three
factors that a researcher needs to consider in order to choose which approach to follow
- the researcher's scientific-philosophical and research-methodological points of departure
- the aim of the research project
- the nature of the research phenomenon (area of research/investigation) and research object (specific
study object)
The research design process in qualitative research therefore begins when
the researcher makes a conscious decision to follow a qualitative approach, which influences the
methodology and scientific techniques that are applied in the study.
Scientific technique is
an aid or one of the tools of scientific methods and may include, for instance, interviews or observations
The term ``method'' literally means
"the path along which'' and therefore indicates the way in which the study is conducted
A narrative is
a verbal account of a sequence of events in the order in which they happened.
>>> a description of people's experiences in their everyday interactions with one another and with their
social environment.
>>> storytelling
people make use of storytelling to find
practical solutions to life's challenges and to create an under-standing of their experience
People use narrative descriptions about their experiences and interactions with their life-world to
make sense of the behaviour of others (Moen 2006).
Narratives allow a researcher to
study how individuals, or a group of people, understand their interaction in a specific context within
their social, cultural and institutional environment
A narrative can be defined as
the process of telling a story or giving an account of an
event or experience.
In narrative research, the researcher focuses on
, participants' "life stories''.
>>> the researcher is not interested in what happened, but is concerned with the meaning participants
attach to the stories.
Qualitative researchers study personal and group narratives within the context of their natural settings,
thereby attempting to
make sense of and interpret phenomena in terms of the
meaning people bring to them
There are three basic assumptions that underpin narrative research, namely:
- that human beings organise their experiences of the world into narratives and that narratives are the
primary method by which human existence is rendered meaningful
- that the stories that are told depend on the individuals' past and present experiences, their values, the
people the stories are being told to (the addressees) and when and where they are being told.
- that researchers acknowledge the multi-voiced-ness that is present in narratives.
Clandin and Connely (in Creswell 2007:55±57) identify five aspects that should be included in the
collection and analysis of data when doing narrative research:
1. the researcher identifies a research problem or question.
2. researchers identify and select one or more participants who have stories or life experiences
pertaining to the research question or problem.
3. researchers collect information about the context of the stories.
4. the researcher needs to analyse the participants' stories in order to break them down into an
analysable format.
5. the researcher collaborates with the participants throughout the data collection and analysis phase of
the research process.
Structural analysis focuses on
the way a story is told; therefore the language that participants use to tell the story is important. In
interactional analysis, the dialogue between teller and
listener is important and the researcher will therefore focus on this interactional process between
storyteller and listener.
performative analysis
researchers analyse the non-verbal actions that storytellers use during narratives.
Narrative analysis allows the readers to
understand a phenomenon through the stories of people's own perspectives on the occurrence.
contextualisation of stories informs the readers of
the broader social settings and processes that had a direct and/or indirect impact on the narrative.
The primary value of narrative research is that
