I admit, I am no kind of philosopher. Sometimes, a "concept" will seem to me like a bar of soap: I almost have it...but then, nope, it's gone. I conclude that I have the wrong shape of brain.
So now, I'm studying for a qualification in teaching (science) at higher-education level. The trainers (Staff Development) have laughingly pointed out that some of the reading material and the assignments are probably more "touchy-feely" than scientists are used to. But surely, surely...this is gibberish??
"One important caution is to be aware that a threshold concept can be a form of disciplinary property and as such, its presentation in a curriculum may carry an inherent tendency to invite congealed understandings.”
My understanding is definitely congealed! Can anyone tell me what disciplinary property is supposed to be? Please let it be a typo...
