EDCI 886 Narrative Inquiry
Narrative inquiry has become a popular research methodology increasingly employed across disciplines and interests over the last decade. Currently, narrative inquiry is not only used as a research methodology but also as a pedagogical tool in teaching and learning and in the field of education. The burgeoning interests in narrative inquiry among educational researchers and teachers come from the realization of the power of narratives in impacting the educational field. In this course, we will explore stories or narratives in order to understand and interrogate educational phenomena. We will also examine theoretical underpinnings of narrative inquiry, issues related to, and methods of, narrative and storytelling forms of research in education.
