Training-Workshop on Designing Phenomenological Research

This immersive one-day training workshop introduces educators, researchers, and graduate students to the philosophical foundations and practical design of phenomenological research. Participants will gain a deep understanding of how to explore lived experiences with methodological integrity and human sensitivity. Through a combination of interactive lectures, guided discussions, and hands-on activities, this session equips attendees with the tools to design and initiate their own phenomenological studies.

Objectives:

Understand the philosophical underpinnings of phenomenological research;
Differentiate between descriptive and interpretive (hermeneutic) phenomenology;
Formulate research problems and questions suited to a phenomenological approach;
Identify appropriate participants and sampling strategies for phenomenological studies;
Design a phenomenological data collection process centered on in-depth interviews;
Apply techniques for bracketing (epoche) and researcher reflexivity; and
Draft a working outline or concept paper for a phenomenological study.
