Blogpost #8 - June Blogging - Causal Chain

 What is a Causal Chain?

Any intervention you design will (consciously or not) be based on a causal chain you have in mind - this is your theory of action.


What is a “causal chain”?  67-69


A causal chain is when a cause leads to an effect and that effect becomes the cause of another effect

A leads to B. B leads to C. C leads to D.

After a good talanoa with a fellow CoL teacher at school, I created my causal chain. This process helped me validate my thinking behind my inquiry. It helped me because for a while now, I felt stuck and was clueless about what my next steps were. I admit, this is the first year I have identified a causal chain in reference to my inquiry. Once I had completed this step, I had more clarity and my inquiry began to make more sense.
