    Phenomenology - Method

    Uploaded by

    Cleverson Tabajara
    Phenomenology is a philosophy and research method focused on understanding subjective experiences and perceptions of phenomena. It was developed in the 20th century by Edmund Husserl and later Martin Heidegger. A phenomenological study aims to understand people's perspectives and interpretations of a situation through open-ended interviews and analyzing multiple accounts to identify common experiences. Key aspects of phenomenology include bracketing preconceptions, small sample sizes, descriptive analysis of lived experiences related to concepts like spatiality, corporeality, temporality and relationality.
