The final part of the Action Research Project is presenting our research, both in person and online. This is not without its challenges, which predominantly in my case, was cramming everything in within our 10 minute timeframe.
It can be hard to know what to prioritise, when everything feels interesting (is it though?) and feels important towards accomplishing the highest possible grade (is it though?)
After much wrangling and many dramatically failed attempts at getting everything in within the 10 minute window, I adopted a totally different approach, inspired by an idea one tutor mentioned in passing. Rather than trying to squeeze everything in within the 10 minutes, I would instead omit several areas of interest, and prepare optional slides on these which can be delivered if these areas come up in the Q&A session afterwards.
If they do come up, then I am prepared! If they don’t come up, then they hopefully weren’t that important anyway.
So, the main video of my presentation, which comes in at 10:46 (within the +/- 10% allowance!) covers the following areas:
00:00 Intro
01:09 Social justice perspectives
02:04 Research introduction
02:26 Staff interviews
04:06 Student workshop
06:05 Student interviews
06:56 Survey
07:24 Intervention concept
08:46 Intervention documentation
09:09 Conclusions
You can view that video here on Youtube, or embedded below.
Following that, there is also a video which explores various other areas which may arise in the Q&A. This video runs at 21:21, but I do not imagine all areas will be covered in our 10 minute Q&A slot, and the video is divided into chapters, so that it is possible to only watch specific areas of interest. These chapters are:
00:18 The challenges of observations
01:45 Grounded theory qualitative interview coding
05:08 Why I chose a group interview format for the students
07:59 How I analysed my research and developed my intervention concept
15:07 Food as a social justice issue
19:03 How I gathered feedback from the intervention
You can view that video in full here, or embedded below.
I hope this offers an agreeable format for exploring my final presentation (for anyone not able to attend in person on January 17th), and I will additionally upload a following blog post which contains only my slides.
