All part of a journey!

-
Hello!
Recently, I noticed that my inquiry research was taking me in a different direction. At first I felt uneasy by this and as though I was going off on a tangent but then realised that maybe this was the destination that I was supposed to reach all along.
When embarking on the inquiry process my title read 'How does nutrition impact and affect injury?'. From gathering my research and talking with my tutor, I was reminded that this process is all part of a journey and that maybe I would like to develop this question further. So I have taken the bold decision to not be afraid of developing my title which is now 'Are dancers informed about nutrition and its impact on injury?'. I haven't had to alter much at all about my inquiry research and plan but I  feel like this is the question I was always looking for. I believe this will more positively impact my practice as a dancer and teacher along with my interest in education.
I hope this may help someone who is developing their inquiry question or feeling a little lost.

    Hello becky! I went through the same thing at the start of module 3, after discussing my feedback with my tutor I decided to change my inquiry title to make it more specific and relevant to my practice. I have done a blog post where I discuss this part of my journey! Feel free to have a look! I hope your inquiry is going well x

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
