Amalgamation of Data

I have started to amalgamate the data from my questionnaire's, literature review and journal ready for analysis and I am really pleased as I can already see themes emerging. Some aren't expected but this is really interesting and raises further questions!

How is everyone else getting on in their inquiry? Comment below :)

Areas of Learning

Slowing mapping out my diagram and planning my essay alongside each other seemed the best idea until I came across my Areas of Learning. I struggled recalling on knowledge I had learnt and how this manifests in my field of practise now. After my tutorial with Maria it became clearer to think back on an experience and not just recall that experience but focus more on the knowledge learnt from it and how it transfers to my Professional Practise now. As a self employed performer who also teaches my approach to knowledge is transdisciplinary. As more than one discipline is being used to contextualise my knowledge. Therefore when thinking of Areas of Learning I was relating to life auditioning as a professional dancer and life teaching. I came up with a few different ideas some are more vague then others.. Throughout private dance classes growing up I always danced in front of a mirror so learnt how to self correct. This was then carried through to today when I attend auditions to watc...

Looking at my Practice- What do I want to know more about?

Looking back at my diagram from Module One today and reading through the literature ' What Moves You, Shaping Your Dissertation in Dance' by Charlotte Nichol and Lise Utyyerhoeven sent over by Maria has got me thinking about the topic of my inquiry. I have been looking at the literature on a few different topics that I felt were gaps in my diagram from Module One, and therefore lacking in my Professional Practice that I would like to know more about. Reading through existing areas of dance scholarship within the book have cemented the areas I am currently looking into however now I need to choose an area to focus on. I am interested in Dance in Education as I am currently teaching dance within the recreation sector however I wish to gain a PGCE in the future to move more into dance within education. Therefore I feel looking at the principles and practice of teaching in schools compared to recreational dance would be a good topic. I am also interested in Dance Science and...

Artefact

I have been mulling over how best to present my inquiry process during the analysis phase over the past few weeks. I spend a lot of my practice teaching young children Freestyle Dance and always find myself using imagery or stories to explain something to them. I'm not sure whether this comes from finding this useful myself as a child or that I find this method of teaching most appropriate and successful. I, therefore, decided I wanted to use imagery and verbal explanation to inform of the process I have been through. I was unsure of what imagery would best portray this process still linking to my subject field. I started off thinking I wanted to use a large ball of yarn (this being the subject I started with ), vast and complex. It would then unravel, but many pieces would interlink or overlap. However, I couldn't think of how this could relate to my subject, and at the end, I didn't want there to be one piece of yarn coming to an end (that is not how the journey I have...
