Update No. 5 (confusion?)
firstly thanks to those who took some time out to read my Chapter 1 (first draft) and either left comments on the blog or gave me feedback in person.
just a couple of things to make clear - that perhaps haven't been made clear enough so far...
1. this blog is being kept separate from the project itself.
i'm using it to track my progress (so to speak) but also make available to you guys currently reading it in the hope to get some feedback on what i'm doing and how the project is progressing. i've only sent this out to a few, but soon i'll hopefully get a chance to post up a recap then make it available to more.
so just to be clear, when i refer to blogs in documents like my first draft i'm not referring to this blog
2. was brought up by someone in the comments on the last update...
that it seems like im attempting to re-create some of Checklands work. especially when you compare what what was described in my Chapter 1 Draft with books like SSM in Action, which does literally does look at SSM in the first part then SSM in Action/Practice; looking at examples of SSM being used.
after reading my first draft again - i do agree it can seem like i'm trying to attempt this. so far my Chapter 1 first draft is quite vague, is a very rough draft that does need revising.
just to make it clear, what should have been described in chapter one was ...
that im essentially researching into the problems students commonly find understanding SSM from the core texts.
then taking my findings and using Case Studies/Real World Examples of SSM being used to 'better' illustrate/describe aspects and areas of SSM which students often strugle with.
My findings from the investigation will help form the artefact - which will assist help students learning SSM.
hopefully thats cleared up a few things?
just to keep you guys informed, i've decided to change the direction a little thanks to some of the feedback i've received on what was just described but also to give the project a little more direction
i'll leave it there for now... and update over the weekend.
