In this paper, we explore, name, and unpack the possibilities that printmaking, as an art form, holds in visual narrative inquiry. We also explore the relationship between visual narrative inquiry and narrative inquiry, a relational qualitative research methodology that attends to experiences. Drawing on two different ongoing narrative inquiry studies, where we engage with either trans young adults or refugee families from Syria with pre-school children, we explore how printmaking practices facilitate processes of inquiry. The etymology of the word “frame” helps us understand framing as a process that is future oriented and reflects a sense of doing, making, or preforming. In this way, framing allows us to see otherwise, to respond to and with participants, and to engage with experiences in ways that open new possibilities of inquiry.

In this article, we open up Yarning as a fundamentally relational methodology. We discuss key relationships involved in Indigenous research, including with participants, Country, Ancestors, data, history, and Knowledge. We argue that the principles and protocols associated with the deepest layers of yarning in an Indigenous Australian context create a protected space which supports the researcher to develop and maintain accountability in each of these research relationships. Protection and relational accountability in turn contribute to research which is trustworthy and has integrity. Woven throughout the article are excerpts of a yarn in which the first author reflects on his personal experience of this research methodology. We hope this device serves to demonstrate the way yarning as a relational process of communication helps to bring out deeper reflection and analysis and invoke accountability in all of our research relationships.

Children short stories are one way among other literature studies to educate children about moral values and social life around them. In order to be able to socialize with other people, one of the important moral values that an individual must have is ethics. Most of children short stories, both classical and contemporary, are trying to present ethics as the main theme. This paper explores the way ethics is being conveyed in classical and contemporary children short stories. This paper uses Narrative Inquiry of Qualitative Method. This method is used to explore the background of the stories and authors with diverse culture as it is shown through the stories. There are 6 children short stories being analyzed. Three stories are classical, and the other three are contemporary. This paper also shows the results of comparison of ethic in classical and contemporary children short stories.

The chapter presents a rationale for using visual ethnography as part of the methodology in qualitative research and illustrates what visual ethnography methodology is capable of accomplishing when imagery is included in the investigative process. Visual ethnography offers a venue for collecting and analyzing data that would otherwise be inaccessible and positions imagery as an important, rather than a minimal or occasional, choice for use in qualitative research. Topics include contemporary definitions of visual ethnography and its value in qualitative research, historical applications of visual ethnographic theory that influence the way researchers view visual ethnography today, and contemporary uses of visual ethnography in data collection and analysis. Finally, the conclusion explores the future of visual ethnography.

As a relational epistemology and research methodology, narrative inquiry is one way that people come to know experience through story. Social workers are experienced in working with people’s stories, yet there is a dearth of literature where both social work and narrative inquiry are discussed alongside each other. This paper highlights the particular ways that a researcher commits to living and understanding a narrative view of experience as they engage in research that is relational. It explains some of the language that narrative inquirers use to describe their work, and uses examples from a social work doctoral dissertation to demonstrate the methodological touchstones of a social work narrative inquiry. It concludes with an invitation for social workers to consider narrative inquiry as a process that can guide and advance both clinical practice and social justice work.

Com o passar do tempo e aprofundamento em várias áreas de estudo, há a constante evolução no modo de se realizar pesquisa. Surgindo assim novas metodologias que visam ter perspectivas que não são possíveis utilizando metodologias já conhecidas. É nesse contexto que é situada a Engenharia Didática. Nesse contexto que surge a questão norteadora da investigação realizada: Quais as características das pesquisas apresentadas no Encontro Brasileiro de Estudantes de Pós-Graduação em Educação Matemática (EBRAPEM) que fazem utilização da Engenharia Didática como metodologia? Diante disto, neste trabalho é apresentado os resultados de uma pesquisa que objetivou investigar as características dos trabalhos de pesquisas que utilizaram a Engenharia Didática como metodologia de pesquisa levando em consideração os objetivos das pesquisas que fazem seu uso e classificando-as em Dificuldades de aprendizagem ou Propostas didáticas, este último em com ou sem utilização de instrumento auxiliar. As informações foram produzidas por meio de um levantamento dos trabalhos do EBRAPEM, no período de 2014 a 2016. A análise dos dados indicou um panorama quantitativo sobre a utilização da Engenharia Didática como metodologia e qualitativo sobre com quais finalidades se estuda fazendo o uso dessa metodologia. With the passage of time and deepening in several areas of study, there is the constant evolution in the way to conduct research. Thus emerging new methodologies that aim to present perspectives not yet allowed by previously known methodologies. It is in this context that the Didactic Engineering is located. The principles of this research methodology generate the guiding question of the research carried out: What are the characteristics of the researches presented at the Brazilian Meeting of Postgraduate Students in Mathematics Education (EBRAPEM) that make use of Didactic Engineering as a methodology? In this paper, we present the results of a research that aimed to investigate the characteristics of the research works that used Didactic Engineering as a research methodology taking into account the objectives of the research that make use of it and classifying it as Learning difficulties or Didactic proposals, the latter with or without the use of an auxiliary instrument. The information was produced by means of a survey of the works of EBRAPEM, from 2014 to 2016. The analysis of the data indicated a quantitative panorama on the use of Didactic Engineering as methodology and qualitative about what purposes is studied making use of this methodology.

This paper proposes the need for further qualitative research to gain valuable insight into individuals’ experiences of health and illness and the suitability of narrative inquiry as a methodology to investigate these experiences. It is essential to increase qualitative knowledge of individuals’ experiences of illness in order to improve and personalise their care. Narrative inquiry aims to understand knowledge gained from the individual’s narrative of their experiences. Narrative inquiry explores experiences through the dimensions of temporality, sociality and spatiality. The aspect between these dimensions provides an exploratory structure for narratives surrounding health and illness: temporality – when did the illness begin, how will it influence the future; sociality – cultural and personal influences on views of illness; spatiality – surroundings, such as hospitals, and their influence on the health–illness perspective. Narrative inquiry not only provides a deep understanding of the investigated phenomena, it is also provides a rich vibrant narrative presentation of findings for the reader and user of research.
