Narrative Inquiry in Educational Research

Session Submission Type: Professional Development Course

Abstract

This extended workshop offers a practical theory-based approach to narrative inquiry addressing questions of teaching, learning and development. The format is a sequence of presentation/hands-on modules, with the morning devoted to narrative research design and the afternoon to narrative analysis. Participants are beginning or advanced researchers interested in learning about and applying narrative methods in their research. The goals of the course are to define and enact a socio-historical approach to narrative inquiry with several consistent research design strategies and data analysis tools. A feature of this workshop is the systematic approach to practice-based research using narratives to mediate interaction and learning across diverse educational contexts. These goals are addressed with examples from prior research and participants’ research projects.
