7th Biennial Threshold Concepts Conference, June 13-16, 2018, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, USA<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s theme, Thorny Thresholds: Identity, Transfer, and Assessment, invites us to dig into some of the more challenging aspects of working with threshold concepts.<\/p>\n
How are students transformed by threshold concepts\u2014and how do we know?
\n How do new understandings facilitated by threshold concepts transfer across contexts?
\n What are differences between threshold concepts (and a threshold concepts framework) and \u201cstudent learning outcomes\u201d\/\u201dstandards\u201d\/\u201dqualifications\u201d and other forms of institutional assessment of curricula, programs, and learning\u2014and what are the implications of
\n those differences for work with students, faculty, administrators, and publics?
\n How do expectations about “assessment” and “evaluation” of learning differ across countries, and what can we learn from one another in relation to these differences?<\/p>\n
