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.	Thematic Analysis (TA) is a qualitative research methodology for identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) in qualitative data. Developed systematically by Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke (2006), TA is flexible and accessible, applicable across diverse theoretical frameworks and data types, making it one of the most widely used qualitative methods in psychology, health research, and social sciences.
