Becky's BA Professional Practice Blog

Hello! I thought i'd share some of the things discussed in todays 12pm Skype call for those that couldn't make it. The Skype call focus was thinking of methods of data collection other than the use of interviews. This is something that has really helped me as my plan was to focus on interviewing other dancers. I am now going to look into using information that is already known and utilise the wheel that is already out there rather than trying to recreate it. I am planning to interview some dance nutritionists and also using literatures on my inquiry topic as a method of data collection. We also discussed the differences between qualitative and quantitive data and touched on the ethics behind interviewing including leading questions and wasting time by asking questions you already know the answers to!

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
