Wednesday 2nd October 2019 module 3

Yesterday’s Skype call with my module three class mates and Helen was based on “what we are doing” for our research inquiry.

This call was very beneficial for me as we spoke about data collecting and organising along with analysis and the meaning behind the word ‘triangulation”.

I wanted to hear some of my class mates advice and thoughts on how to manage and organise data that is collected for their inquiry because at this point in my studies I am too observe workshops and watch performances alongside reading relevant literature and hand out 12 questionnaires. Class mates advised me to keep each material (data) separate from the rest and take control of my strategies for organising. By this they advised ‘catorgrizing’ and using ‘sticky notes’ and ‘highlighting’. 
We was asked about the word ‘analysis’ and what we thought it meant to analyse data. To me analysis is a detailed examination, by this I mean it’s looking and experimenting (how, what, why) and looking to see if there is anything what keep coming up similar to maybe what others have said or thought. Is there a similar pattern happening or same answers coming up?
Helen also spoke about ‘traingulation’. As explained in our module handbook “analysis for this research inquiry is a triangulation of three things:
The field 
The literature 
Your experiences and reflective thoughts 
To my understanding these are the three things I will be comparing and analysing throughout my investigation.
I really enjoyed hearing everyone’s thoughts and loved hearing about their own personal research inquiries. I look forward to exploring into people’s perceptions and attitudes within dance and disability ❤️

    This was useful to read - I'm also in the process of receiving my questionnaires back from the volunteers for my research project. Considering I chose to hand out an open-ended questionnaire for quantitative analysis, I am also currently reading and higgling responses. Hope yours goes well!

ethical approaches

I recently read a book by Earl Babbie (2010) called The practice of social research  which touched on qualitative and quantitive reasesrch and ethical issues.  As I work through my module 2 assignment “inquiry project” I start to look at my research methods and approaches and how to be considerate within my research methods. One of the research methods I will be using is observation and questionnaires. As I continue to look at ethics and what it means to me, I think about the words  ‘considerate’ and ‘confidential’. I’m unsure whether I should lower my standards or opinion for working with people with and with out disabilities. I believe I shouldn’t change the way I teach or change my character. I think about interview approaches and questions I can ask with the thought of being ethical. I am ethical within my professional practise everyday but always push my students to the best of there ability with also thinking about ethical approaches and issues.  Should I be lo...

communicating your ideas Sunday 17th November 2019

Unfortunately I had to miss this Skype call but thankfully my classmate filled me in on the dicussion and from what it seems there were many conversions between voice and communication. My classmate had said the call was directed to finding your own voice in different mediums and example of this would be ‘your writing voice’.  I wanted to speak more on communication within an inclusive dance class. For me this is something I sometimes find difficult within my own professional practice. Although I have previously wrote a blog on my communication with disabled dancers I feel like my knowledge has developed and my critical thinking and analyses has improved.  Finding my voice to me is challenging when working with all ages and abilities and this is something I have been challenged with on a day to day basis. A teachers voice is so important within a classroom but how is your voice acknowledged to someone who has an hearing impairment ?  Last week Monday, I taught an open dan...

knowing and learning MAPP Skype session

On Sunday 29th September I had my second group Skype meeting with my class friends and lecturers.   This Skype call was focused on learning and knowing.  I believe to learn is to already acknowledge my own prior experience. It was very interesting to hear other people’s thoughts and opinions on the importance of learning and their own learning cycle.  I feel like I learn by doing, to do is to learn (being active in the moment). This is something I have touched on whilst blogging on David Kolbs learning cycle throughout module 1 and 2 which he calls “a concrete experience”. By reflecting on experiences is learning. In my everyday life as a professional and as a student I feel like there are many ways I am learning. I learn a lot about myself by approaching certain experiences in life whether it’s within an educational setting or outside of studies.  We talked a lot of the process of learning and what we think knowing and learning is.  For me, you learn whilst tea...
