Well we are coming to the end of our second week so i feel here i would like to voice where i am up to with my inquiry so far, i stated that last week i was going over my information from module two and booking in my interviews, this i have found particularly frustrating as i would like to work within the time plan that i have made for my inquiry and i find this increasingly difficult with interviews as people are in no rush to sign up for them and much prefer to work around there time instead of yours ( which is understandable) So as of yet i have not carried out any interviews, i have one planned for next week and two the week after so hopefully i shall have some feedback from them then.
i have spent this week begining to look at the literature that will help me further my inquiry, for one of the pieces i have decided to continue using one of the literatures i used as a trial in module two;
Movement and Dance in early childhood by mollie davies.
I decided to do this as i feel it is very relevant to my chosen inqury.
I also began by putting a poll on my SIG group;

I have had no response to this from my SIG group, but after further thought i feel that it may be because when i started the group it is off a much wider field of discussion just on dance in general and not honned in on this specific area, so i have decided to look further afield and found a number of dance forums that have different areas for teaching and different ages, where i intend to post similar questions there and see what the response is.
My next plan of action is to begin studying the literature and progress with the interviews when they booked in. I am still feeling anxious about this module as it just seems such a large scale thing to compleate in a short space of time, and i worry i will not gather enough information to produce my critical review and artefact (which i am still unsure of how i am going to produce)
but with it being the campus sessions this week i am hoping the people that went will share the knowledge they have gained to help give a better understanding.
Any of your thoughts or how you are feeling would be much appreciated.
Hi Steph,
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how much the learning on reflection in module one, seems to be the key to starting module 3. It's like we are using the ground work and foundations of the beginning to inform us along our inquiry journey later on.
I too have the feeling that, if I'm not interviewing, then I should be working on literature. And if I'm not doing that then i should be doing something else, this goes on and on. it's the fear of sitting still and not letting the time go by. Please take a look at my blog as I have written about the campus session, might help.
Who are you interviewing and why did you choose them?
Ahmet
Hi Steph,
ReplyDeleteThis is a good question that Ahmet has asked Steph. It is one that I had in my feedback also.I needed to choose people and not just because they were in my vicinity or work, its about opening up your networks and looking out.I cant believe we are in week 4 already, look forward to keeping in touch.
Best wishes,
Pauline
