Information Literacy,
Threshold Concepts, and
Disciplinarity
Sheila Webber, Information School, University of Sheffield
Bill Johnston, University of Strathclyde
ECIL, Prague, October 2016
Threshold Concepts
• Transformative concepts within disciplines
• Identified by experienced teachers in their discipline
• Enable learners to conceive the subject in a new way &
experience possibilities for deeper disciplinary thinking
and practice
• Mayer & Land (2005: 386) identify ways for educators to
use TCs to facilitate “epistemological transitions, and
ontological transformations”
• They note danger of structuring teaching mechanistically,
which might encourage mimicry rather than understanding

Key strands
Weaving the strands of
pedagogical research
• “threshold concepts are used to
determine areas of the curriculum that
require focused design attention;
• “phenomenographic action research
is used to identify what it is about
these concepts that students find
difficult to understand and
• “variation theory is used to guide the
design of teaching and learning
activities to address these difficulties.”
(Akerlind, McKenzie & Lupton 2014:
228)
TCs disconnected:
consequences & anomalies of
separation
Sheila Webber & Bill Johnston, 2016
• Sidestepping the question of disciplinarity: focus on
librarians teaching IL to learners of other disciplines
• No study of TCs in IL for people studying IL as a
discipline in its own right
• TCs fixed within the ACRL Framework project, not
acknowledging that IL is experienced differently in
different disciplines (though note that librarians are
exhorted to develop framework in own context)
• ACRL Framework has been criticised, but often seen
as issue with TCs, rather than issue of not
approaching TCs in way originally intended
Some anomalies
Sheila Webber & Bill Johnston, 2016
Consequences of transplantation
• Issues arising from appropriating TCs to a
situation constrained by the barriers which
librarians face in developing IL education
• Evidence that there is pressure to incorporate TCs
in reductive ways (e.g, Oakleaf, 2014)
• This can negate transformative possibilities and
lead to mimicry and surface learning
Sheila Webber & Bill Johnston, 2016
Reconnecting with the
pedagogical research
for the IL discipline
Sheila Webber & Bill Johnston, 2016
Applied pedagogical research:
the case of IL
• Teaching IL to those learning IL as a discipline –
currently, mainly trainee librarians
• Akerlind et al. 3-strand approach plausible and
productive
• Constraints
– Problem of discipline-denial within the LIS community
– Epistemology of the discipline vs. body of knowledge of
the profession
Sheila Webber & Bill Johnston, 2016
TCs in the discipline of IL
• ACRL provides an experiment in the application of TC theory
to IL
• Also need to reflect on context from which pedagogic
theories arise & and the context in which you are going to
use them
• Given that librarians are central to teaching IL, it is important
that trainee librarians engage with the complexity of the
discipline of IL
• You discover the TCs by asking those who are teaching IL to
people who are studying IL
• This has yet to be done: need investigation of IL as a
discipline, to inform the next generation of librarians and
educators

Information Literacy, Threshold Concepts and Disciplinarity

  • 1. Information Literacy, Threshold Concepts, and Disciplinarity Sheila Webber, Information School, University of Sheffield Bill Johnston, University of Strathclyde ECIL, Prague, October 2016
  • 2. Threshold Concepts • Transformative concepts within disciplines • Identified by experienced teachers in their discipline • Enable learners to conceive the subject in a new way & experience possibilities for deeper disciplinary thinking and practice • Mayer & Land (2005: 386) identify ways for educators to use TCs to facilitate “epistemological transitions, and ontological transformations” • They note danger of structuring teaching mechanistically, which might encourage mimicry rather than understanding Sheila Webber & Bill Johnston, 2016
  • 3. Threshold Concepts Thinking & Practising in the disciplines Variation Theory Phenomenographic Research Part of wider landscape of pedagogical research on disciplines’ teaching and learning Approaches to Learning Entwistle & Tomlinson (2007)Marton, Hounsell and Entwistle (1984) Meyer & Land (2003) Teaching- Learning Environment Akerlind, McKenzie, Lupton, and Trigwell (2010) Constructive alignment Biggs & Tang (4th ed.) (2011) Sheila Webber & Bill Johnston, 2016 Key strands
  • 4. Weaving the strands of pedagogical research • “threshold concepts are used to determine areas of the curriculum that require focused design attention; • “phenomenographic action research is used to identify what it is about these concepts that students find difficult to understand and • “variation theory is used to guide the design of teaching and learning activities to address these difficulties.” (Akerlind, McKenzie & Lupton 2014: 228)
  • 5. TCs disconnected: consequences & anomalies of separation Sheila Webber & Bill Johnston, 2016
  • 6. • Sidestepping the question of disciplinarity: focus on librarians teaching IL to learners of other disciplines • No study of TCs in IL for people studying IL as a discipline in its own right • TCs fixed within the ACRL Framework project, not acknowledging that IL is experienced differently in different disciplines (though note that librarians are exhorted to develop framework in own context) • ACRL Framework has been criticised, but often seen as issue with TCs, rather than issue of not approaching TCs in way originally intended Some anomalies Sheila Webber & Bill Johnston, 2016
  • 7. Consequences of transplantation • Issues arising from appropriating TCs to a situation constrained by the barriers which librarians face in developing IL education • Evidence that there is pressure to incorporate TCs in reductive ways (e.g, Oakleaf, 2014) • This can negate transformative possibilities and lead to mimicry and surface learning Sheila Webber & Bill Johnston, 2016
  • 8. Reconnecting with the pedagogical research for the IL discipline Sheila Webber & Bill Johnston, 2016
  • 9. Applied pedagogical research: the case of IL • Teaching IL to those learning IL as a discipline – currently, mainly trainee librarians • Akerlind et al. 3-strand approach plausible and productive • Constraints – Problem of discipline-denial within the LIS community – Epistemology of the discipline vs. body of knowledge of the profession Sheila Webber & Bill Johnston, 2016
  • 10. TCs in the discipline of IL • ACRL provides an experiment in the application of TC theory to IL • Also need to reflect on context from which pedagogic theories arise & and the context in which you are going to use them • Given that librarians are central to teaching IL, it is important that trainee librarians engage with the complexity of the discipline of IL • You discover the TCs by asking those who are teaching IL to people who are studying IL • This has yet to be done: need investigation of IL as a discipline, to inform the next generation of librarians and educators Sheila Webber & Bill Johnston, 2016
