Scientific interest in everyday learning, or learning in situ, has been growing in the last twenty years, and so new research methods have been developed implicitly. This paper presents the importance of biographical and narrative methods in the research of everyday learning. The life story narratives are analysed and the usefulness and heterogeneousness of the narrative method are demonstrated. Special attention is paid to the sensibility, sympathetic listening, and empowerment of the narrator. The narrative method makes it possible to explore experiences and reflexive meaning making. It seems easy to use, but during the research process the researcher has met with many paradoxes, which he deals with in the last part of the paper.Zanimanje za učenje v vsakdanjem življenju ali učenje in situ se je stopnjevalo v zadnjih 20 letih in postaja pomembno področje andragoških raziskav. To implicira uporabo novih raziskovalnih metod. V članku je predstavljen pomen biografskih narativnih pristopov v raziskavah učenja in situ odraslih. Z analizo pripovedi življenjske zgodbe pokažemo uporabnost in heterogenost narativnih pristopov ter pomen poslušanja pri zbiranju gradiva. Poudarjena sta senzibilnost do pripovedovalca in predajanje moči pripovedovalčevemu glasu kot sporočilu (opolnomočenje). Narativna metoda omogoča preiskovanje izkušenj in refleksivno ustvarjanje pomenov in je le navidezno hitra in lahkotna. V sklepnem delu predstavimo nekatere paradokse narativne metode
