Advice to Module 1 and 2 on 'THE BIG QUESTION'

Module 2s are currently being thrust with the task of finding that 'question' for our inquiry... In order to find this - it is advised to discover a Big Question (or a few big questions...) relating to directly to our own practice and experiences in order to branch out from that.

Today, during the campus session, we got into groups to discuss ways in which to explain said Big Question phenomenon that is hard to grasp - it's understandable yet sometimes hard to articulate. The Big Question is relevant to both module 1 and 2, as it is as much about finding out who you are as a practitioner as anything.

We found a good way to visualise 'grasping' this Big Question - an image of an umbrella containing a big question and the droplets form the smaller subheadings which are more personal and relevant to us. At the start of the session, I had in fact jotted down 'For an inquiry question - is it ok to have a broad umbrella that subheadings stem from?'

Summarising this analogy of The Big Question resulted in something along the lines of :

Think of the biggest question in the smallest way and most relevant to you and specific to my practice.

Personally, as a module 2 student, I think the route to finding my inquiry question is asking what is the big question reoccurring throughout the study of my practice and my previous blogs. My job now is to refine this question into one more specific to me and my line of practice.
