Lecture 3 : THRESHOLD CONCEPT


 
Reflection on Tuesday's lecture which was created by Meyer and Land. To hear that 2015 is first class to be taught INFORMATION LITERACY. Let me say we are very fortunate . As future librarians . we can implement what we have learn into our various libraries. The lecture explain the threshold concept , which formed a framework for information literacy for high education which guided by ACRL.
 The Threshold Concept , I understand as passage that a learner go through it. There are six frames which is named after a particular threshold that is: scholarship is a conversation researchers as inquiry , authority is structured and contextual, information creation as a process , Information has a value and searching as exploration.

There are characteristics and features of threshold concept. Mrs Mohamed explain the following threshold concept's feature : Transformative , Integrative, Irreversible , Bounded, and Troublesome. The learner change to new ways of thinking , practising, understanding and adapting to change. As The learner's view change it integrate with other sources. Since the threshold concept changes the leaner, the learner now is acting like a professional. For example I am doing a LIS. I am thinking like a librarian. What the learner have acquire can not be reversed or unlearned. The learner have empowered himself . the learner is able to be involved in discussion, reading and writing. It the duty of the teacher librarian to encourage the learner to use different sources and recognise those sources.
I find this pic very much interesting as the bird fly from the dark to the light.

Reflecting on the specific contexts and environments in which they work, participants will share their interpretations and applications of the Framework. In addition to engaging in readings and discussions related to the Framework, individuals will develop an instructional activity or lesson plan that relates to one or more of the ACRL Framework’s threshold concepts
