Campus session 1

Prior to attending the campus session on Friday 22nd February I had an idea of what I needed to do but no real action plan to implement these ideas. The campus session helped me to focus and to prioritise the tasks that lye ahead.

Step 1: Review feedback from plan etc - Action: I have sent my changes to my tutor.
Step 2: Literature review / gaining permission etc - Action: I am reading and carrying out further research. I am preparing my disclaimer forms to gain student/teacher consent.
Step 3: Carry out inquiry and activities - Action: I am starting to prepare / make arrangements to gather date (lesson observations / workshop / survey / interviews etc).

We each created a diagram to represent our opinion of a professional inquiry. Some of the key words were;


*Thinking forward (making changes for the fututre)
*Reflecting


*Reading
*Research
*Experimenting

*Collecting data
*Analysing data
*Gaining knowledge
*Observing others
*Beneficial (to ourselves and others)

These diagrams looked similar to the Kolb Cycle mode. Relating to his module for question and answer, reading, looking, analysing and sharing (see link).

    Hi pauline,

    You have had an exciting time recently, a little jealous, he,he. Yes the children are lovely but time consuming so finding the time for Uni work has been difficult, but I have now made a timetable for study :)

    Will you be attending the next campus session on Wednesday 13th March? Looking forward to it and would be great to catch up.

    Love Gemma
