Task 6B continued...


Questionaires...

After reading reader 6 and looking at other students blogs I come across that most people were using a source called survey monkey to help produce their questionnaires as an online survey and information is kept private.

For my questionnaire it will be aimed at primary school teachers, dance teachers and people with a dance backgroud. The questions/statements will have a multiple choice section or chance to type their own opinion. I will intend to ask as many participants as possible to take part in my questionnaire but as it says in reader 6 to expect only 20% repossess rate.
I am also planning on doing a paper questionnaire for students to participate in, but for this to happen I will need parent/guardian consent for students to take part and why they are taking part.

Pros

1. easy to use an answer
2. can collect lots of data in a short period of time
3. if kept quantitative data they can be easily evaluated.

Cons

1. low response rate
2. relys on internet access
3.  developing the correct questions for my inquiry could be difficult.

Reflecting on my development in my practice. Since starting module two I have become more aware of the role of a teacher in my practice as well as where I would like my career to go in the future. I have a better understanding of the impact they can make on a child's well being and how much of a influence you can be towards them. Some teachers do not understand fully what impact they can have on students with their attitude and approach to teaching. So I begun to question myself how I would handle myself and approach situation with students in my class, the content and methods used with in my class to achieve the most out of my students. Thinking about my inquiry being around children. I researched into ethics around children and found a very interesting read here is a link as I think it will be beneficial for others to.  www.ethicsdance.co.uk/resources/downloads/A-Dancer-is-A-Person.pdf

Task 2c: Reflective Theory This task is focusing on my relationship with reflective practice, looking at existing tools with the use of critical thinking. My first thoughts when reading this task was what exactly in critical thinking? what is the definition?  I researched and came across that in fact there is no right or wrong answer.  "Critical thinking is to challenge a theory or a idea"  "critical thinking is the analysis of a situation based on facts..."  "critical thinking is looking at one's work or situation with value judgement"  These are just a few definition that I hand-picked out from "Critical thinking: An Exploration of theory and practice by Jennifer Moon" (Moon, J 2007) As I feel these helped me out the most.  Also finding a diagram of a cycle about critical thinking skills (Boundless, 2016) really helped with my understanding (see picture to the right), because I am a visual learner. So having it there as a...

New Literature.... After days and days of more researching I came across a professor Marilyn Berrett and ex-student of BYU, Erika Cravath.  Erika Cravath researched about integrating dance into the classroom for her honors thesis project with Marilyn Berrett being one of her mentors on this journey. Erika has also published a book in 2011 the title being "Creative Dance Integration Lesson Plans by Erika Cravath" It's a guide for teachers to help integrate dance into their lessons also giving example lesson plans at the end of the book.  To find this book here is the link:  https://education.byu.edu/sites/default/files/ARTS/documents/educational_movement.pdf   Also here is a video of Marilyn Berrett and Erika Cravath conducting a workshop to teachers on how they can incorporate dance into the classroom environment.   Link:  https://vimeo.com/20476307
