A Brief Introduction to Phenomenological Research Methods
A Brief Introduction to Phenomenological Research MethodsThis article is for readers who are eager to understand more about phenomenological research methods. Some people tend to think that phenomenology is just a theory in which the 'things' and the 'events' are equated. The meaning of phenomenology depends on what one means by these terms.The theory of phenomenology is based on the ideas of Timothée Koutarel and Pierre Bourdieu. From a phenomenological point of view, every situation is created by a 'mind' of sorts, a 'mind' that has its own system of causality and structure. Everything that happens in the world is an incident of a 'consciousness' (this word is a key for phenomenology). This is not a religious statement but a mathematical and a logical statement about things and events.When we live in a new world, these things tend to be absent from our consciousness. They usually feel to us as a factor in our life and always seem to develop through a process of preparation. Thus, they are also less real.Since it is a mathematical theory, phenomenology is also concerned with mental phenomena. There are two levels to this concept: there is the level of the mind, the mental structure of the person; and there is the level of the world, the world as an organism or organismic structure.Among the ways in which phenomenology has been used to research methods, one of the most important is to observe certain aspects of these two levels. For example, if one can observe how different people act or react to certain situations, it will be possible to study human behavior as a whole. Similarly, if one can examine how people interact with each other, it will be possible to study interpersonal relationships as a whole. In these ways, phenomenology can be used to explore the idea of the world, of all the events that take place in the world, through the analysis of everyday life.Another important aspect of phenomenology is the exploration of religious ideas. These ideas are ma inly centered on the 'perception'understanding' of God. There are many ways of doing this, including examples from science, but a theological approach to this problem is probably one of the best. Phenomenology is generally associated with the study of consciousness and experience, the subjects of theology.Phenomenology is a dynamic and complex study. Nevertheless, it is a field that has been extremely fruitful, especially in the fields of scientific psychology and sociology. But the most important thing for people interested in the study of the world is that it needs very little time to reach a conclusion. Thus, it is a very useful tool for anyone who wants to do research in the fields of psychology and sociology.
