Critical Reflection on module 2

I am going to look at module two, explaining what I have gained, the ideas that have become present in my studies and my experiences I have had exploring the three readers.

Developing lines of professional inquiry

When reflecting on Reader 4 I thought deep into where I am going. I have so many avenues to explore being at the beginning of my career. I shared all my thoughts; (Appendix A). Little did I know that a lot of the questions and inquiries that I had linked together. Even though my phone calls to Paula were few and far between due to my circumstances, I was always able to feed of her to define my questions. Realising this I made it a regular thing to discuss my progress and get ideas from the cast I am currently working with.

Due to the limited Internet and also the storm “Sandy” I did find this module a struggle; (Appendix C). I wanted to share all the ideas I had and my views on others blogs. I tried to do this as much as I could, by saving peoples blogs to my computer and writing out a reply for when I could get connected was very beneficial. So many people had good ideas and comments that would help me progress. (Appendix D)

Professional Ethics

I never realised the depth of ethics; personal, professional, organizational and social, that’s a lot to take onboard. However the more I read and researched the more I realised it was common sense. In the world we live in, it’s nature and nurture for the majority to be brought up in an ethically correct society.

My personal ethics were something I had to reflect on continuously. My ethics are just something that I do everyday they become nature and it was difficult to clasp the idea of them being virtues that I have. When you work for a company they have there own rules that you should follow but that still allows you to have your own - (Appendix E). Within my inquiry I need to follow the ethics of the company I will be working with, also considering age and consent as well as me personally.

Tools of professional inquiry

This is all about trial and error. When piloting the tools I gained unnecessary information, inaccurate statistics (Appendix F) and was under prepared. When I looked back I needed structure for even the paper that I take the data down on. I need to ask the questions that are going to get the answers on the information I lack (Appendix G)

I now feel a lot more confident in myself for when I have to use these tools in my inquiries. I feel I made all the mistakes to insure they will not happen again.  Listening back to the interview the more confident I became the more information I got from the participant. From everything I have learnt from Module 1 and Now Module 2 I feel I am ready to conduct an ethically correct inquiry using the tools I have to their full potential.
