Raw notes from 02.11.21 analysis and data zoom recording

 Hi, here are my raw notes from the zoom recording of the analysis and data module 3 discussion group. Hopefully they make sense!

ANALYSIS AND DATA MOD 3 ZOOM RECORDING NOTES:

1.     Data, analysis, reflection and relationship of those three things, and what to do with your things once you’d gathered it.

2.     Reflection= critical part of analysis.

3.     You interpret it. Shouldn’t be including raw data as such, quotes can be included but it is more reflection what you have gathered ad what it means to you. What you do with it and how you interpret it in the lens of your practice is what make it meaningful to your research.

4.     Read module handbooks for links between topics and data

5.     Reflective journal as a data source- and also step back and remind how this makes sense to me because of how I see my practice, along with how the approach I have taken affects how I am analyzing the information.

6.     Bring back key texts from module 2 if you think they are still relevant. Read new things now to have a broader understanding and what is the new meaning?

7.     Interpretation is more important than definite answers, more questions about something is equally as acceptable.

8.     See if there are themes that came up in past modules.

9.     If research contradicts data or personal experience could talk about that.

10.  When you find other perspectives/ open up new questions and avenues of inquiry note down - could show that it is all non-conclusive and/or depends on how you look at it.

11.  Journey of inquiry- artefact- reflective journal e.g. researched this, how you reacted/ felt, what you learnt. E.G. 'Read books by these key scholars, I gathered some data by interviewing people, I sat with it a while a felt a bit muddled, and then I came to an interpretation of, I think this is what I am learning from the process'- what you’re doing in your artefact and presentation is communicating that to them

12.  What you draw from your research will be impacted by how you view your practice and will determine how you move on with your practice.

13.  Presentation- how do you see this research process/ how has it been, developmental to your practice?

14.  You bring the dance lens. What do you bring to this data? We interpret it through the lens of who we are, everyone’s interpretation could be different. Your interpretation of the information around you is what is making it meaningful and making it into something it wasn’t before.

15.  Don’t just put data side by side, and don’t just present the data, need to do something with it- reflect on it and say what it means to you.

16.  Why did yo react to something that was said?

17.  Don’t have to include all data, but do have to demonstrate your ability to make choices about what you include and what you talk about and the integrity with which you come to that information. How do you talk about the things that came up?  What have you done to understand them better?

18.  ANALYSIS- For draft/ feedback= think where you want feedback, sign post to supervisor, highlight bits, ask questions, know it’s a working draft. Tell them= how you are approaching it, how you’re organizing the data, tell us some of the things that you think are coming up, and tell us what questions you’ve got around it 

19.  OVERVIEW- remind of approach taken to the research, what you’ve done, what that field research looked like and felt like, ant changes in that. Overview of what you actually did
