Muhtasari	Field-based narrative inquiry is a qualitative research design that investigates human experience by collecting and interpreting stories directly within the natural settings where those experiences unfold. Rooted in Clandinin and Connelly's narrative inquiry framework, it moves the researcher into participants' lived worlds — classrooms, workplaces, communities — to gather rich field texts that preserve the contextual, temporal, and relational dimensions of experience through story.	Field-based ethnography is a qualitative research design in which the researcher immerses themselves in a social setting or community over an extended period, observing and participating in everyday life to understand cultural practices, meanings, and social dynamics from an insider perspective. It is the classical form of ethnography, grounded in sustained physical presence at a research site, and distinguished from archival, virtual, or document-only approaches by its central reliance on direct, embodied fieldwork.
