Phenemenology

Mainly all Qualitative research is focus on phenomenology because phenomenology focus upon live experiences of participants and phenomena of experience that very individual to individual. Phenomenology philosophical and as well a methodological approach, As a philosophy, it is one of the main rational traditions which have subjective qualitative research. As a methodological approach, it has been embraced by researchers from a variety of disciplines and social science areas who sketch on its philosophical strands. It is a difficult and complex way of carrying out research, and we would not suggest it to beginner researchers. (Daymon & Holloway, 2011)

Phenomenology, is the study of conscious experience, it can be rooted back into early 20th-century philosophers such as Husserl, Sartre, and Merleau-Ponty. Many of the ideas personified in the work of this early phenomenologist’s were adopt by notable scholars such as psychologist Amedeo Giorgi (1970) and social scientist Alfred Schütz, (1967). In modern social sci¬ence, the term is used more generally to indicate the study of individuals’ perceptions, feelings, and lived experiences. Smith, Flowers, and Larkin (2009 define phenomenology as

A philosophical approach to the study of experience, shares a exacting interest in thinking about what the experience of being human is like, in all of its a variety of aspects, but especially in terms of the things that matter to us, and which comprise our lived world. (Moustakas, 1994).

Phenomenology helps researcher to understand the life experiences ‘the life world’ of other people. It does more than allow researcher to see things from the viewpoint of participants; it offers a way of understanding the sense-making framework which individuals can make something meaningful, like new occasion, experience and tangible object. Meaning or a sense-making framework often develops through communication with others. It shapes how individuals respond to events and experiences. Whereas other qualitative research approaches also attempt to see things through the eyes of the people they study, phenomenology goes further because it gives a means for researcher to make researcherr own fixed ideas about an occasion or an experience in order to understand it from the world in which research participant exist, in this way, researcher can light up human thinking and behavior from the inside. (Daymon & Holloway, 2011)

Phenomenology is a commonly working approach in clinical psychology, and in this background it is linked with a unique set of methods and events. Many of the ideas within the phenomenological field are fixed within qualitative inquiry in general; much qualitative research is phenomenological in nature attempts to understand individuals’ lived experiences and the behav¬ioral, sensitive, and social meanings.
