09 Nov Practice Activity – Narrative Inquiry
Instructions
The purpose of narrative inquiry is to examine the meaning of participants experiences as expressed through their story (Mills & Birks, 2014, p. 175). Meaning is gained through the telling and constructing of the story (Polkinghorne, 1988). This week you will use the narrative data of a classmates story of coming to Saybrook University to continue his/her education that you collected in Week 5. (File attached)
This assignment has two parts.
- Practice retelling the story.
- Describe your interpretation of the meaning of the experience.
