Module 2 Skype call- Thursday 7th of March

This Skype call was based on data collection which I  found very useful as we discussed other ways of collecting data other than interviews. We also discussed the difference between qualitative data and quantitive data:

Qualitative data- A sense of finding deep meaningful answers, a sense of feel.

Quantitive data- Hard data, using calculations and numbers.

This call helped me to realise that most of my answers will come from literature research as there is a lot out there which will help me with my inquiry. After my research I will then go on to do a few interviews with dancers at different stages of their careers. On the Skype call we discussed the importance of asking questions in our interviews that will inform us, not to prove what we already know. This is something that I will think about a lot when thinking of my questions because I would have asked questions just to confirm what I already know however now I see that that will only waste time.

I am now starting to consider what my analysis plan will be in detail and what I am going to do with the information I learn.

I am interested to hear everyones thoughts!
