Document Summary

Week 10 threshold concepts: application to occupational therapy education and practice. Identify what the key traits of a threshold concept are. Explain what five ot threshold concepts are. Identify what the 6 principles of client-centred practice are. First proposed by meyer & lund in 2003.

In the same way as in the physical world, a threshold must be crossed in order to enter a new understanding of something. Proposed that in each discipline, there are concepts that are vital to understand (cid:858)(cid:449)ithout (cid:449)hi(cid:272)h the lea(cid:396)(cid:374)e(cid:396) (cid:272)a(cid:374)(cid:374)ot p(cid:396)og(cid:396)ess(cid:859).

Is proposed that threshold concepts can facilitate a dialogue between lecturers, students and educational developers.
