#52WeeksofEdD

Day 5 of my EdD writing week. The words flowed more smoothly today. I found myself tangled in a Constructionism/Constructivism/Social Constructivism dilemma, but I managed to untangle the knots and added another 600 words to the mix. #52WeeksOfEdD

Week 8 of #52WeeksOfEdD sees me working to a deadline for my methodology chapter. I’m surrounded by notes on qualitative research while trying to keep the puppy away from the paper 😂

Week 51 of #52WeeksOfEdD coincides with the school holidays so the aim is to get more words written of the literature review. Sorry to everyone who is loving the sunny weather but I’d like rain and general gloom please 😉

First post of 2025…and it’s a good one. I’ve just submitted my thesis 😊. Thanks to everyone on here who has cheered me on #100daysofEdD #52weeksofEdD

Obligatory video of completed-for-now #EdD Thesis! One step closer! Off to supervisors and then, hopefully, submission by November 🤞 #52WeeksOfEdD #52WeeksOfPhD #PhD #phdlife #phdvoice #phdchat #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #AcademicSuccess #fridayvibes

Week 2 of #52WeeksOfEdD and I’ve made progress on my methodology so the plan is to get some words on paper. Need to add a bit to my literature review too. Typical that it’s now sunny 😎😢

Missed week 25 of #52WeeksOfEdD completely🫣 Almost late with week 26 where I really do hope to make some progress with writing 🤞

Working on my Lit Review. #52WeeksofEdD

Struggling this week with my literature review #52WeeksOfEdD 😕

Almost at the end of week 6 of #52WeeksOfEdD and I'm just getting round to posting 🙄 Still working on my methodology chapter but have now set myself a deadline to keep on track. Keep tripping up on the tense I use so some editing to be done!

And just like that, summer leave is over & I have a second draft of my EdD methodology chapter. I'm greasy, tired and may have eaten a few too many crisps while grappling with rewrites but 18000 words are winging there way over to my supervisors. #52WeeksOfEdD

Honestly, after spending pretty much the whole weekend editing my methodology chapter - I am looking forward to work today 🤣. I am now half-way through editing draft 3 of the thesis though. But, my gosh…what a slog! #52weeksofEdD

#EdD writing day, I have been enjoying Burr & all things social constructivist (thanks @PipBFSCITT for the recommendation). I have also treated myself to a new chair to keep me comfortable while I dance with the discourse #52WeeksOfEdD

The Researchers' Retreat is just one month away. Book your place for a day of focused work, whether you're working on writing, reading or data, and a chance to network. #EdD #phd #52WeeksOfEdD #52WeeksOfPhD #phdlife #phdchat #phdvoice #AcademicTwitter

Into the third year of tracking progress - Week 1 (105) of #52WeeksofEdD and the reading, as usual, has continued, also managed to write just shy of 1000 words, and got another long walk to help the brain edit the thinking that has been happening

Week 29 (133) of #52WeeksofEdD, finally back to some substantive walking, and have gotten more words on the page. First draft for a short presentation due in 2 weeks done too so feeling like a productive week

A day late but Week 30 (134) of #52WeeksofEdD has been and gone, more reading and more conversations, more words written to, the progress continues slowly but steadily

Week 3 of my self-imposed #52WeeksOfEdD and I’m starting the week in the library to (hopefully) focus and get some writing done. It’s raining so that makes it easier to be motivated!

After a day and a half of thesis editing, I’ve culled 4,000 words from the first three chapters (of course pasting them into an overmatter document - just in case 🤣). I’ve also developed a steam mopping addiction, just to get away from my laptop from time to time! #52weeksofEdD

Ended my week of #EdD writing with a one day writing get together with some other PhD & EdD candidates. If you are ever struggling with a project, gathering with others for a solid day of writing can be absolute magic. Thanks to @DrNaomiHodgson for organising #52WeeksOfEdD

#52weeksofEdD coding exercise ready for triangulation with supervisors. Co authored a paper on rural multigrade classrooms. Enjoyed support of #StrathEdD writing group @NovaLauderScott @Lynne_SCILT @lorna_ander DrDi and Majid.

So, only 10 pages of lit review amends stand between me and a Jurassic themed afternoon tea…#52WeeksofEdD
