The workshop was most helpful for me in terms of looking at the research cycle and thinking at what stage of the cycle I am at. I had been struggling with my research question and working on my Ethical enquiry form at that moment, and this workshop made me rethink my project. I’d realised that I may not be able to complete the cycle during my ARP unit the way I initially planned. I started thinking of focusing my research on my teaching and how we as a team can improve what we are doing. It would be the first research cycle that will lead to the next one with taking action and implementing what I found out during my ARP unit with sessions for the students.
The second part of the workshop that was important to me was a discussion on the articles we were asked to read in preparation for the session. It was great to share our views on citational justice in small groups and then talk about it all together. Being a librarian and working a lot with students on referencing, I feel these has enriched me with new perspectives on the topic that I want to include in my teaching now. I read two articles for this part of the workshop and share my thoughts in a separate blog post.
I appreciate the resources that had been shared with us in the part of the session where we talked about research methods and tools we are going to use. I have shared the resources I engaged with in my blogs on research methods (Category: ARP, Research methods).
