Having realised my questions lead to a yes or no answer and are created for the participant, I have now considered what else I must find out in order to devise my line of inquiry.
1) What is already known about the benefits of using ICT in Education?
2) What is known about the effectiveness of using Power Point Presentations in teaching?
3) How widely is ICT being used today in business / the working environment ? And how can this prepare students for their future employment?
4) Is there research which already exists on using ICT in dance lessons?
5) In your own experiences, how may ICT be used to support your work?
I will be researching the above questions prior to revising my questionnaire tool, which I will use to receive valid and reliable feedback.
I think you have some great sub-questions here - what about the pedagogic issues of the use of ICT along with the practical uses? I think you have expanded on those and have begun to really to to some good aims - what you want to come for the inquiry and objectives - the practical steps to plan as a part of a practitioner research project. However, as I continue to look at these - I wonder if you can't get the critical or conceptual ideas of the use of ICT in dance to be more in the forefront. Then collecting practical data can be used with a more theoretical framework.
ReplyDeleteI google before - but again - try dong your literature searches in the Middlesex library - so use Summon after signing into MyUniHub or go to the Libguides - in this case I went to theatre arts and searhced the keywords ICT dance - or a similar word search - actually it is quite fun to do the searches - and for Part 6 - the tools of looking at literature and school documents - can help produce an 'umbrella' inquiry question that you can use to focus your research.
