The development of science is promoting the exchange of material and human resources by reducing travel time. And this situation is creating various strangers in our educational field. Accordingly, this study sought to explore the possibility of stranger inquiry for educational research. To this end, this study proposed the concept, typology, and analytical framework of the stranger, and through which the concept of stranger developed from modern to modern times, nine types of strangers, analytical framework for stranger inquiry that is composed of proximity and remoteness, interaction, historicity, and objectivity, etc. were discussed. In addition, we discussed how stranger inquiry can be applied to actual research through examining various studies about various strangers in the field of education. However, this stranger inquiry must be handled carefully from an ethical perspective. Through this, we must avoid otherizing strangers.
