Hi
Well, I am embarking as Module 3 opens up with another journey. I realize the evolution of thought and understanding as I have progressed through this journey. I can now relate very well to Helen and Adesola saying that MA is about opening doors, broadening our perspective and extending possibilities, rather than re-affirming what we already know.
To be honest, reading blogs of people whom I have never met seem to have similar experiences. It did help me to understand where I am right now.
As proposed in my inquiry, I considered non-positivist approach and phenomenological perspective. I have now collected data from different methods like by conducting individual interviews, (with students aged 10-16) and group discussions with parents of minor students and by sending questionnaires to my ex students who live in the UK taking into account each participant's experience with their ideas, and thoughts., yet to collect so much more from journals, other literary sources.
I find it overwhelming...as I have collected audio and video recording, survey data, and my reflections about the entire process. I am trying to transcribe interviews at the moment also trying to think and narrow them down to few main categories.
Digging into my data, I am struggling to organize my thoughts and remain critical and to avoid projecting my own assumptions, I think support of literature will help me to formulate my thoughts.
I hope whatever I have collected will fit within my research proposal.
Do share your thoughts!
