Entwistle’s Epistemology: Job Coaching for Meaning - Juniper Publishers



Entwistle suggests four fundamental approaches to learning: deep, strategic, surface, and apathetic learning. These approaches to learning represent a continuum of learning from the more comprehensive and in-depth approach to a more superficial, rote memorization approach to learning. These strategies vary in terms of the depth of learning that takes place-deep learning being the most integrated learning and apathetic involving only a “bits-and-pieces” approach to internalizing information. Competence in using a particular approach is context dependent: “an approach, strictly speaking, can only be applied with any confidence to a particular teaching-learning environment, as the approach is the result of an interaction between the student and that context” (2000, p.4) [3].

The primary disorders comprise schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, delusional disorders, schizophreniform disorder and brief psychotic disorder. On the other hand, it can be attributable to more general mental health conditions, personality disorders, psychoactive substance or mood disorder for instance major depression or bipolar disorder [2-4]. Schizophrenia is the most common psychotic disorder and it occurs at the same rates across women and men. Thus, as it’s assumed that women and men are affected by psychosis to the same extent, the same holds true for parents (either mothers or fathers).
