As an action enquirer examine and describe how action enquiry/research fits into the wider research family
So here I am to explain and decribe how AE fits into research but I am to do it as an action enquirer. I wonder if they mean this quite the way it sounds. It sounds as if one should use the techniques of AE to ‘examine and describe’ AE’s place in the wider picture of research. So a way forward might be to reflect on what aspects of AE differentiate it from other forms of research, and then to double loop and question its underlying assumptions. Hard to do that in what is unlikely to be more than 400 words Might make it more interesting though :-)

Identify some different types of action enquiry/research and explain the differences .
Ok this has to be some sort of diagram or mind map – Eve’s led the way here with her one. Do I use Omnigrafflle, Appleworks or do one by hand I wonder? How did Eve get the tool to allow her to include diagrams – save as html perhaps? I might get away with allowing 200 words for this.
Explain the ethical considerations associated with your proposed action enquiry.
Hmm,Eve is right about this one. It needs to be specific to my research but I wonder if at this stage it can be some quite general and fuzzy remarks rather than detailed and in depth. Refer to the ethics hotseat, explain why I’m going for ‘opt out’ not ‘opt in’ letters to parents, importance of giving participants chance to see what words and attitudes I attribute to them.
