Zoom - Module 3 focus

-

 On Tuesday 23rd we had a module 3 Zoom, titled “what are we doing?”


 I was intrigued to see what this call would be about as obviously we know what we are doing but hearing the broad scope of inquiry topics we have throughout module 3 I defiantly gained more curiosity with all students in the call. 

After we had talked through our inquiry and told the class what we was up to within the research. We then had the opportunity to start using more academic research vocabulary to ensure we are introducing our inquiry correctly. 

Key vocabulary that came up was;

Inquiry = the research that we are doing to gain information.

Method = the way you collect the data: for myself this is, desk based research, interviews and a reflection journal. 

Methodology = the way we are actually doing the research. For example; non positivist, positivist, qualitative, quantitative.

Ethical considerations = any harm or issues that may happen because of research being taken place.

Ethical protocols = the steps you put into place to help prevent harm or issues happening.


Overall it was really nice to finally see and understand everyone’s thought processes during this stage of the research and where they are up to. It gives a clearer understanding that this inquiry is a process and its normal to start to feel confused before things start to make sense.

    Hi Hannah, I agree it was lovely hearing everyone's ideas. I think feeling lost and confused is ok because it gives us the chance to keep an open mind as to what may arise within the research. Thanks! Alys x

Discussion group 17/02

Creativity and Data Sources.  Tonight's zoom call was an interesting discussion to a view from all modules and everyone's inside thoughts of where they are up to with understanding their practice. One of the first discussion points that came up was, areas of learning. It was nice to think back and to see how far I have come throughout studying this course.  When I first started this course I remember not understanding what my areas of learning was or how to even start unpicking them.  The key way I did this was looking at my transferable skills and where I can take my creativity and performing arts skills into other areas of work, which could and would broaden my practice in the future. Other comments that students made about this was, thinking about what your practice has taught you. Thinking of significant moments within your practice that has influenced you. This was an amazing one for me and I was even unaware of it happening. I possibly wouldn't of realised it either w

"Diagrams"

-
After a few weeks of trying to put together a solid idea of what I was going to do for my "diagram", after a short 1-1 with Helen today I finally feel like I have a set idea of what I want my outcome to be. I had three ideas in my head all very different, I had even started two of them. I was finding it really difficult to understand what was the "right" way to go about it. With the criteria being so wide and open, I felt a little out of depth with what was expected of us. I feel like the way I now look at my practise and what is significant to me presently is completely different to what it was like when I was in my training, and this is where I was struggling, In training I was influenced by the choreographers and dance styles I was studying as part of my criteria then, very influential people like Martha Graham, Cunningham, Fosse, and Fred Astaire. Now after taking a slightly different route down the showgirl style, rather than musical theatre. It got me thin
