My first Skype of the semester

Wednesday 5th Feb at 8.15am marked my first Skype this term.

It was with one module three student and the rest of us were module 2 students.

It was comforting to know that my fellow module 2 students were at the same stage as myself. We are all reading and narrowing down our inquiry topics.


Some good points to take away from the Skype:

• Go and see what other people have said about the inquiry topic you are considering and see what literature is out there 
• What interests you ? ( with regards to picking an inquiry topic )
• What will benefit my practise ? Pick a topic that will be of benefit 
• Look at the ethics surrounding your topic
• Research qualitative research ! This is the type of research we will be dealing with in our inquiry 

One concern that I had was that I wasn’t sure how to put my initial inquiry ideas into the question that will be used for the inquiry. Adesola reassured me ( and others with the same worry) that it will take time to get the exact question of the inquiry. She said it is likely that by the end of module 3 you will confirm that ! 

So as always we must trust the process. 

Similar to module one , all became apparent as you worked your way through the module. 

Adesola emphasised the importance of researching really well in module 2, to ensure module 3 time is used wisely and correctly. 

Another useful reminder was summarised in a diagram :

Topic ——-Ethics ——-Literature

Whilst we are at the early stages of selecting our topic we need to look at the ethics surrounding it and to research the literature available.
