Identifying threshold concepts specific to science learning in nursing and the development of teaching approaches to facilitate their crossing

This presentation will address the issue of threshold concepts specific to chemistry and biochemistry teaching in nursing by outlining the learning challenges faced by these students and will provide a number of teaching approaches designed to overcome conceptual barriers to learning in this area
