of trans-disciplinary engagement thatcould be transferred to similar contexts or efforts. We conclude the paper with an outlook on theplans for an empirical investigation of student development through this initiative.2 Theoretical framework: Conceptions and functions of empathy in the field of social workThe historical evolution of the concept of empathy has its roots in the German aesthetic idea ofEinfühlung (“feeling into” objects) introduced by the philosopher Robert Vischer in the late1800s, reflecting the “projection of human feeling on to the natural [or physical] world” (ascited in 12). Building on Vischer‟s work, in 1903, Theodor Lipps, another German Philosopherexpanded the notion of Einfühlung away from its application to

for relevant statistical constructs, are then presented and discussed. An analysis ofvariations in approach to teaching on the basis of a range of key variables are presented anddiscussed. Finally we provide conclusions and areas for future exploration.BackgroundThe approaches to teaching inventory (ATI) has been developed and refined over the lastdecade. It has its origins in phenomenographic studies of teachers’ attitudes to teachingand learning in the mid 1990’s. A description of the developmental history and statisticalanalysis of the instrument can be found elsewhere2, 3 .Prosser and Trigwell advance the view that there is a fundamental qualitative differencebetween a student-centric and teacher-centric view of the learning process3

averages, class rank, andstandardized test scores. However, research indicates that there are many factors affectingretention. For example, Astin4 showed that students who tend to be more engaged are morelikely to persist; further, well over half of the variation between institutions on a measure of“student engagement” can be attributed to characteristics present prior to entering college.Fostering a spirit of engagement in students who may not show that propensity may increasestudents’ chances for success, and intervention program(s) designed to increase studentengagement are certainly feasible from an institution during the first year of study. It should benoted that the majority of Astin's work is based on domestic students, thus there exists
