Module two focus - assumptions

We had a discussion today with a Module Two focus thinking about designing inquiry projects.
We talked about the useful role of 'assumption' - that is looking at what you are interested in or thinking about and asking yourself what assumptions you are making. Then having a look at the assumption rather than the question.

We talked about how important it is remember Module Two is about designing an inquiry (not doing the inquiry). Keep going back to the inquiry template (the areas you need to address in the final proposal) and ask yourself how what you are doing informs different areas of that. Rather than be seduced into 'answering a question'.!!

When designing the inquiry design something that allows you to have answers you don't expect.

Use the literature and other peoples artwork to help you find nuances that lead to ethical considerations.

Leave time to do your MORE form once you feel you have a grip on the topic and draft shape of the inquiry.
