Abstract

We established empirically which threshold concepts our students of the Bachelor’s Programme Applied Mathematics experienced and which characteristics they thought are applicable. The set-up of the research, its results, e.g., the students’ ability to reflect on their learning, and its provisional implications for teaching, might be of interest to researchers and teachers outside mathematics. Based on our research it would be interesting to see if comparable results and implications for teaching appear in other disciplines as well. Mathematics and Computer Science are comparable.
