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.	Longitudinal narrative research is a qualitative design that follows participants across multiple time points, gathering and analyzing their stories to understand how experiences, identities, and meanings evolve over time. Rooted in Clandinin and Connelly's narrative inquiry tradition, it treats human experience as fundamentally storied and temporal — what matters is not just what happened but how people narrate, revise, and make sense of their lives as circumstances change.
