Here are the answers to your questions:
1. Phenomenology is a philosophy and research method that focuses on people's subjective experiences and interpretations of the world. It aims to explore how people construct meaning from their lived experiences.
2. Two main types of phenomenology are transcendental phenomenology and hermeneutic (interpretive) phenomenology. Transcendental phenomenology focuses on people's conscious experiences of things, while hermeneutic phenomenology emphasizes the interpretation of texts and meanings.
3. The research tool that is mainly used in phenomenology is in-depth interviews. Phenomenological studies typically involve conducting multiple interviews with participants who have experienced the phenomenon being studied.

2. • Is the study of structure of consciousness as experienced from the first – person point of view.
• It describe as ‘ lives experience’ mostly base on the person lived experience
• The central structure of an experience is its intentionally, its being directed toward something or as an
experience of or some object.
• It was another discipline but it also related to another key of disciplines in philosophy such as:
• Ontology
• Epistemology
• Logic
• Ethics
• Its commonly understood in two ways:
• Disciplinary field in philosophy
• Movement in the history of philosophy
• In the recent philosophy of mind, the term “phenomenology” is often restricted to the characterization of
sensory qualities of seeing, hearing .
• Another definition is
Patton (1990):
"…a phenomenological study…is one that focused on descriptions of what people experience and
how it is that they experience what they experience. One can employ a general phenomenological
perspective to elucidate the importance of using methods that capture people's experience of the world
without conducting a phenomenological study that focuses on the essence of shared experience." (p.71)

3. • Phenomenology studies the structure of various types of experience from the perception,
thought, including linguistic activity.
• Basically, it studies many types of experience from:
• Thought
• Memory
• Imagination
• Emotion
• Desire
• Volition to bodily awareness
• Another definition is from Finlay (2009):
• It start with concrete description of lived situation, often first-person accounts, set
down in everyday language and avoiding abstract intellectual generalizations…..

• Key word:
• Essence,
• Consciousness
• Human experience
• Lived experience
4. First used by Johann Heinrich Lambert
Later used by Immanuel Kant and Johann Gottlieb Fichte
Made popular in 1807 in G. W. F. Hegel’s book titled
Phänomenologie des Geistes (usually translated as
Phenomenology of Spirit)
Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) later refined the meaning into
more of what we use today.
- Phenomena can be studied only subjectively, not
objectively—thus phenomenology is a close cousin of
existentialism
5. It being discover by Edmund Husserl (1900) and Husserl
began develop a “philosophy as rigorous science” called
Phenomenology ( see Husserl (1900 /1970)
Husserl believe
if science were to fulfill a mission of providing rational
knowledge that would enable humanity to freely shape its own
destiny, then science must go beyond an exclusive focus on the
physical world and take human experience into consideration with
equal rigor.
Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) later refined the meaning into
more of what we use today.
- Phenomena can be studied only subjectively, not objectively—thus
phenomenology is a close cousin of existentialism
6. Determine if the research is best
examined using a
phenomenological research or not.
Individuals’ common or shared experience
of a phenomenon.
Develop practice or policies.
Develop a deeper understanding about
the features of the phenomenon.
7. Data collected from the individuals
who have experienced the
phenomenon.
Mainly used:
In-depth interview and multiple interview.
Other research tools:
Observation, oral or written reports,
journals, music, poetry, etc.
8. To fully describe how participants view phenomenon, the
researchers must break out, as much as possible their
own experience.
The participants were asked two broad, general
question.
1. What have you experienced in terms of phenomenon?
2. What context or situations have typically influenced or
affected your experiences of the phenomenon?
9. Open-ended question may also be asked.
Focus attention on gathering data that will lead to
TEXTURAL DESCRIPTION or STRUCTURAL
DESCRIPTION, and provide an understanding of the
common experience of the participants.
10. Building up on
the data.
- From first and
second research
question.
Data analysis.
- Go through the
data that adapted
(from interview etc.)
Highlight the ‘significant
statement or quotes’ that
obtained from the data.
Moustakas (1994) – horizonalisation.
Lying out all the data and analysing it
equally.
Develop ‘clusters of meaning’ from
these significant statement into themes.Moustakas (1994) add:
Researchers also write about their own
experience and situation that have influenced
their experience.
From the structural and textural
descriptions, the researcher then writes
a composite description that presence
the ‘essence’ of the phenomenon.
TEXTURAL DESCRIPTION
Description of what the participants
experienced phenomenon.
STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION
Description of the context or setting
that influenced how the participants
experienced phenomenon
12. Realistic Phenomenology
Studies about the universal enssences of various sort of matters and
structure of consciousness and not somehow brought into being by
consciousness.
Existential Phenomenology
Studies concrete human existence, including our experience of free choice
or action in concrete situations.
Hermeneutical Phenomenology
Studies about interpretative structure of experiences. The issues adressed in
hermeneutical phenomenology include simply all of those that were
added to the agenda in the previous tendencies and stages.
Transcendental Phenomenology
Studies how objects are constituted in pure of transcendantal
consciousness, setting aside questions of any relation to the natural
world around us.
13. Transcendental Phenomenology
Studies how objects are constituted in pure of transcendantal consciousness,
setting aside questions of any relation to the natural world around us.
Naturalistic Phenomenology
Studies how conciousness constitutes or takes things in the world of nature,
assuming with the natural attitude that consciouness is part of nature.
Genetic Phenomenology
Studies the genesis of meanings of things within ones,s own stream of
experience.
Generative historical phenomenology
Studies how meaning, as found in our experience, is generated in historical
process of collective experience over time.
14. • Holistic, Qualitative, Idiographic
• complete description of human existence
• taking the individual’s own perspective
• Phenomenological Method
• focus on individual experience of the world
• focus on interpretation of events, not the events themselves
15. Research purpose :
- To describe one or more individual’s experiences of a
phenomenon
2. Disciplinary Origin : Philosophy
3. Primary Data Collection Method :
- In depth interviews with up to 10 – 15 people
16. 4. Data Analysis Approach :
- List significant statements, determine meaning of statement &
identify the essence of the phenomenon
5. Narrative report focus :
- Rich description of the essential or invariant structures
17. • Bracketing personel experiences may be difficult for
the researcher to implement.
(the researcher to become a separated from the text)
• The participants in the study need to be carefully
chosen to be individuals who have all experienced the
phenomenon in question
