This week we had some good conversations around research inquiry with the Module Three students.
We shared what it is we are all doing, in research terms, not being afraid to state that the research is taking a qualitative approach (methodology) and to look at what that means and how it connect with data collection of interviews (methods) for example .
Those in the call shared experiences so far in this process and we talked about digging further to look at different perspectives to your own when heading into the inquiry, to really approach the inquiry as an opportunity to explore and get to know an area of your professional practice more deeply. Think of it as a journey, adventure, exploration rather than a 'thing' to tick off or solve. B Be open to what you might 'find' on the way that you didn't set out to.
Remember you're not trying to prove anything and research can be messy...and that's ok!

Hi Helen,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing what you discussed. This is especially helpful as I was unable to make the call. It was reassuring to read that others are trying to dig further to look at different perspectives to our own, sometimes I am finding this challenging.
It has certainly been interesting so far as I research to notice the things that emerge and accept/embrace them as interesting or valuable, even if I did not set out to find that specifically, as you say above.
Thanks again,
Lauren
