Discovering the Stories of Introverted Adolescent Females: Innovative Approaches to Qualitative Methodology
Plett, Barrette
AERA Online Paper Repository, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (Washington, DC, Apr 8-12, 2016)
This study was conducted for the researcher's Master's thesis on the lived experience of introverted adolescent female students in rural Nova Scotia, Canada. The aim of the research was to better understand these students' lived experiences in public school. Due to their introverted natures, these students' stories are not typically reported. The researcher, a school counsellor, was interested in understanding these students' experiences, and helping schools foster optimal learning environments for students like them. The researcher undertook a qualitative, narrative inquiry approach, and used photo-elicitation with social media (Pinterest), as well as applying counselling skills and the researcher's own introversion as research methodology. Methods and methodology are examined and future directions are proposed.
