Mary F. Rice
Educational Technology Research and Development, v72 n5 p2617-2629 2024
Understanding experiences in online educational settings is crucial to improving teaching and learning. The purpose of this paper is to describe "Narrative Inquiry" as a research methodology that has the potential create the relational opportunities necessary to understand experiences in online learning environments. In this article, I use an example from research conducted in a special educational setting to overview narrative inquiry methodology, explain its theoretical underpinnings, and highlight its potential to enhance current knowledge of how individuals live alongside one another in online educational settings. I will also explain how narrative inquiry can support the development of new insights about time and engagement in online learning. Then I address how narrative inquiry has the potential to advance equitable research practices in these settings. Finally, I offer suggestions for future research projects that leverage the conceptual strengths and methodological tools of narrative inquiry.
