Thanks for the comment jacqui :) I do agree with you, after the end of your MA dissertation or thesis you tend to be burned out. I remember feeling similarly when I was done with my programs. The thing to keep in mind is that as professional we all need a break, but at the end of that break, once we feel sufficiently refreshed we need to get back into the groove and apply to our practice the research that others do (and if we do research, the research we do) :-)Apostolos K.

I have responded on my blog here: http://howardjohnson.edublogs.org/2012/02/21/the-idea-of-transformative-research-the-importance-of-sense-making-and-conversation/<br />And @ Jacqui, I believe there is more hope than you are feeling right now, maybe even in spite of that dissertation.Apostolos K.

I am jsut not a writer or researcher I guess. <br /><br />As long as there are gates there will be gatekeepers.<br /><br />Remembering that "the average Ph.D thesis is nothing but the transference of bones form one graveyard to another" ..Frank J Dobie <br />cheers<br />JacquiApostolos K.
