PENELITIAN NARATIF DAN ETNOGRAFI: PERBANDINGAN DAN APLIKASI
Abstract
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan dua pendekatan kualitatif yang populer dalam penelitian sosial, yaitu pendekatan naratif dan etnografi, serta mengeksplorasi kelebihan, keterbatasan, dan aplikasi masing-masing metode. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah studi pustaka, di mana peneliti mengkaji literatur terkait dan sumber-sumber relevan untuk memahami karakteristik, teknik pengumpulan data, dan analisis yang diterapkan dalam kedua pendekatan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan naratif lebih fokus pada cerita individu dan pengalaman subjektif, sementara etnografi berfokus pada pengamatan dan pemahaman budaya serta praktik sosial dalam konteks kelompok. Kelebihan pendekatan naratif terletak pada kemampuannya untuk menggali makna mendalam dari pengalaman individu, sedangkan etnografi memberikan pemahaman yang lebih luas tentang konteks sosial dan budaya. Implikasi dari penelitian ini adalah pentingnya peneliti memilih metode yang sesuai berdasarkan tujuan penelitian dan konteks yang diteliti, serta potensi pengembangan kedua pendekatan di masa depan untuk menjawab tantangan kompleks dalam kajian sosial dan budaya.
Kata Kunci: Pendekatan naratif, etnografi, penelitian kualitatif
ABSTRACT
This study aims to compare two qualitative approaches that are popular in social research, namely narrative and ethnographic approaches, and explore the advantages, limitations, and applications of each method. The method used in this study is a literature study, in which the researcher examines the relevant literature and relevant sources to understand the characteristics, data collection techniques, and analysis applied in both approaches. The results show that the narrative approach focuses more on individual stories and subjective experiences, while ethnography focuses on the observation and understanding of culture and social practices in the context of groups. The advantage of a narrative approach lies in its ability to unearth the deep meaning of individual experiences, while ethnography provides a broader understanding of social and cultural contexts. The implications of this study are the importance of researchers choosing appropriate methods based on the research objectives and the context being studied, as well as the potential for the development of both approaches in the future to address complex challenges in social and cultural studies.
