The Results Are In...

Hi there,

So if you saw my post from yesterday I was conducting a short experiment to see if I know myself well enough to be able to say what kind of leaner I am.

I have done Honey and Mumford's test and the results are in...

Activist - 13/20 (Very strong preference)

Pragmatist - 12/20 (Moderate)

Theorist - 11/20 (Moderate)

Reflector - 8/20 (Very low preference)

I can safely say I was right in believing I am an activist. However I was surprised to see how close the other scores were. It has shown me that I am using different ways of learning in my work, but I can still develop these much further. I was sad to see that reflector was my lowest, however this whole part of the BAPP Arts course is about reflection: on ourselves, our work and others, so it will be nice to hopefully see a clear improvement of my reflective skills using the BAPP course.

I really enjoyed doing the questionnaire, and would highly recommend trying it, especially if you are unsure on the way you learn best!

Task 3c: Sources Of Information

The next task is focused on where we get our information from. As I have been looking through others blogs I have noticed that everyone uses a variety of sources to find the information they need. In this blog I will be telling you my sources of information and how helpful I find them to help me progress in my career. When I first looked up sources of information I found that most can be put into 3 categories: Primary Information Secondary Information Tertiary Information These are quite self explanitory but I will break them down for you. A Primary source is firsthand information about an event, for example our journals that we have all been writing. They are sources which have not been edited by a second party yet. Therefore a Secondary source is an analysation of a primary source, these include reviews, text books and even most of our blogs would be a secondary source as we analyse various pieces of information. Tertiary sources are often used to gain fact...

Summertime... I just sit back and un...Do lots of research!

So as I haven't posted since handing in my final Module 2 bits and bobs, I thought it was about time I updated you guys as to what I've been doing on here. Firstly, as i had a pretty hectic year I decided to give myself a break for a couple of weeks. Just to relax and set my brain back to 0 once more. More recently I have been reading and writing lots and lots of notes down ready for the next and final module. I am currently going through a few different books based on community dance, but if anyone has any recommendations that would be fab! I have spoken to a few of my colleagues as well and they are all rummaging through their book shelves for me too which is lovely! I am thoroughly enjoying this and learning so many new things ready for me to put into practice when September starts and the new terms begin. I'll keep you updated with ideas and my tryouts to see what works and what doesn't (hoping they all do!) Anyways tha...

First Week Back!

Hi all, So summer is officially over, and I think the weather is definitely reminding us of that! During the summer I had a lot of free time, so I was researching and planning for the year ahead, as well as going along to so many interviews for new job opportunities to help develop my career. As this was the first week back at university it was time to put my plans to practice. I must admit I have struggled having such a huge gap between modules but I am now feeling ready and replenished to give Module 3 my all! Let's get going! I am now working in 2 different stage schools, one is definitely more community based. Alongside this I am still working for the same dance company where I teach all ages from 3-100 years old (and that is no exaggeration). They have also offered me office work within their company which is amazing as I can learn what goes on 'behind the scenes' when running your own company. I have also signed up to 2 diffe...
