Revised Ideas

In the previous post, I had reported that I was going to use a video/audio method for the aretfact. Over the last few days, I have been collecting some video and pictures, with text and create a short movie.. However, I feel it doesn't explain the findings and Inquiry that I have done in this Module.

Therefore, I am now decided to do a big poster/collage of the trends I have found, using images and text from different sources and making them my own. It will all relate to the inquiry, I just feel I can present this slightly more efficiently and precisely than a video. I have brainstormed and found some ideas of what I like to do and put on the collage. It is going to be large and will have my own leaflets and business on it.

Is anyone else doing this? If so... Can you share some ideas...?
Feel like I was struggling with ideas.. But may have found it now...

Arefact

Basically been trying to get through the written work of this module and then I can really go ahead and do my arefact. I feel that mine will be slightly long, and I am hoping to get a finished project by the submission day.

Decided to use images, video, audio and text in my artefact, have to keep in my not too put too much text on as the intended audience will be young dance students.

I did try and use some images from the internet, but they realised that this would be copyright. So started again with use my own images, which truthful is better for me and the work I am trying to put across. Using my personal classes and images of genres of dance I teach, seem most significant in this artefact and inquiry. As the inquiry is based on my personal views and work.

I know that Sophie and Nicole are doing similar studies to mine, but as its the 21st century its kind of the only way to get information across to people now adays. It doesn't matter what ages, its technology. More people are on Youtube and Facebook, so information and Advertising on there would be so much useful and beneficial.

Let me know any other idea you guys are doing. I feel that the internet ones are great. but anything else would be helpful.

Thanks

Students as Participants

To determine the name of the inquiry, it was essential to pilot interviews various participants. By interviewing these participants it would enable a idea of a general repsonse and the possibilies of forming one. Using more participants allow a slightly higher opportunity to form a response desire to the inquiry. However, the desired response is dependant on specific elements such as partipant interest, resreach methods used and the eviroment of the interviewing process.

Currently undergoing the Critical Review on Part one I felt it was necessary to explain the reasons of using the student participants in my resreach. Including the benefits for them and my research.

Student as participants concluded to be beneficial from the piloted studies of allowing the opportunity of a slightly more definite generalisation to be formed. By using more students, data could be generalised better and form to one response. From the piloted interviews, it concluded that the responses from each of the participants did not allow me to form one specific answer to the inquiry question.

Additionally, using students as participants allows them to learn and take into considerations their fellow participants views. When participants have an interest in the subject their involvement becomes more increased and enables them to truly elaborate on their opinions.

However, there is an indication that using students could slightly invalidate my data. This could happen from the influences of guardians. 'Pushy' parents could influence their child's thoughts and aspirations when they are choosing their career goals. I have realised that this is something that I would not be able to control, and would be a risk I would have to take.
