How Do I Design a Self-Study of Practice?
摘要
Design in self-study is presented as iterative, reflexive, and creative. This chapter guides readers through the process of moving from a problem of practice to aligned research questions, data sources, and analytic strategies. Emphasis is placed on flexibility—allowing design to evolve as understanding deepens—and on documenting methodological decisions to ensure transparency. Examples of individual, collaborative, and co/autoethnographic studies illustrate how design choices shape inquiry trajectories and findings. Readers come to see design not as a rigid formula but as a framework for purposeful and trustworthy investigation rooted in their professional values.
