ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Narrative inquiry

Narrative inquiry is a way of finding out about people's experiences by listening to their stories. It's like when you tell your friends about something exciting that happened to you at the park and they ask you questions to learn more about it.

If we want to learn about someone's life or their thoughts about something, we can ask them to tell us stories about it. Their stories can help us understand what they've gone through, how they feel about it, and what they learned from it.

Narrative inquiry is kind of like a detective work because you have to ask the right questions, be a good listener, and piece together all the information you hear to create a complete picture. By doing this, we can learn a lot about people and their experiences.
