I could show students a video about Animal Assisted Education or share a text with them and then ask them:
Research Strategy 1.
What might be good about a dog tutorial?
If we had dog tutorials in the studios would it change the studio space?
Would having a dog tutorial be beneficial to your sense of well-being?
Would you be more likely to attend a dog tutorial than a regular 1-1 tutorial?
Alternatively to create useful before and after data I could ask:
Research Strategy 2.
How might a dog tutorial help you think differently about how to develop your work?
How do you think you might feel after a dog tutorial in comparison to a standard 1-1 tutorial, why?
How do you think a a non -human might help you to relate to and connect to your work?
Would you attend a Dog tutorial, why?
Research Strategy 2 correlates directly to the questions I will ask participants to complete after the dog tutorial.
