During the last nearly 50 years, the blood lactate curve and lactate thresholds (LTs) have become important in the diagnosis of endurance performance. An intense and ongoing debate emerged, which was mainly based on terminology and/or the physiological background of LT concepts. The present review aims at evaluating LTs with regard to their validity in

Threshold concepts and threshold skills in computing
Proceedings of the ninth annual international conference on International computing education research, 2012Threshold concepts can be used to both organize disciplinary knowledge and explain why students have difficulties at certain points in the curriculum. Threshold concepts transform a student's view of the discipline; before being learned, they can block a student's progress.In this paper, we propose that in computing, skills, in addition to concepts ...

Demystifying Threshold Concepts
Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2007This paper shows that so-called ‘threshold concepts’ have been defined in a way that makes it impossible, even in principle, to empirically isolate them. It continues by proposing an alternative theoretical framework, and argues: (1) that concepts are not reducible to abilities; (2) that acquisition of a given concept can be necessary, but not ...

Elaborating on threshold concepts
Computer Science Education, 2013We propose an expanded definition of Threshold Concepts (TCs) that requires the successful acquisition and internalisation not only of knowledge, but also its practical elaboration in the domains of applied strategies and mental models. This richer definition allows us to clarify the relationship between TCs and Fundamental Ideas, and to account for ...

Threshold concepts in computing
Proceedings of the 16th Koli Calling International Conference on Computing Education Research, 2016In this paper, we survey the work that has been done in threshold concepts in computing since they were first discussed in 2005: concepts that have been identified, methodologies used, and issues discussed. Based on this survey, we then identify some promising unexplored areas for future work.

Variable threshold concept lattices
Information Sciences, 2007A fuzzy formal context may be defined as a triple \((U,A,\tilde I)\) with \(U\) and \(A\) finite sets (of objects and of attributes, respectively), and \(\tilde I\colon U \times A \to L\) a binary fuzzy relation, where \(L\) is the unit interval \([0,1]\).

This thesis investigates staff and student perceptions of threshold concepts in finance to inform curriculum design, pedagogical practices and professional development, and hence improve student engagement and outcomes. Threshold concepts are the essential conceptual knowledge that underpin well-developed capabilities in finance.

Threshold concepts in economics
Education + Training, 2016Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to examine threshold concepts in the context of teaching and learning first-year university economics. It outlines some of the arguments for using threshold concepts and provides examples using opportunity cost as an exemplar in economics.Design/methodology/approach– The paper provides an overview of the ...
