Online resources: This case study provides an account of one practical element of the methodology of a 3-year PhD project. Specifically, this case illuminates the processes involved in using autobiography/biographical interview techniques to elicit teachers' narratives of their emotional lived experiences of lesson observations. It also provides examples of how these processes evolved. It considers the importance of the potential interconnectedness between methodologies and the subject of the research. It pays particular attention to the ways that narrative data might be analysed, interpreted and presented. The rationale and co/construction of creative non-fiction is explained, together with the potential value this approach may offer other researchers in this area.
