  1. Imagery, Learning and Research in Health and Social Care Dr. Vinette Cross School of Health and Wellbeing

  2. Story telling is a fundamental way of understanding our environment and relationships in it. “Tell me a story – a way to Knowledge” Dan Remenyi (2005)

  3. The ‘narrative turn’ in research • Stories that include a temporal ordering of events and an effort to make something of them. • Meanings organised into a story. • Storyteller constructs self, others and events in meaningful ways

  4. Doctorate in Health and Wellbeing Advanced Professional Practice • The nature of knowledge created through practice and research in the field of health and social care • Module aim: To tell our past, present and future stories of practice. • Session 1: • Start the story telling process • Add to repertoire of research methods and place the main activity in a theoretical framework.

  5. Theme Board Technique • Used in advertising, marketing and management • Individuals or groups • Graphic images from non-professional magazines • Reflect subjective viewpoints, individual and shared perceptions • Activate memory, stimulate statements about complex processes and situations • Generate questions/hypotheses • Assist interpretation of existing findings

  6. Using Theme Board Technique “to elicit, challenge, and shift sense-making frameworks,” (Barry 1996 page 411).

  7. The telling symbol may suggest forgotten details, reveal tacit and nonconscious understandings…suggesting new ways of knowing and being,” (Barry 1996 page 413).

  8. The way ahead An everlasting journey Inspiration, drive, energy Reality within our universe Is it all a game? Dare we open the box? Are we evolving? All intertwined? Blue sky thinking Leadership Stick to our guns And see it through

  9. Life in a pile of magazines Still see myself as a school nurse Large, extended family Striving to achieve positive outcomes For other children and families Facilitating change in adult learners Leading to discovery Identity in teams Journey will be wavy With twists and turns Swampy lowlands of practice Leading to something formed and coherent Looking back to what we have achieved Make a difference Give something back Don’t regret anything

  10. The practice is my life Negative experiences as a child Images of slave trade Disrespecting Burden and toil Work and home overlap Mutual inspiration sources Believe in joy and fulfillment Strong woman Diamond strong

  11. “The theme board has acted as a powerful visual stimulus and each time it is revisited more metaphorical images seem to emerge. It has also enabled me to reflect on what is important to me within my own professional practice as well as consider issues relating to my own professional identity.” “I entitled my poem “Life in a pile of magazines” because it seemed to me that our existence is made up of various multiple facets and we adopt and play different roles depending on our social and professional situations. I also found that this extension activity demonstrated how a small amount of text and the power of individual words can express profound meanings.” “I have personally found creating the board to be a cathartic and creative experience. Whilst some could interpret this as a potentially childish activity, knowing that there was an evidence base for using such creative techniques within academia has been enlightening and encouraged me to be more creative in my own teaching.”
