Introducing the TCDT: Diagnosing What Truly Sticks

This is the foundation of the Threshold Concept Diagnostic Toolkit (TCDT) at Sigma-Ed — helping trainers identify exactly where learners are in relation to the concepts that matter most.

More soon. 👉 https://t.co/75R0koA9uG

[Rita Kizito @toziki]

If you can't name a concept, your learners probably can't retain it.

Without looking at your course — name the 3–5 concepts at the heart of what you teach.
- Not the topics.
- The transferable ideas.

The Hidden Equity Crisis in Curriculum Design

In low-resource training contexts, concept-light curricula don't just produce shallow learning.
They reproduce disadvantage. 🔴
Making concepts explicit is an equity intervention.

[Rita Kizito @toziki]

Erickson and Lanning gave us a test:

Check one of your learning outcomes

a. Can it complete this sentence?
"Learners will understand that…"
b. Does it contain at least two related concepts ?
c. Is it transferable beyond where it was taught?

Most outcomes fail all three.

Facts vs. Concepts (Bruner 1960)

A fact tells you what.
A concept tells you why — and it travels & grows
It works in situations you've never seen before.
That's the difference between training that sticks and training that doesn't.

[Rita Kizito @toziki]

Your Training Isn't Broken. Your Curriculum Is.

Most training fails before it starts.
- Not because trainers aren't skilled.
- Not because learners aren't motivated.
Because the curriculum was built around content — not concepts.
A thread. 🧵

@ZunairaAi Thanks for this Zunaria but I guess it is expected. How else would they know how to tag and respond to our AI queries, where it now seems AI is a person who understands each one of us personally?
