Over the past while I have been working on my critical review for module 3. Things have been chopped and changed to give the initial structure of my first draft. What I find interesting is that every time I go back to look over what I've written - I find correlations between the literature and data collection analysis. There are many factors within my inquiry that influence or underline each other. More and more I am finding that there are few strict "separate sections" within my critical review. Instead I have found it helpful to tie in views and research stemming from different sources in order to reach a resounding theme or further questions. I am quickly coming around to the idea of using literature to underline or compare with data collection and my own experiences.
Another aspect of the inquiry which is becoming clearer is that we are not solving the world's problems in 6 weeks. As I am gathering information and analysing it; I have benefited from the small realisations along the learning curve. Anything that is relevant and helpful to me in my professional practice is significant in my eyes.
I may not be solving the world's problems; but I am learning how I may progress as an actor within my professional practice.
Interesting what you said about not solving the world's problems, I have been feeling the same way. I keep reminding myself that it is the impact of new discoveries on my practice that is important. I have also found so many strands to my inquiry and so many discoveries in a sense that I am trying to be selective about the most key points of the inquiry.
