Muhtasari	Interpretive narrative inquiry is a qualitative approach that treats human stories as the primary site of meaning-making and knowledge production. Drawing on Connelly and Clandinin's foundational framework and grounded in hermeneutic philosophy, it uses in-depth narrative interviews, field texts, and relational engagement to understand how individuals construct identity, experience, and sense of the world through the stories they tell and live.	Interpretive biographical research is a qualitative design that collects and hermeneutically analyses the life stories of individuals to illuminate how personal biography intersects with social structure and historical context. Drawing on the interpretive tradition of Wilhelm Dilthey and systematised by Norman Denzin and Brian Roberts, it treats a life account not as a factual record but as a constructed, meaning-laden narrative that reveals how people make sense of their own trajectories.
