Promoting deep learning through teaching and assessment

Entwistle points out that knowledge transformation depends, in part, on the nature of concepts used, be broad enough to link with everyday experience, have accessible language, and metaphorical associations. His research with students on the question 'what do you mean by learning' revealed a journey as students realized that seeking personal meaning was more rewarding.

We are all familiar with deep and surface, and strategic. The opposite to strategic is apathetic. Why is this state ignored in literature. A Deep / strategic approach is related to high levels of academic achievement but only where the assessment procedures emphasize and reward personal understanding.

2. Teachers that focus on student activity
3. Student focused and learning orientated
