MAPP 2019 -2020

As our draft assignment date is slowly (yet quickly) approaching I have been spending time with my thoughts with regards to what I would like my research to focus on. Looking at the term research inquiry has occupied quite a bit of my time. What I find interesting is that you have to spend time on the questions rather than the answers to the questions. Questions then allow me to see explore, wonder, question and reflect. What was discussed in the sessions are now more meaningful as I am able to reflect on what was said and see where it all fits with regards to this course. We may know the answers to our research project. Now we have to move backwards and work through the process that leads us to the questions and the process that we will use to get us to the answers. We are addressing the content and context of the answers. Let's get to the drawing board!

I have been reading through the module handbook and I am also experiencing several thoughts with regards to what my inquiry is going to be about. I find it very empowering that we are able to reflect and learn form our individual practice. I find that this gives me the opportunity to really delve deeper into what I would really like to research. Dr Akinleye spoke about the role of assumption and asking yourself what assumptions can be made and how this will affect or impact the inquiry design....ok more thoughts to process here! I am certainly looking forward to having answers that I didnt expect. I believe however that I will have questions that I didnt expect to ask myself as well. All a part of the growth and reflection process...
