Research and Epistemology part 2

Not knowing something, leads to going about and researching about the "something"

but in order to get the knowledge of "something" you have to go through an approach that allows for the best kind of research, the process is more important than the outcome. Similar to last week lecture we were shown the cycle of research and how we should go about it. The process should include all the methodologies you've obtained from the last research and should interrelate with the new research making new links, these new links should also be researched. Making new connections can also be done by using what other people know.

The more research/information gained helps with linking new connections and helps to find a solution from the practice you undertake.

the process of research has been informed by previous blog.

Research + epistemonology part 1

Research practice and learning is never ending and is a cycle we have to go through when approaching subjects to research.

Two types of research include the following:

Primary Research: Researching and gathering your own data.
Secondary Research: Gathering and researching Existing data.

The research can either be quantitative or qualitative data. and can be gathered from a variety of different sources.

"Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing" which happens everywhere around the world.

We then need to take this research and put it into practice, the practice involves checking the data and putting it against the theory/question being placed, this process will most likely fail and fail which is good as it will give you a better understanding of what works with the data. "In order to succeed,  you must fail" this helps with finding the solution to the problem.

Data/information can be obtained from anywhere and could be just opinion, which needs to be analysed, is it good enough to generate knowledge that is relevant to the research, Does the author know what they are talking about.

From practice, we then learn and evaluate what could have gotten better and what should be done next time when researching a similar subject.

The flipped classroom

Don't be reliant on others and take charge of your own work, Hardd Blu invented the concept of Flipped classroom where the traditional methods of teaching was limited, and since the concept came about Students in the 60's wanted this change, and the result from this made a revolution new way of teaching allowing it to be a way for students to be a collective. it wasn't about the teachers anymore, it now becomes a focus on the students, allowing them an exploration of deep learning.

Visual communication could be used as a weapon, using this, people started to police and make rules which gave wrong impressions to others, for example, "them clothes are not cool" clothes show's the identity of someone and this caused many problems.

We all learn so much when we are young (anyone can learn anything) you just have to go and learn. we learn from different experience implying that teaching is not teaching, which can be expected, it's what is learned. everyone learns from each other.

We take inspiration from many things but there is stuff that needs to be learned. the more experience you have in an area the more likely you are going to do better, an example of this would be an artist and athlete were challenged to run 100m, of course the athlete is going to do better. Same also happens when challenged with drawing a subject, the artist is going to do better.

We as a viewer should not be passive and should always think about what we are told
