Muhtasari	A field-based single case study is a qualitative research design that investigates one bounded real-world case — an individual, program, organization, event, or community — in its natural setting through sustained first-hand fieldwork. Drawing on Robert Yin's systematic case study logic and Robert Stake's interpretive tradition, this design combines multiple data sources collected on-site to build a rich, contextualized account of a phenomenon that cannot be separated from its real-world environment.	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.
