Phenomenological Research Strategy

Authors

Abstract

 
Phenomenology can be considered as a research strategy. The aim of this text is to explain phenomenology in the form of a research strategy as a research tool. Just as any other research strategy, phenomenology guides the research process through all the phases. The basic three steps according to Husserl: 1. epoche (suspension) 2. idision (reductionism) and 3. empathy.
Based on the Moustakas' attempt to expand it to sever consecutive and operational steps, the researcher will be able to employ this research tool in his investigation. Since, there is not a certain application of this research strategy in the country, the possibility and desirability of it as a model will be discussed. This may open up new grounds for further research in phenomenology.
