Self directing discovery

As I embark on Module three, I can say I am excited but also apprehensive. Excited as I get to discover and explore a topic area I am inquisitive about, but also nervous to how I will do this in the time given. Over the summer, I spent a lot of time reflecting, talking my ideas through with others and really trying to understand what I would be trying to achieve by carrying out the inquiry. My ideas changed, at times I felt confused and didn't really know what I was trying to achieve, whilst trying to work out what I thought the outcome would be at the end of the inquiry. Until I realised I will never know what the outcome will be, if I am to authentically go into the project with the unknown. 

During the introductory skype, the differences between learning outcomes on each module came up. In education, especially as I am a teacher, there is a tendency to think as we progress we move up a hierarchy of levels and challenge. However, as I am learning this is not the case in MA study, where I have started to work different parts of practice that I don't have a clear awareness I am using. 

Having looked at the module handbook, having a onus on your own practice is very important, and sometimes when presenting work there can be a tendency to tailor to audience. With module three, I guess it's very authentic as it's your process and presenting helps to articulate your ideas. I'm sure the progression back into skype discussion's will help to make my ideas clearer each week. 

Looking forward to a very challenging but exciting term.
