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 phenomenology is a qualitative research design that investigates the meaning people attribute to their lived experiences by combining phenomenological description with hermeneutic interpretation. Rooted in Heidegger's ontology and systematised for social and human sciences by Max van Manen, it moves beyond description to ask what an experience means within a person's broader lifeworld, cultural context, and situated understanding. The researcher's own interpretive horizon is treated as an analytical resource rather than a bias to eliminate.
