Inquiry into Action

We’ve extracted from the Praxis assignment guidelines the following segment relating to Praxis Part II:

• Praxis Phase 2
  The final part of this assignment is to situate the two studies you reviewed in your own experience and explore all connections to the work you are conducting in your RING. Please discuss your own perspective about the relevance of the research you reviewed.
• Possible areas for discussion may include:
  • which inquiry tradition is more aligned with your own beliefs about knowledge and how people come to know? (epistemology)
  • how do your own experiences shape your critique of the articles and how you might apply any results?
  • how might you step out of your preferred way of knowing and consider the question from alternative viewpoints?
  • how does your learning from this assignment inform the work you are doing in the RINGS?
  • what are possible practical applications of these articles?
  • briefly describe a follow-up study you would conduct based on one or both of these studies.

Remember to bring one hard copy of your completed draft to seminar on Tuesday, and include a cover sheet containing a paragraph or two explaining to your reviewers those areas on which you need/want specific feedback.
