Performance and Education Inquiry

I have thought long and hard about inquiry ideas, and I came to the conclusion that my passion lies within the area of injury and education right now, as I am recovering from injury currently.

I found myself looking through articles on the internet, and reading blog entries of peers who are also going through the recovery period at the moment. I found that the same issues kept cropping up - 'what am I going to do next?' 'Why, after so many years training don't I know what options are open to me?' and many felt resentment at the general college attitude towards injuries - 'it's your own fault, and you need to get back dancing/singing as quickly as possible'. Having experienced this myself, I wanted to look into why this has become the general attitude towards injuries.

This is the link to my Delicious page - http://www.delicious.com/eleanor.mattley/?page=1 - there are some very interesting links on there including vocal and physical injury articles, and also qualification specifications for National Diplomas and GCSE/A-Level performing arts subjects, which I have used to see where this lapse in education is happening. It has been very insightful so far, and I cannot wait to get started on my professional inquiry during the next module.

I have 3 surveys which I need just a handful more participants for to get a proper statistical sample, so if you could spare 5 minutes to take them, that would be great. The links are :
