One of the main things I learnt about my approach is that I need to focus on quality not quantity so here I go........
Moving on with my new skill set acquired it is time to start asking questions about my own personal practice in my work. But what does that really mean? Are we not constantly asking questions about our practice? Just like I am asking questions now ahhhh! After the campus session with Alan Durrant and fellow students the importance of working out WHAT a question is and WHY we are asking it became a key concept to grasp. Once this is gained a QUESTION can be formulated. I put question in capitals because I feel there are different types - ones we ask in the moment without much thought and ones like that we a trying to formulate, well thought out and researched.
So what is a question? Here are a few thoughts:
A question is something that needs or wants to be answered.
A question is a someone trying to acquire knowledge about something.
To find truth.
To problem solve.
To debate.
To interrogate.
Why do we ask certain questions?
They are driven by interest but located in experience.
Your background influences how you see things - values.
We live in a specialised society where we train and invest in a discipline so have underlying preconceptions and assumptions.
Ontology - where I am coming from in asking my question - unpack experience.
Serendipity - the act of making a discovery by accident. What accidents got us to where we are.
This video highlights our instinctual curiosity and want to ask questions - it is a cute video and a taster of a child's why? why? why?
It ends with a quite an apt question for a lot of us on BAPP - WHERE WILL YOU LEAD ME NEXT??
