More questions than answers!

I'm just in the process of completing the data analysis stage for my first assignment on the programme. I've generally found that the process for this module has opened up more questiosn, sometimes than answers! I spent a few days looking at the different methods for qualtiative data analsyis - what is the difference between converstational, discourse, content, interpretive phenomenological and thematic analsyis?! All the way through the module I hav found that I am wanting to capture and explore a series of key questions - to get a better structure in my mind about how research, knowledge, truth is undertood from different philosophical perspectives. I'm looking for ways to model this thinking and learning - concept maps, knowledge maps, mind maps etc. - not found anything yet that suites my learning preferences!

Yesterday we had a great Skype meeting on the module assingment - great to hear colleagues voices in New York and Jerusleum all discussing similar issues we are having with our research.
