I found it very difficult to finish my enquire form. I think it was mostly due to not having my research question defined for quite a long time. Additionally, I say that in number of my posts and writing for my ARP unit of the PgCert – but it is very important for me to highlight – I was very new to the idea of action research within my field of studies. This project felt overwhelming at times and somehow my apprehension grew every time I tried to work on this form. From the perspective of time, it was unnecessary, as the comments and help provided by my tutor where a huge help and allowed me to move on with my project.
This is my first draft with comments:
I found the link to blog on writing a strong research question that my tutor provided me in on of the first comments extremely useful. It motivated me to look for some more resources on this subject and I created Research Question Padlet to keep the information in one place (presented in a visual and easy to access way). I kept coming back to it when writing my question. I liked the idea of using Padlet for gathering resources and keeping track of my readings this way. I used it a few times during this unit.
I worked on the second version of the form in November. You can see that I have not finished some trains of thoughts being distracted with work and feeling not my best. The tutor’s comments were so helpful again. Especially suggestion regarding the research question itself and moving some sections around. This allowed me to finish the form by 4th of December 2023, and you can see it below (V3 of the form).
