The liminal space can be described as one point of learning to another. Baillie, Land & Meyer  state that “throughout ones learning journey the liminal space exists as a transformational space that allows a student to move between learning movements”.

This is closely linked to personal growth, which does partially relate to the personal learning space. Self-efficacy, direction and motivation allow us to enter and stay in the liminal and then take risks to move forward in our thinking. This space also correlates to the constructivist theory, with the idea that children are not empty vessels. Learning occurs when students are actively engaged in the process of new knowledge and not passively receiving information.
