Areas of Learning (AOL's)

-
I am currently focusing on the essay task and believe that the Areas of Learning play an important part in this.
I have written some concise notes summarising the module handbook information on the AOL's in order to help myself and others remember the key aspects whilst delving more into their AOL'S and deciding what to write about!

AREAS OF LEARNING
-THE KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE FROM PAST EXPERIENCES.

The meaning of a 'Transdisciplinary Practice':
-e.g. being a dancer and a teacher (having more than one element to your practice)

KEY QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER ABOUT YOUR AOL:
-What is my knowledge pool?
-What have I learnt through experiences?
-How has this been transferrable?
-How have I applied these principles to new situations?


HOW TO BEGIN?
-Start by making a list of things you have learnt!
  • What was the situation that I learnt this in?
  • How has it changed what I do now?
  • How have I transferred the learning to other areas/situations?
.....  Then generalise!

I have also been making lots of spider diagrams and lists which help me to think of ideas (this has really helped).

    Thank you for sharing this Becky. It's great to read your thoughts to consider, and the highlighting of transdisciplinary practice which I something I can relate to. This has given me some great new ideas to add onto my current thoughts of my own areas of learning. Look forward to reading more of your future blogs.

Beginning Module 3

-
Hello! I hope you all had a lovely summer. I can't believe I am going into my final Module in BAPP but I am ready to get stuck into my inquiry research this week. It was really useful to receive my feedback from Helen about how I can be improving my work going forward. I wanted to share my main aim this term: Trying to work on adding more depth and discussion in my literature reviews by relating quotes and showing their relevance to map my field of inquiry. Best Wishes, Becky

Module 3 Focus Skype Discussion 01.10.19

Hello! I wanted to write a little bit about the Module 3 Focus Skype Discussion for those that were unable to attend. One concept that we discussed was Triangulation. This is something that has been a bit of a grey area for me until now. From discussing Triangulation and unpicking the definition I feel I have a better understanding and really want to apply it to my inquiry data collection and analysis process. After looking up definitions of triangulation I have summarised it to this: 'Application and combination of several research methods in the study of an inquiry'. Adesola also discussed a great analogy which really helped me to understand even further... If you were to push a square, it will change shape. However, triangles are strong structures. Using three sides (e.g. using three research methods rather than one) then this provides strength. Rather than just using a 1:1 comparison, we can see three sides and analyse in greater depth. I really hope this helps ...

Hello! I thought I'd share an update on where I am at with Module 2. My chosen inquiry title is 'How nutrition impacts a dancer's performance'. I understand that this title is quite broad for now and that has been worrying me over the past few weeks. I spoke to my tutor about this and she has reminded me that we are going through a journey and that you will discover and find out more along the way which may lead your title to change slightly, maybe making it more specific. For now I am working on my literature review and opening of my essay. I'd be interested to hear where everyone else is at with their work and how their ideas are coming along? Becky x
