Module Three Focus Skype call

Adesola
Jessica
Eleanor
Henry
Alexandra

I couldn't quite hear Adesola at the start of the call, but I assumed we were talking about the Artefact, however this wasn't the case and we were (I think) talking about the critical review.

Eleanor gave an overview as this was something they spoke about during a campus session.

It is an...


  • An account of your journey of your inquiry
  • What is it we've done as if someone has no idea what we have been doing.
  • Clear and accessible
  • What we have gained and keep it in line with ethics and critical thinking.
  • Analyse and crucially reflect on journey and experience.
  • What it indicated to you and how it is relevant to my practice



Artefact 

A way you tell ideas through something different than an academic essay.
Familiar to your practice, something people in your practice are used to engaging with.
It isn't the result of your inquiry, it doesn't just tell the result, it tells the journey.

Condensed summary of my inquiry

Adesola wanted me to explain my inquiry as if I was talking to someone who knew nothing of my inquiry, because if we are unable to do that then we will not be able to do it through our writing in our review.

Practice knowing what it is we want to say.

Jessica seemed to be stuck in the same trap as me - using the artefact to tell people what we found, not how it went, which I think is the case for most of us initially when we start to think about the artefact, as we worry about just repeating ourselves, however...

In module three we are explaining the same thing in three different ways -
Critical review
Artefact
Presentation

Different ways of describing the same thing


I had a bit og a 'Eureka' moment about my artefact during this call (but i'll save that for a later blog post)


Themes - really useful way of organising thoughts.
Either themes at the beginning that carry on through the inquiry, or themes that change, or they come out through the analysis process.

Something I hadn't realised, was some of the qualities I had discovered could actually be themes in themselves, which was pointed out by Adesola
