The First Group Discussion
On Tuesday February 20th:
Open Skype discussion is a great opportunity for all of us to hear about other students in different modules. I especially found the group discussion beneficial because you get to talk to students who have already done your module or going to do the module you have just finished. We talked about the role of literature review, how you develop literature, what body of literature to include, how we present and analyze it and the range of different literature etc. I think these topics were specifically brought up for module three students. It is always great to be informed on what you will be required to do in the next module. I and Matthew were the only module two students and we got to hear how module three students found their inquires. There were many different ways to approach and narrowing your inquiry. Firstly, looking at your blog’s subject that you write a lot about. Secondly, benefit your own practice what is right for you and what you know the best. Thirdly, look more broadly and map the field of your interests. Helen gave a great example of, “you being a host who is building up a guest list for a theme party. It’s not black and white. Eventually you will notice it more specifically.” Fourthly, try not to reinvent your inquiry. Your inquiry should be relevent to your practice. It should be what you want to understand further. I now have better idea about how I could develop my inquiry.
