Over and out... for now

 I can't even explain the overwhelming sense of accomplishment I feel after completing my presentation this morning but this photo of me in NZ from 2019 pretty much sums it up!!


Firstly a huge well done to Jen, Olivia, Clare, Shelley, Katie, Roanne, Alys, Chloe and Olivia for your presentations. I feel like I have learnt so much from your short presentations alone and the information and ideas you shared were enriching and have given me even more to think about in regards to our wider industry!

The journey I have been on throughout the BAPP course has definitely had its ups and downs and on more than one occasion I felt like giving up because I didn't know if I was on the right track or not. My advice to anyone in Module 2, Module 1 or even people considering the BAPP course is to try your best to be open minded to the experience and accept that there really is never a right or wrong answer.

Reflecting on my journey has highlighted just how much I have grown as both a practitioner and as a learner and I am grateful that I stuck it out because the sense of pride I feel right now not just for myself but for all my fellow Module 3's that I know have probably had similar journeys is immense!

Wishing everyone presenting tomorrow the best of luck for the final part of our BAPP journey :) 

See you all on the other side

How do you link your data through analysis and reflection?

Tonight I was finally able to make the module 3 call and it was everything I needed at this point in the inquiry process. Before we started Helen read a excerpt from the KORTEXT  "nothing is lost, but we can get lost in it"  What we're saying here is that its not how we get the data for our inquiry, all research is valuable, but how do we figure out what to do with it? This was one of my biggest questions and the part of the inquiry that I felt I was hitting a wall with - the analysis. First of all Helen reminded us of some key points when thinking about the analysis section of the report: Do something with the data - don't include 'raw' data in your report, yes you can use quotes to support your themes but make sure you do something with them. Reflect on what research you have gathered - what relationship does the data have to the lens of your professional practice? What does it mean to you? Analysis is a process - more often than not you will step away fr...

Onwards and upwards... Starting Module 2

 I can't believe the blog I am about to write is about starting Module 2?! The last time I blogged I had just completed my first draft of my Module 1 essay and I hadn't even started my diagram - it's safe to say that my work/life balanced took a huge hit at the end of last year and every time I thought about sitting down to blog or read what other people were sharing, something else came up. This is something I am actively looking to change throughout Module 2 so as they say... onwards and upwards! The open discussion from Wednesday morning was the first I have ever been able to make - usually I work full days but with the current lockdown I have been lucky enough to have a little bit of extra time.  The discussion group was mainly made up of Module 1 and 2 students with a few Module 3 students which was an absolute godsend! I think I speak for every Module 2 students when I say anytime someone asks a question I would find myself staring through the screen at the Module 3 g...

Catching up with Module 3

As I outlined in my previous blogs this term has been a tough one! My new job has taken over much more of my time than I initially thought and I found myself struggling to keep up with the workload so I was extremely grateful for the arrival of half term. I have managed to catch up on the Module 3 blogs that I missed and they were exactly what I needed! It was nice to have to opportunity to hear what everyones inquiry was and how they were finding their initial data collecting but having finished my final interview last week it was that Data and Analysis recording that I was most desperate to view. Helen started off by explaining that the traditional and more scientific definition of data probably wasn't the most relevant to our inquiry and that in fact when it comes to data we are simply talking about t he information we have gathered from a range of sources. Both Emily and Alice then went on to talk about how the data they had collected looked and felt for them at the present mom...
