A thought for Module two...

Imagine you cannot use interviews as a method.
What other ways of gathering information during your inquiry are there than just asking someone else (to tell you the answer!!!!!!). People tend towards interviews as a go-to for qualitative research like ours but an interview is not the only or best way. Just asking someone else what they think is not enough if you have not thought about what you are going to do with what they say. For a lot of inquires this is a matter of why would they know (what you should think) any more than you already do?

We looked at other methods of gathering data - looking at journals, web-sites, specialist libraries, collections in museums and galleries, and archives of work.

Sunday discussions

This post is the overview for the discussions we had on Sunday PM (April 8^th). People attending the discussion group are writing posts so visit their blogs and comment to keep the conversations going.

During the conversations people also mentioned books, journals, artists etc... We said that all these references will be posted by people here on this blog post in the comments below. People posting references they mentioned can you please put as sentenced about the reference so people who were not in the conversation (or people who were but not taking notes) can be reminded of what the reference material is about. – thank you.

We spoke about ideas and experiences of what learning is and what it looks like in the people we teach and also in our own learning journey. Including thinking about differences in approaches to teaching according to the age of the person ‘learning’.  

We spoke about ideas about retention of ideas, ‘work’ and technique and the roles strategies of mindfulness, visualisation, and rest have in these areas.

We talked about analysing your writing and asking yourself questions in order to deepen your critical thinking and write with more depth.

 I said I would write something about the idea of analysis ‘v’ interpretation. Story ‘v’ truth.

I will be writing a separate post on this.

Please comment below about the discussion and with references etc…
