This article draws upon the authors' previous work on the opportunities and challenges learners face as they move into, through, and out of transitional learning spaces. The authors argue that equipping students to locate themselves with/in the tensions of learning is imperative, especially in postdigital learning environments. Teaching in ways that enable students to acknowledge their 'will to learn' and to understand that liminal learning can prompt distress and disjunction or the ability to think differently is discussed. This article begins by examining the relationship between the postdigital and the liminal, offers an Integrated Model of Transitional Learning Spaces, and presents different types of disjunctions. It then explores how learners navigate the liminal and concludes by arguing for a need to focus on postdigital learning and liminal learning in a changing higher education landscape.
本文借鉴了作者之前关于学习者在进入、经历和离开过渡性学习空间时所面临的机遇和挑战的研究。作者认为,使学生能够在学习的张力中找准自己的位置至关重要,尤其是在数字时代后的学习环境中。文中讨论了以何种教学方式能让学生认识到自己的“学习意愿”,并理解阈限学习可能引发困扰和脱节,或者理解阈限学习能激发不同的思维能力。本文首先审视数字时代后与阈限之间的关系,提供一个过渡性学习空间的综合模型,并呈现不同类型的脱节情况。接着探讨学习者如何在阈限中导航,最后主张在不断变化的高等教育格局中,需要关注数字时代后的学习和阈限学习。
