Journal Article
Heading, D., & Loughlin, E. (2018). Lonergan's insight and threshold concepts: students in the liminal space. Teaching in Higher Education, 23(6), 657-667. https://doi.org/10.1080/13562517.2017.1414792

Threshold concepts are a widely used idea, particularly in curriculum design and evaluation of student learning. However they can be criticised as being hard to identify, vague and teacher imposed. Using the cognitive theory of Bernard Lonergan we ar... Read More about Lonergan's insight and threshold concepts: students in the liminal space.
