Abstract

In this paper, we explore narrative interviewing as a powerful method for inviting novice researchers to experience the process of doing qualitative inquiry. Our theoretical lens stems from Schon, who encouraged adult learners to reflect-in-action, and Dewey’s notions of experience in education. In this vein, we encourage qualitative inquirers to reflect-in-action about their narrative experiences with learning, discovering, and expanding their orientations and engagements with qualitative methodologies. Embracing narrative as a way of knowing, we share an instructional example of narrative interviewing with a doctoral student, Lynn. By illuminating Lynn’s experience, with invite others to consider their own practices with teaching, learning, and doing qualitative inquiry.
