Ringkasan	Interpretive life history research is a qualitative design in which the researcher and participant collaboratively construct a detailed account of the participant's entire life course — or a significant portion of it — and then interpret that account to understand how identity, context, and meaning-making unfold over time. Grounded in an interpretive epistemology, it treats the narrator's life story not as a neutral record of facts but as a meaning-laden construction shaped by culture, social position, and lived experience.	Narrative inquiry is a qualitative research methodology that treats stories and life narratives as primary data, analyzing how individuals construct meaning and identity through storytelling. Developed by D. Jean Clandinin and F. Michael Connelly (2000), narrative inquiry examines the narratives people tell about their lives, experiences, and transitions, understanding that people make sense of experience through narrative.
