Current mood:

bouncy

It is good feeling to feel I learned something!
I just finished reading the article of Conceptual Context: What Do You Think Is Going On? by Maxwell, J.A.
It is very helpful when I found he said the research concept or theoretical framework could a combination of several different existing theories.
I feel happy because I have been confused and perplexed because there have been sereval posibble theory existing in my mind which are my candidate framework for my coming research. DBR, self-assessment, learning by design , summative assessment and formative assessment...

I think I probably won't use all of these theories in my future research, but to know that I could combine multi theories to sustain my design research is really a good thing....

Also, I learned how to construct my concet map . I read the term of concept map last semester, but I don't know what it is. Now I not only learned what it is but also why it is important and helpful to conduct myself research.

I think I will conduct my own concept map after I finish the learning by design books.

From recent learning experience on these classes recently: DBR, 8400, EPSY6800 , and ERSH8310, I feel it is very helpful to rule out my feeling of being at a loss in IT field. I should have taken more classes last semester.......
