Muhtasari	Digital Narrative Research is a qualitative methodology in which participants create or share short digital stories — typically combining personal voice-over, photographs, video, and text — that become the primary data for inquiry. Originating in community digital-storytelling practice developed at the Center for Digital Storytelling in Berkeley in the 1990s, the approach has been adopted widely in education, health, social work, and participatory action research to surface voices and experiences that are difficult to capture through interviews or surveys alone.	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.
