Narrative

Reflection
Insightful, analytical, and self-reflexive. Provided substantial detail regarding the researcher’s bias, interpretation/understanding, and researcher’s emerging concepts of the group and topic.
7.0 pts
Self-reflexive and thoughtful. The researcher worked to include information that might have assisted in his or her understanding of the events, people, place, or topic.
6.0 pts
The researcher listed information about him- or her-self that connected to the topic. It took a little effort to deduce how those things may have swayed the researcher’s understanding. This information might come more NATURALLY the next time the researcher observes/participates and uses mindful practices to become aware of his or her position.
