What is educational narrative?
Educational narration is to tell stories about education. It is a process in which the education subject tells the real situation in education and teaching, and its essence is a research method to realize the true meaning of education by telling educational stories.

Educational narrative research refers to the analysis and research of any narrative material contained in the educational background. It emphasizes paying attention to personal experience stories and their hidden significance to individuals, emphasizing micro-analysis, emphasizing teachers' reflective value, emphasizing the importance of teachers' knowledge, and giving teachers the right to tell experiences.

The differences between educational narrative research and other qualitative research methods are as follows:

(1) Because people pay attention to their personal experiences as individuals and sometimes their social experiences, educational narrative research pays more attention to micro-analysis, which is essentially different from ethnographic research that pays attention to medium and macro-analysis.

(2) Because the research goal is to understand and recognize people as individuals, the research goal of educational narrative research is not to form a theory that can be applied to others.

At this point, it runs counter to grounded theory research. The purpose of grounded theory research is clear, which is to form a set of theories that can be transplanted and extended to others.

The reason why educational narrative research emphasizes personal experience stories and their hidden significance to individuals may be related to the experience of Claudine, one of its advocates. She studied for a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's degree in consulting education in university of alberta, and worked as a teacher, school counselor and consultant.
