Areas of Learning

After the zoom meeting yeserday I felt I had alot to think about following the discussion surroudning areas of learning. I came up with five areas of learning that I can truly relate to and use refletive practise to explore different ideas.These five being; self belief, pressure, organisation, vunerability and accepting your flaws. A relfection on self belief for me is understanding you have to be your own biggest supporter. Looking back on my training I can see building my self belief led me to build on self motivation which is key to this ' be the best you can be' motto we hear alot as dancers. I also read an extract from a piece of text in which Evan Jones says 'professionals are aware of the continuous self-critical anaylsis and reflections for self improvment striving for perfection in performance' which had me thinking why on earth we do put all this pressure on ourselves and create this 'perfect' term in our heads to try and achieve a level of excellence that we have simply just made up. Self belief plays a huge part in my current life situation, I am working a full time job as a gymnastics instructor, I am taking dance classes to keep up with technique, I've just started studying again with this course AND super excting that auditions are back, so prepping dances and songs for them too. I figure this is alot on my plate but knowing I believe in myself to be able to complete each of these is enough to keep my motivation there and make time to do all of these things I am striving to achieve. We also discussed 'transferable skills' self belief is a skill I can bring with me in all walks of my life which I now begin to understand why it is so important to relfect on my past experiances. I find taking pen to paper extremely helpful for my ideas, thoughts, feelings and new information.

I actually thoroughly enjoyed the process and learnt so much! The next process i am a little weary of the coding and linking the things my interviewees have said however, i am very much focused and ready to go with the challenege ahead of me. I have grown and learnt so much through the process of building my project and i am excited to finally head into the final chapter. The interviews were very eye opening and interesting and i think once i put two and two together my work will flourish.

DRAFT WEEK- Module Three

This week is module three hand in for our drafts. Going into this week I am making final touches to my first draft which I feel really postiviely about. I have worked super hard on the analysis side of everything and have found it hard to juggle working full time but I know I have done the absolute best I can. The module has been very eye opening for me I feel like I have grown as a researcher and will be able to take so many things away from this. I am very much looking forward the feedback response from my mentor as to how I can improve and extend my work and knowledge further before final hand in.

Conclusions

This week I feel mixed emotions. My inquiry proposal is really coming along and its going in a great direction, I feel I am learning a lot and my research is developing at a great pace. I have completed my MORE application which is due on friday which I am very happy about. I have found this module interesting in terms of the level and amount of work due, but I am scheduling in times each week to work on this module. Whilst watching the recordings of the lectures, I think learning and looking at other peoples opinions and prespectives allows myself to venture down new and interesting avenues that I may not of thought of previously. The literterature review I find most absorbing and rewarding although it's the most difficult for me in terms of putting it on paper i find reading about the topic i have chosen intriguing and exciting.
