studying MA Education

I have a few hobbies, i collect Rubiks cubes, and educational books (I have most of the collection of Montessori's work) I am a big fan of learning especially when it comes to anything education related. I am a big gamer playing many different games.

However this blog will mainly consist of study related content. I will post referencing methods (I use Harvard Citethemright) planning methods (mainly one specific method). I will post updates on my studies including what I'm currently working on, progress that has been made, and potential interesting research i have come across Last updated 25th May 2025

update

i know i said i would start posting more but shit has me swamped with work, uni and mental health i have been struggling to find any sort of motivation to post. i have officially submitted my research proposal and should hear back on the 21st jan 2026 wehther i am approved or not as well as finding out who my supervisor will be (i have an idea already) for those that don't know my research: my initial idea is due to the teacher shortage within the UK and potentially transfer the research and apply it in other places, so the main idea is basically to research teachers and their backgrounds and how this can potentially affect their ability to teach because for example in the UK teachers can go from any degree to the do a QTS (qualified teacher status) which even though i dont have one and dont fully know what is taught during them, my idea is that trainee teachers that dont have a previous background in education need to have an additional training as i believe that having the background and theoretical knowledge behind everything we do within the classroom can affect teachers confidence to teach, this will also cover things like teachers ability to support students with SEND (special educational needs and disabilities) due to the training and knowledge provided during the education degree they potentially come in with to gain the data im going to use both qualitative and quantitative data (mixed-methods) using a questionnaire with the PANAS scale (Positive and negative affect schedule) to measure how they felt about teaching before and after their training and comparing this with when they did their training, how long ago it was and their background (degree), I'm going to ask my previous peers to fill out as some of them have literally just finished their training, through doing this i can determine how much confidence teachers have before and after, because i know in the UK in the QTS trainee teachers are expected to almost immediately teach and that can be terrifying to some so i propose that to gain the knowledge and confidence trainees needs additional training more of a knowledge based section if they did not have any experience, or knowledge in education preciously

1st step to getting this done is justifying the research so next update will hopefully be me collecting some sources that justify the need

Hello people

I know I haven't posted anything in ages but life has been hectic recently so I haven't had too much time to do anything. so as an update I am currently working on my thesis for my masters degree, this is a 15k word research paper on whatever topic i like related to education. I have chosen to tackle one of the most important issues we face in education at the moment and that would be teacher training/the teacher shortage. the exciting part to this is i have the potential to have a max of 100 participants with my research which gives it the even more possibility of being published or actually having an impact on the educational system here in England. And as we all know research is what i want to do for a living so this brings an exciting and unique opportunity to get my name out there in the educational research field. I fully intend to start posting on Tumblr again with updates to my work.

While i haven't been posting much here I've been working on creating a Discord community which @a-fox-studies has helped me build for just being a server where i share my ideas, host lectures and my work to what it is now all is welcome. https://discord.gg/ES9EAzCRp3

🎓 Bachelors Final Year — Week 15 🎓

Been a while since I posted. I've been doing quite well in terms of mental health, and productivity because I have some exams this month.

Updates:

Bought a really really REALLY BLUE notebook and I'm so frickin happy about it like LOOK AT IT SO BLUE SO PRETTY

@studaxy sent me some money for chocolate :) ily bestie

Studying has been going good!! I finished learning the syllabus for 2/6 subjects! Yay me :))

Something happened this week which kind of threw me off a little bit but I was able to brush it off and get back on track because of my amazing friends who support me through my highs and lows I love you guys @winryrockbellwannabe @biochemiststry @studaxy @larstudy @nanthegirl @jakeedu and my brother @call-me-alec thankyou for being in my life (some of you shall be immortalized in the code written in the computer of my uni lab LOL)

Another thing I learned from this experience is that I've grown up a lot to trust myself and my instincts. And doing that has given me a lot of peace. When people point fingers at you, you gotta ask your conscience — is this right? Am I doing something wrong? What are the events that led up to this negativity? And when I reflect on myself, I get answers I've trained myself to detach from my own brain during these conflicts, I look at myself in a third person point of view. And it has helped me make many decisions — right decisions over the past few years. I'm very proud of myself for this :))

Now I should lock in and study lol coz there's so much shit to do help—

No uni work got done however this was my induction shift at my first ever job working as a kitchen assistant, naturally i am the cook of the house so most of it came naturally to me. I really enjoyed myself had a nice time getting to know my colleagues even if they were much older than me lol. But considering I'm suppose to be bank staff i have already been given so many shifts because someone has recently handed in their notice, but however again due to the nature of the job every other weekend i will be doing 2 11 and a half hour shifts which is gonna kill me but as always MONEY hahahaha

When i got home i did a little work and reading but not a lot got done to being out for so long in the morning.
