Narrative Research
Design
Definition
The term narrative comes from the verb "to narrate" or "to tell (as a
story) in detail". In narrative research designs, researchers describe
the lives of individuals, collect and tell stories about people's lives,
and write nar­ratives of individual experiences. 
Another definition
A literary form of qualitative research, narrative research is  all about
collecting and telling a story or stories (in detail). Researchers
write narratives about experiences of individuals, describe a life
experience, and discuss the meaning of the experience with the
individual.  Usually, a narrative research design is focused on studying
an individual person. The researcher becomes the interpreter of the
individual's stories, as opposed to a community

How Did Narrative Design Develop?
It is still developing.  Writers from numerous fields of social science
studies claim it, including education.  Several trends have influenced its
development within the field of education.  In 1990, educators D. Jean
Clandini and Michael Connelly provided the first overview for the field
of education. 
Three  factors that influenced development were suggested by
Cortazzi (1993): 
1) an increased emphasis on teacher reflection; 
2) more emphasis placed on teachers’  knowledge; and
3) educators seeking to bring teachers’ voices to the forefront
by empowering teachers to talk about their experiences (Creswell,
2012, p. 503)
Why Use Narrative Research?
Storyteller and entrepreneur Michael Margolis shares what it means to think
in narrative. He notes recent brain research that has identified a gene unique
to humans that allows us to tell stories from person to person and generation
to generation. Arts, business, and education are all rooted in storytelling.
Margolis notes anthropology research that over 70% of what we learn is via
story. Narrative thinking provides the storytelling vocabulary which allows
us to make sense and meaning of the world around us.

Key Characteristics of
Narrative Design
This brief overview of the process highlights specific
characteristics of research often found in narrative
reports. Seven major characteristics are central to
narrative research: 
• Individual experiences 
• Chronology of the experiences 
• Collecting individual stories 
• Restorying 
• Coding for themes 
• Context or setting 
• Collaborating with participants
INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCES &
CHRONOLOGY OF THE EXPERIENCES
In narrative research, the
inquirer often studies a single
individual. Narrative
researchers focus on the
experiences of one or more
individuals. Although less
frequent, researchers may
study more than one individual
(Mccarthey, 1994). 
Chronology in nar­rative designs
means that the researcher analyzes
and writes about an individual life
using a time sequence or chronology
of events. Cortazzi (1993) suggested
that the chronology of narrative
research emphasizes a sequence,
which sets narrative apart from other
genres of research.

CONCLUSION
   So in this point about conclusion, what we got from Narrative Research Design is
research that need sample to know about what we will do in this research. It means that
Narrative Research Design using Qualitative Research descriptive research and tend to
use analysis. Process and meaning are highlighted in qualitative research. Articles from
our lecture is about Alternative approach to study language teaching and learning, in that
article tells about develops of teacher stories about their work and their dialogues with
one another, with pupils, with teaching materials, and with themselves. That make us
understand that Narrative Research Design is more focused on stories of interviewees or
our samples when we want to do this research. And then you can see in the steps of
conducting narrative research that we need identify a phenomenon, and then select an
individual whom you can learn about phenomenon and the last collect story from that
individual and we can report that story in our research.
