Communicating Ideas
Response to Skype Discussion 8pm 02/12/2018 Experience speaks for itself, so it is important to write from the “I” perspective to demonstrate the ability to reflect and give voice to the research enquiry. As kinaesthetic learners it is sometimes difficult to transform experience into a written form of communication. As dance teachers, we use a particular tone and choice of words that we would not necessarily use in written communications with our students or with academics. We work with visualisation and mapping movement using creative description not in depth analysis and reflection. Thus, expressing using academic form and language can sometimes feel trivia to us. Constantly questioning our own opinions and views is not something we are used to doing as part of our everyday teaching. I actually feel that through the process of this MA, I have become more reflective and intuitive in my everyday teaching activities.
