

Gravett, Karen – Studies in Higher Education, 2021
Student transitions are a central part of higher education policy and practice internationally. However much of the work within this important area is underpinned by unquestioned and limited assumptions of what transition as a concept might mean. Moreover, too often understandings of transition defer to narratives that sustain a stereotypic…

Logan Rath – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2023
This article proposes that understanding information literacy as a social practice is a threshold concept for academic information literacy librarians. While the social nature of information literacy has been theorized for more than 25 years, the noted theory-to-practice gap in this area suggests a new question to be raised. This study explores…

Modig, Niclas – Studies in Higher Education, 2021
Based on Young's notion of powerful knowledge, acquiring disciplinary knowledge emerging from an economic epistemic community is expected to make an important difference for people when dealing with economic issues in their daily lives. In this regard, this article's author asked Swedish scholars of economics at higher education institutions what…
