Recently I have been feeling quite lost in the way I convey my project and felt the need to redefine my research question. I had trouble with identifying the focal point of my topic, failed to address my topic in a clear and succinct matter, and conveyed it in a wrong way. I’m redefining it right now in order to gain evidence and feedback from the area that I had always intended it to.

6.14 about education

For my project, result-based education acts as part of the “compost heap” in the mind for me as a writer/creator of fiction.

For my intervention on May 13th, I created a fictional, exaggerated version of results-based culture. My aim is NOT to create change in the structure of the Chinese education system(it’s impossible). It’s to use the negative experience of an individual to create something beautiful. A piece of speculative fiction like Black Mirror is only going to reveal an incident to possible stakeholders rather than change the incident itself. But revealing as an action does create change.

The intervention does provide evidence to a research question, but not the research question that I chose before. I need to doublecheck the function of interventions and the specific field that I want to change.

Research Question updated up till now: How can we measure the impact of fantasy-based fiction?

A project on fiction, unlike a design project, doesn’t have stakeholders in a particularly focused field, and the impact it creates is relatively intangible. It inspires change in individuals rather than creating tangible change itself.
