Abstract
Dr. Tucker discussed her research related to Threshold Concepts, a theoretical framework related to teaching and learning. A threshold concept can be considered as akin to a portal, opening up a new and previously inaccessible way of thinking about something. It represents a transformed way of understanding, or interpreting, or viewing something without which the learner cannot progress. Implications of Threshold Concepts for education and research were also be discussed.
