Positioning myself – two become one

In G518, I’m working on an assignment, positioning in the field. I focus on enhancing active learning and critical thinking in discussion-based online education. My findings in this niche include discussion activities (foster effective instructor-learner, or learner-learner communication, questioning techniques that promote critical thinking) and content analyzing (analyzing frameworks, research methodology, and coding techniques). I found from existing literature that most content analysis models stem from social science, and psychology models to quantify story and writing.
Across the foyer to room G513, I continue my game research with The Sims2 focusing on how players shape their identities in game, and on justifying their stories. My plan is to look into the Story Exchange at the Sims 2 website and find out how players develop their life story in game play.
Although games are my sinful pleasures and I never want to be parted from them, I doubt that game research would help my profession when I finish the degree since scholars give game a bad name. While I was worried what to do with this wrongdoing (playing game), psychology comes along. Then narrative and content analysis models help me get back on track. Yes, I finally find the way to merge my fondness with my profession. In the next AECT survey, I’d definitely check ‘nature of work’ as my factors to stay in jobs.
