• “A threshold concept can be considered as akin to a portal,
• opening up a new and previously inaccessible way of thinking about something.
• It represents a transformed way of understanding, or interpreting, or viewing something

• As a consequence of comprehending a threshold concept there may thus be a transformed internal view of subject matter, subject landscape, or even world view.”
(Meyer and Land, 2003)
