Meyer, Jan H. F.; Knight, David B.; Callaghan, David P.; Baldock, Tom E. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2015
Threshold concepts are transformative, integrative, and provocative; understanding these difficult concepts allows students to be capable of solving advanced problems. This investigation and evaluation of a metacognitive curricular approach explore variation in students' and teachers' discernment of structural complexity of concepts and its…

Lundholm, Cecilia – International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education, 2004
Describes how first-year civil engineering students interpreted the content and structure of an ecology course. Students' learning processes were analysed from an intentional perspective, i.e. a perspective that takes into account the students' educational aims and conceptions of the study situation. Interviews were carried out with six civil…
