Value of Reflective Narrative Expression in Chosen Qualitative Research Techniques Oriented Towards Improving the Pedagogical Practice of Elementary Education Teachers

Summary/Abstract: The article is aimed at showing the role and meaning of reflective narrative expression in building up selected qualitative research tech-niques in the work of a teacher, especially an elementary education teacher. The research techniques constructed by the author, such as the journal of reflections, a reflective journal, a reflective essay, a re-flective-discursive essay, are placed within the subjective-participatory paradigm. Their creation was inspired by the richness of literary tech-niques used by, e.g., Laurence Stern or Virginia Woolf. The reflections conducted within those techniques include intrapersonal and inter-personal dimensions. They refer to cultural artifacts and, on the one hand, they are to improve the axiological consciousness of the subjects taking part in the research, and, on the other hand, they can be re-garded as a precious source of information that needs to be analysed and interpreted in the research paradigm, which may facilitate under-standing of one’s own cultural and spiritual interior. It is especially important in personal, professional, and formative development of elementary education teachers, whose reflective-narrative competenc-es seem to be important for shaping the reflective-narrative expression of children who will be the creators, lovers and recipients of culture in future. The method of analysing the collected materials in terms of a possible connection between narration, reflection and culture leads towards emphasizing its value in the light of the narrative research techniques used by the author. This is reflected in the adoption of a particular research procedure that takes into account the issues in question.
