Being vulnerable in your research process...



Being in the midst of your research can be daunting, but don't step away from it. Try to embrace the vulnerability of the process. Your research is yours, based in your own professional practice. You are present throughout it. Try to communicate this when you share through your written submissions and artefacts. Accept that you don't know all the answers...GREAT, accept that the journey is more interesting and allow yourself to be in that in-between space between knowing and not knowing. This is the beauty of study, of research, pushing yourself beyond what you know and being ok with the vulnerability of not-knowing.

Last night's skype talked about connections and how we are in relationship with our research, how we feel and sense our experiences through this process. In module one you are situating yourself within your professional practice, in module two developing areas of wonder to travel into through designing a research inquiry that has relevance to you and your professional development, in module three you are the practitioner-researcher, you are at the heart of your inquiry. Try not to overlook the significance in that as you begin to communicate your inquiry process through your essay, presentation and artefact.

Synthesis of information ..Module One focus skype

Last night we talked with a module one focus about relationships between practice and theory, between creating an essay and a diagram, we discussed constellations of stars, trees, plant roots as possible visual ways of mapping practice and talked about process - that all learning is a process, and moving between mapping a diagram, writing an essay and producing a diagram or artefact is all part of the process of developing the establishment of your professional practice in module one. The essay and diagram are ways of communicating this.
