Abstract

The kind of research conducted by communities of practice may be related to preliminary investigations of subjects that may not have been extensively investigated in the past. Alternatively, communities of practice may be formed to expand previous investigations into relatively under-researched areas. In either case the approach to conducting these preliminary investigations may be qualitative in nature. An approach that facilitates qualitative investigations is Narrative Inquiry.
