I don't know. But I definitely looked it up today. That's how bad my research has been. I can't get myself to focus on my topic for two seconds, because I am lacking direction in my dissertation research. How do I create direction for myself?
Earlier this week, I met with a professor to talk about my "anchor," the things I am going to stick to and make work for this dissertation:
- Agency and Learning
- LAEF
- ...
If I want to do those, I need to narrow it down a little, because both of those are too big. And I'm not sure I have any other option than to discuss explicit versus tacit knowledge, because that is one of the topics that will help look at agency, and is discussed in LAEF. Also, it is an area not currently being researched by another Ph.D. student.
It is also one of the largest topics in psychology, and in education. I remember learning about Flow in a class on gaming, and that's definitely related to this issue. It's a whole different body of literature than I've ever looked into before. And that's where I'm going to go. For today, this is my direction.
