The Threshold Concepts pedagogy is gaining ground and finding worldwide.
It adresses many aspects of learning theory never before addressed:
** how learning is sometimes having elements of a ritual
** how student identify changes
** how importance of concept is not so much related to gateway experiences in perception but otger traits
Each curriculum should include at least 8 such Threshold concepts and one central one. In physics, force and energy are given this status in standard curriculum.
But recent studies in Australia with learning connunities being manned by physicists found that measurement uncertainty is a more apt central concept
The Q is, schould we listen to this theory and refedign our curricula, at all level, based on its insights?
