Reflecting on the Field Inquiry Process
1. Methods
· Is the sequencing of activities appropriate?
· Were the data collection techniques used appropriate? Why?
· How could you have done better?
· Is there consistency in the recording of data? How did you ensure accuracy of data? How would you improve this the next time?
· What challenges did you face during the collection of data? How did you resolve them?
· What is lacking in your data? What new data would you have collected?
· Are there any other sources you think you could have used to verify your data?
2. Presentation of Data
· Based on your purpose and inquiry question, why did you choose these methods to represent your data?
· Are there any other ways of doing so? How would it have affected your analysis and interpretation?
3. Analysis and Interpretation of Data
· Did you approach the analysis of the data systematically (for e.g. comparing data and classifying information based on similarities or differences for better understanding of the inquiry)?
· How would you improve the analysis of data the next time?
· What the thinking processes are involved in your interpretation of data? How would you have done the interpretation differently the next time?
· What is still puzzling you?
