Skype Session Module 3


We have just finished our Skype meeting about analysis and synthesis.

Thank you Maria, this was very informative.
Thank you everyone for your input on my topic, it was extremely helpful.
I'm now going to go away and look at more literature including 'Dancers talking dance' and try to find some patterns to start triangulating data. I intend to use my field work opinions as a bonus and concentrate more on the patterns found in my literature, I will now also start to look at the patterns in the silences, where no literature is found. This was a very interesting topic as I'd never thought that people not talking about something was as eye opening as lots of people talking about the same subject.
There was an interesting point made about how different countries perceive audiences and also how audience members in different countries perceive performance. Maybe this is something I can look into.
I was pleased to find out that my framework can evolve as my research progresses because at this moment it is very broad, I am confident this is achievable because I went through something similar in Module 2 when trying to pin point a research topic.
I am excited to get started with my focus groups and questionnaires and also looking forward to hearing about everyone else's topics and how they are getting on throughout this module. This Skype meeting has made me feel a lot more at ease, knowing that everyone is in the same boat and we can help each other to achieve our goals.
Please let me know if you want to discuss any of your topics, I'll be willing to help or at least lend an ear if you need to talk something through.

Reflection

We did it! We handed in our last module. I have spent some time going over old journal entries and reflecting on what I have found out about myself over this process. This final module was the most extensive so far. As a process, this has been time consuming, sometimes stressful but ultimately rewarding and a positive experience. I have found it difficult to keep motivated and meet my targets. To help counter this, I implemented a strategy that included realistic target setting through a working diary. This has enabled me to systematically complete the module, improve my organisational skills and has reminded me that through hard work and perseverance, I am able to reach my goals. Exploring different research strategies   encouraged me to analyse myself and help me grow in confidence, realising that I wasn’t searching for an answer but for more enlightening information that lead me to more questions. I decided to take a pragmatic path, dealing with my research in a sensible way...

The Start of a New Term

Our welcome back Skype meeting on Sunday was very informative and has got me excited for what this new term and module will bring. I am looking forward to getting stuck into module 2 and starting some research. I found the screen sharing and unihub walk through incredibly informative, as I have found the site pretty confusing in the past. I am looking forward to using the online library resources and am also planning to utilise my blog and read others blogs more often this term. Adesola explained that there is a link on her blog page that you can click and you subscribe, so therefore, get an email every time she posts. This is extremely, helpful as I have quite a busy working life and find I miss blog posts quite often. Now I will never miss anything and will be up to date with new announcements and articles. I plan on posting some of the interesting articles I found during Module 1, because hopefully they might benefit other people as much as they did me. Looking forward to chatt...
