4A DEVELOPING LINES OF PROFESSIONAL ENQUIRY
LINK http://janmayer1991-janmayer.blogspot.com/2011/02/4a.html

For the first task I really started to explore the ideas and themes that related to my professional practice I looked at other peoples ideas on there blogs and found that this all really helped me open my mind and set me up for the module with a clear head to all areas of my professional practice

4B SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP

In this particular task I got to use the first of my enquiry tools which was observation. I used face book as a way to open up some discussions that related to my practice and which I were interested in. I really benefitted from this task because of the amount of feed back that I received off other students which wasn't just in writing.Other suggested links  that people gave me sparked off other new and exciting areas of my inquiry which I wish to go into and wouldn't have done so if it wasn't for this task.

4C DEVELOPING QUESTIONS

I then went onto using my second inquiry tool of interviewing, in this instance it was my cast, I studied the ethical considerations behind this as I know that they need to be considered and especially because I will be using this tool for my final enquiry. I would need to ask the person in charge if I could observe any activities and to inform them about my study and how it is important?

4D AWARD TITLE

This task helped me group together all my ideas into a title that will not only help me now in my professional practice as a dancer but hopefully in the future when I hope to teach. I tried to make sure that my title wasn’t too specific.

PART 5

5A REGULATIONS AND CODES OF PRACTICE FOR A DANCER/CREW MEMBER

LINK http://janmayer1991-janmayer.blogspot.com/2011/03/5a-ethics-and-codes-of-practice.html

For me I found that this task made me explore not only the regulations and codes of practice as a dancer but also as a crew member! Adding these along with my personal ethics that I have learnt as a child showed me how they come together and make up who I am today.

5B CODES OF PRACTICE/REGULATIONS

LINK http://janmayer1991-janmayer.blogspot.com/2011/03/5b-codes-of-practice-regulations-and.html

This specifically made me look into the written rules and regulations of my job and through doing so I now know why they are there in the way that they help us and why they are important to follow.

5C PROFESSIONAL ETHICS

Now I started looking at Ethics from another persons angle through the reader and again I felt that I could really connect a lot of the ideas in the reader into my own practice and this stimulated questions for my inquiry.Does there come a point where ground rules and ethical duties as a photojournalist should be ignored for the sake of a human life, put this in prospective with a dance teacher or a photojournalist working with an anorexic dancer and when do they step in before its too late?

PART 6

6A SURVEY

LINK http://janmayer1991-janmayer.blogspot.com/2011/03/6a-survey.html

This was another Inquiry tool that I discovered and how how successful my results were by using survey monkey and I discovered new information off different types of people which I couldn't perhaps get on the ship

6B CRITICAL REFLECTIONS

lINK http://janmayer1991-janmayer.blogspot.com/2011/04/6b-analysing-my-survey.html

From collecting my results off survey monkey again I discovered the ethical pointers that I should consider how will my data will be collected? what will happen to the data, where it will be stored and who will see it. Like any inquiry tool that I ask on people I need to think will the people I use want to know how their work is being evaluated and should they have the chance to comment on there own results or the results that I have found?

6C IDENTIFYING LITERATURE

LINK http://janmayer1991-janmayer.blogspot.com/2011/04/6c-identifying-literature-x3.html

Again like the reader I used information to spark off new ideas that I would relate to my inquiry. Do actors have the same pressures as dancers? is the pressure on a dancer a form of bullying? Was image as important a century ago than it is now and is there more money invested on clothes accessories and equipment these days? Also what about diet has this changed more so today than back then because of more media around us and how far will the dancer go to change his/ her image?

6D DELICIOUS

LINK http://janmayer1991-janmayer.blogspot.com/2011/04/6d-delicious.html

Delicious was another area that I had never been before and so to do this task really highlighted how it was so useful and how I will continue to use it, especially in my final enquiry.
