MODULE ONE FOCUS CALL: SYNTHESISING INFORMATION. 

19/04/21

We discussed: How are things in relationship with one another?

How is existing theory in relationship with our practise. Visualise our practise in relationship with those around it.

Helen reminded us all to acknowledge where the barriers are in our practise. Why and how are things marginalised, undervalued and deemed as unprofessional. Recognise which field you sit and how you are experienced these arguments.

As a group we discussed how to access literature. We found researching key words in the text a popular focal point, working through the Handbook and then referring to academic sources and finding contradictory research.

QUESTION EXPERIENCES

BE OPEN TO ASSUMPTIONS

A QUEST FOR LEARNING

Helen stressed the importance of the 'ing' in establishing. We are still in the process of establishing our practise, this is on going therefore its okay not to have a definition for this.

DIAGRAM:

We are able to write a short statement which contextualises and introduces our diagram. A couple of sentences, max. How it is communicating something for you. What you've made and why? We are able to incorporate our reference list within it if possible. Our understanding and research is infused through our diagram. It is ultimately establishing our essay in a different way. 

As our diagram is for purpose of assessment it is to remain private and not published. 

Hope this adds clarity for anyone who couldn't attend the call. Writing this blog has been a great reminder and revision on the call.

CROSS CULTURE COMMUNICATION

-
Where am I at in my study? This week has been centred on gathering all my notes, research and thoughts and understanding which areas I need to focus on. Since starting the module I have read and re-read the handbook SO many times, but after doing it again the past few days I'm honing in on details I perhaps missed the times before! I've prioritised re-reading exerts from books and journals from the Reading List and Bibliography in the Handbook and highlighting more quotes from theorists to add depth to my essay. I'm exploring how 'being adaptable' has existed and still exists in my practise. Adapting to Ship Life was an experience which I had to suddenly adapt to multiple circumstances; a new routine, confined living space, less freedom, resilience to having long distance relationships with my support network. Most importantly I adjusted to all these personal changes whilst travelling. I am going to focus on cross cultural communication and how I adapted my communi...

MOD 3 LITERATURE

After re- reading my Inquiry Proposal and Literature Review in Module 2, I am now focusing  on identifying Key Texts surrounding my inquiry to use for my Literature Review in Module 3. This brought me back to a past blog I wrote in Module 2 which I found beneficial to re read. I wrote this after a Group BA PP Call focusing on the role of literature.  I have attached the link for anyone interested.  Link: https://ellieowen28.blogspot.com/2021/10/the-role-of-literature.html I referred back to the Literature I researched in Module 2, which scholars/ experts contribute context, alternate stances and develop discussion around my inquiry. After highlighting the VIP literature (as referred too in the Handbook) I researched further into the authors background and acknowledged more of their published work, which has deepened my understanding and created new questions.  More in depth reading has developed new ethical considerations to consider regarding Personal Branding Onli...

LITERATURE THEMES

Recently I have been focusing on identifying my Key Texts. After narrowing this down I am now highlighting which themes exist and how they either compliment each another or vary. I realise that when reading literature I make written notes on particular quotes which stand out and reference each page number along the way. I find this learning method works for me as I prefer to write notes and type them up afterwards to consolidate my learning.  I created a Mind Map, with my inquiry title in the middle I branched off each piece of literature and further annotated key words from my notes. Once this map was completed I sat back and noticed reoccurring themes and key areas.   To organise my notes and themes I have created a table which I hope will be useful when structuring my literature review plan.  I am trying to process how to start this review for Module 3 without it being too similar to the one in my proposal. If anyone has any thoughts on this I'd be really interested to...
