The Researcher in Me

I have come to understand that in many ways I have always followed an action research
approach without knowing what it was I was doing. I think I am increasingly aware that

within my practice I have not given enough time to observation as part of the creative

process of Planning, Implementation, Observation and Reflection.

Photo 4.11 is a drawing from a personal journal emphasising the requirement to not
only think and act, but to observe as I move from iteration to iteration in my practice.
