Exploration - Two Types Self-Reconnaissance Situational Reconnaissance
Self “…an exploration of [the action learner’s] beliefs and behaviors within the investigation context.” (Dillon, 2007) Situational “…an exploration of the particular context.” (Dillon, 2007) Reconnaissance • Where are you? • What do you hope to achieve? • How are you going to get there? (McNiff, 2000)
Exploration Questions to Ask • Self • Why is this important to me? • What do I know? • What assumptions have I made? • What don’t I know? • What do I need to know? • What do I hope to achieve? • Situational • Who else might be connected or impacted? • What might they know? • What have others said or written about this? • What questions do I need to ask? • What other data sources might I access?
