Today I had a really good skype session with Paula regarding where I am with my inquiry and also looking at some of my questions that I will be asking my interviewees.
We discussed how to explore in more depth on some of my answers that are 'given' and see if I can find any extra information that will help towards my enquiry. Looking at journals such as 'http://www.danceadvantage.net' and other blogs from other BAPP students should help with this.
Looking at some of my questions, we discussed on what influences my teachers may have had to decide on whether they were going to do syllabus work or non syllabus work, and I am going to research more into this, including trying to find someone in ISTD headquarters to speak and ask a few questions to help with writing my questions.
Paula asked me a good question 'why do children do exams/perform' and in all honestly I couldn't answer fully to begin with, but I think finding out more information with my interviewees answers and my own research will help figure out this question.
Also finding some good debates from some of my literature should give me some questions that my interviewees can sink their teeth into and give me thorough answers that I can analyse well.
