Session 4. TOTAL as Outcomes-driven
Are There Opportunities to MoveFrom Content Outcomes to Threshold Outcomes?
Topics: Sidebar: What outcomes should we consider?
Threshold Concepts in subject domainsWays of Thinking and Practicing in a disciplineThreshold Capability in the metacognitive/metalearning domain
What challenges arise in targeting these Threshold Outcomes?
Session 4. TOTAL as Outcomes-driven
Are There Opportunities to MoveFrom Content Outcomes to Threshold Outcomes?
Outcome: Project teams will be able to Identify opportunities and issues for Outcomes-driven transformations Commence work on the Outcomes-driven section of Task 2.
Fundamentals on Defining Outcomes in reading for Session 6
Topics: Sidebar: What outcomes should we consider?
Threshold Concepts in subject domainsWays of Thinking and Practicing in a disciplineThreshold Capability in the metacognitive domain
What challenges arise in targeting these Threshold Outcomes?
What learning outcomes should we consider?
course grades, degree attainment (including time to complete?)
acquisition of general knowledge, development of subject area competence,
development of cognitive skills and intellectual dispositions, occupational attainment,
preparation for adulthood and citizenship, personal development and maturity

Note that some are binary steps, some measure on a scale, some are ‘significant accomplishments’ where “we know ’em when we see ‘em”

What challenges arise in targeting these Threshold Outcomes? assessment issues delayed until Session 9
Work Time on Task 2:
What Threshold Concepts and Capabilities need to be addressed?
Are there other concepts and capabilities which can be de-emphasized?
