The workshop provided an overview of the nature of threshold concepts and qualitative research. Examples were drawn from a case study where threshold concepts are being used as a framework for engaging disciplinary staff and students at the Centre of Excellence for Product and Automotive Design (CEPAD), Coventry University.
An opportunity was provided for workshop participants to explore how the notion of threshold concepts might be used to open up a dialogue with research participants or provide a point of inquiry for informing their own pedagogic research.
