Research Questions

ellacowan03_ — 2023-10-13 11:26:35 UTC

Explore the lack of education around swimming amongst the black community in the UK
- What are the reasons behind the lack of education around swimming amongst the black community in the UK?
- Does history still have an effect on the black community and their knowledge of swimming ?

Methodology notes

ellacowan03_ — 2023-10-21 15:11:00 UTC

· Quantitaive study by swim England already exists therefore have chosen a qualitative method to find out the reasons behind this data

· Qualitative method will help to find rich and meaningful data

· Qualitative method approach will be through semi structured interviews

· Discuss research limitations: lack of studies from the UK, lack of personal details, a lot of historical and quantitative data

· Does my study have any limitations? Discuss these

Future Me

ellacowan03_ — 2024-04-23 08:39:11 UTC

This research will help me to be more inclusive in my teaching when I'm older
I have got a job working in Spain at a swim school in Mallorca in the summer, this has expanded my knowledge on swimming
P.E teaching is the final goal, research in to the barriers and making things more inclusive is more important
