The second skype open discussion group shared thoughts around the inquiry process; looking for literature, looking beyond what sources agree or oppose your own thoughts, gathering data - the human element to research when it comes to interviews... with lots of input and sharing of resources from those in module three. We talked about defining an area for inquiry (module two), addressing your interests within your practice, letting things be, recognising the breadth of an area before focusing on one aspect in more detail, and about journal writing - why, what for, how??? With those in modules two and three able to share (upon reflection) what was useful about this process you're encouraged to engage with in module one. Overall their were lots of connections being made; between the learning through the modules, connecting the data with the literature with you, your practice, the world around yo, the role, place and value of the arts in education; with the possibility of looking at the learning through art more than the learning of the subject as such... lots of rich thoughts and further perspectives to consider... Others in this conversation will blog their thoughts too;
