Abstract | Phenomenology is a qualitative research tradition rooted in philosophy that emphasizes the exploration of human experiences as they are lived and perceived by individuals. This study seeks to unpack the foundational concepts, historical evolution, and methodological significance of phenomenology in social science and educational research. Beginning with the pioneering work of Edmund Husserl and extending through the contributions of Martin Heidegger and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, the discussion highlights how phenomenology shifted the focus from objective knowledge to subjective meaning-making. Core concepts such as intentionality, lived experience, bracketing (epoché), and essence are examined in depth to illuminate the phenomenological approach. The distinction between descriptive and interpretive phenomenology is also clarified, showcasing their respective orientations toward describing or interpreting the meanings embedded in experience. Furthermore, the study explores the epistemological and ontological assumptions underpinning phenomenological inquiry and its practical application in empirical research through interviews and thematic analysis. By integrating theoretical understanding with methodological application, the paper illustrates how phenomenology offers rich, nuanced insights into personal and social realities, particularly in fields like education, psychology, and health sciences. Ultimately, phenomenology is presented as a powerful lens for uncovering the meanings individuals attach to their lived world, enabling researchers to generate authentic, context-sensitive knowledge. |
