I was unable to make the online session regarding ethics but after reading Adesolas blog http://adesolaa.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/step-gently-on-line-campus-session-with.html and reading other students blogs about the session i have been able to take a step back from my inquiry and look at it differently.
Finding the answer
Firstly i was panicking about finding an 'answer' and now realize that this is not the object of my inquiry. But i can find out more. Learn and research and hopefully be able to offer people advice and some knowledge and understanding on the subject. It may sound cliche but this can better my teaching skills and therefore benefit my students. for example why they need to be physically corrected in a dance class.
Assumptions
Thinking about assumptions really sent me off on one! I realized that my opinion on my inquiry (that the safeguarding of children has all got a bit mad!) was perhaps effecting my research; i wanted to find that other dance teachers felt the same as me and had picked out quotes that agreed with my feeling. I was glad that Adesola had mentioned that your own assumptions are a good place to start but now i need to take a step back and look at my inquiry again. I think that perhaps my question needs to be adapted slightly; should teachers be educated on the best way to physically correct students? Should teachers working in the dance industry take a course in safeguarding children? Should all students/pupils receive some sort of document when they join a dance class that a 'hands on' approach will be used to benefit their learning? ALL OPINIONS WELCOME HERE AS I'M STRUGGLING ON HOW TO WORD THIS! Will put this question in my SIG later.
