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 ❤️

  1. 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!

Induction Week 13.9.19

This is my first blog being a Module three student. I begin to stress on how lost I feel right now in my studies, but with the induction Skype blog last week I felt a lot more at ease. Unfortunately, due to work commitments, I was only on the Skype call for 30 mins which is half of the session but thank you to my class friend Marianella I was able to catch up via the recording I was sent. The induction was very helpful as it allowed the MAPP dance community to come together and share ideas with new students on module 1 up to present students in module 3. Adesola guided us through the importance of communication with our peers and class friends through Skype sessions and blogs and also the importance of UniHub. Adesola  helpfully shared her screen and lead us through UniHub where we could find our module handbooks and other important information regarding the course e.g  library resources and class timetables and calendars.

what I think knowledge means

Knowledge to me is an networked product. Knowledge to me is something you have experienced and learnt along the way of either your professional practises or day to day lifestyle. Like George Siemens I believe knowledge comes from networking and people gain more knowledge and experience through social media.

how is the literature I am reading helping and supporting my writing

Tonight’s Skype session 4th November 8pm (London time) with my class mates involved “embodiment” and different ways of learning.  Personally I feel like my writing process so far has been difficult; as discussed I express myself through dance and as a performer and dancer I feel reflective writing is a difficult process. I feel by reading several literatures it helps me discover my own experiences and understand my own knowledge.  ‘Art as Experience’ by John Dewey gives different understandings of having an experience and I feel when I read someone else’s questions and answers I am able to then reflect and write on my own knowledge and experience.  By listening to someone’s point of view it helps me remember and understand my own work. Literature I have read has provided different expects and connections on knowledge and different approaches which also helps with my own reflective writing. David Kolbs learning cycle has helped me understand my own teaching and learning st...
