Abstract
This study explored the strengths and weaknesses of using narrative frames when conducting qualitative research. The focus was on eliciting information regarding participants' (N = 11) beliefs as they entered a postgraduate program at a major university in Japan. The theoretical underpinnings of narrative frames are discussed, the specific narrative frame employed is introduced, lessons learned regarding the analytic approach are shared, and perceived strengths and weaknesses of using narrative frames are offered. As this was a pilot study, the focus was on the narrative frame itself. While the use of this narrative frame was useful for gathering data, it was found to be limiting in scope, and needs supplementation with other qualitative and quantitative data sources to reach its full potential as an investigative resource.
