| Research Abstract |
In this research, we try to construct a framework for the research, examining concepts of "discourse" and "narrative" which are understood as important methodological concepts in the humanities and social sciences. As a result, we take teachers' narrative discourse (linguistic expressions in a context) of teaching and learning, namely teachers' narratives of teaching practices, as an object of study. Interpreting the object, we can inquire into "Discourse" (socio-cultural frame of meaning making), which determines teachers' narratives, and teachers' practical knowledge. We can use the methods of interactive interviews with teachers-participants for collecting the data, and of case description through interpreting the date collaboratively. In case studies based on this framework, we show how Discourse determines teachers' narrative and what kind of narrative structure teachers' practical knowledge has.
In conclusion, we can point out three dimensions of research results : i) teachers' narrative discourse has significant date in the research of teaching and learning, ii) interpreting the date, it is possible to understand some aspects of "Discourse" which determines teachers' narratives and teachers' practical knowledge, iii) the cases which are described through interpreting the date have the practical meanings for teachers by way of exemplars.
