more blathering

It's amazing how putting down research for a period of time (ok in my case a long period of time) and then picking it back up again makes you pretty much have to start from scratch. I've picked up the learning orientation research again in order to get the never-ending article finished. And since it has been a while, I really had to re-do a lot of the analysis to get a grip on what we had been doing previously.

However, it has also been nice to do this without other school projects hanging over head (home remodeling projects have been hanging over my head, causing me to inhale dust, etc., but that is another story). I think I am getting a much better grasp on the research and have been inspired to look further because I'm not quite as distracted right now (although I really think sometimes I have Adult ADD..........maybe I should look up the symptoms............no wait finish the blog entry first - FOCUS, FOCUS!)

Anyway, we seem to have some findings that are contrary to previous research in the areas of learning orientation and sense of community. I'll share these findings tomorrow, along with potential research questions for the next round of research on learning orientation. I'd definitely like to get your input!
