I stopped with education because of the stakeholders. I realised that teachers and students and guidance councellors were not what I wanted to form as a network for my future career, so I decided to change my topic. To redirect it to the area of fiction.

Intervention on May 13th

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 word “fiction” has to be part of the research question. If I edit it out, it will cause confusion amongst my audience because simply writing a tale inspired by result-based education is not going to change the system itself. I have tested internally at school and the audience, both tutors and fellow cohorts, has given me advice solely on the education part and nothing on the fiction part. That explains how I didn’t “reflect” on the advice and feedback received, because I had trouble with identifying the focal point of my topic, and conveyed it in a wrong way, therefore receiving feedback in the wrong area.
