I was able to gather lots of data this week as 5th graders began learning how to map their classroom on a scale (more on that later). I am now floating through the phase of the fieldwork process where you hope that your data will actually show you something, or provide some kind of meaningful insight, even if it's only meaningful to me. I'd setting for that. I am learning a lot and enjoying my time collecting information that I perceive relates to students' understanding of place, but I am not at all sure that combing through the mountains of information I will have come December, will really show much of anything.
I do take solace in the notion that all I may be able to "conclude" by next May is that I have a lot more places to look for information on the subject in the years to come. Seems kind of inevitable actually.
