Abstract
This couplet, along with other bits of idiosyncratic terminology, enabled me to placemark my journey through the maze of learning to be a researcher: from being an angry middle-aged infant teacher (demanding to know on what research data were based the English Design and Technology National Curriculum’s (1990) claims of what six year olds will do) to being a university lecturer with a Ph.D. behind her (2003), wanting to move into reflective “scholarly” work, developing “conclusions” rather than reporting “findings”.
