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…

Becker, James P.; Hacker, Douglas J. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2022
Contribution: This article describes the implementation, assessment, and evaluation of conceptual-based writing exercises in an introductory course on electric circuit analysis. Background: Students' struggles in gateway courses such as circuit analysis are often traced to inadequate metacognitive skills on the part of the student as well their…

Thomas Clough Daffern – Teaching Theology & Religion, 2024
This paper introduces the reader to the "Periodic Table of the World's Religious and Philosophical Traditions" (PTWRPT). It summarizes its background history, the conceptual thinking that underlies it, and explains why and how it was created. Using the same thinking that underlies Mendeleyev's Periodic Table of the Elements, it sets out…

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…

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…

Stopford, Richard – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2021
The threshold concept framework is a key contemporary theory in pedagogy. The core idea is that 'threshold concepts' are distinctively 'troublesome' for students and act as gatekeepers to their disciplines. No doubt the theory is compelling because there is surely something right about this. Student difficulty with conceptual material is familiar…

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…

Salwén, Håkan – Teaching in Higher Education, 2021
Educational researchers have concluded that there are threshold concepts in a large number of disciplines. Yet, these researchers have not paid enough attention to the objection to the theory. It is beset with severe definitional and empirical problems. I will portray definitions of 'threshold concepts' provided by Land and Meyer, the founding…

Sabnis, Varun; Abhinav, Kumar; Subramanian, Venkatesh; Dubey, Alpana; Bhat, Padmaraj – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
Today, there is a vast amount of online material for learners. However, due to the lack of prerequisite information needed to master them, a lot of time is spent in identifying the right learning content for mastering these concepts. A system that captures underlying prerequisites needed for learning different concepts can help improve the quality…

With accelerating advances in artificial intelligence, it is clear that introducing K-12 students to AI is essential for preparation to interact with and potentially develop AI technologies. To succeed as the workers, creators, and innovators of the future, we argue students should encounter core concepts of AI as early as elementary school.…

The evolution of concept mapping has benefitted from the robust theoretical basis provided by Ausubelian learning theory. However, for concept mapping to maintain its relevance and to keep pace with the evolutionary changes in the educational context, it is vital that educational researchers and classroom practitioners can augment this theoretical…

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…
