The Phenomenological Approach

The phenomenological approach is a way of studying human experiences by focusing on how people perceive and interpret their world. Instead of seeking to explain why things happen, it emphasizes understanding the essence of these experiences from the perspective of individuals. Researchers collect detailed descriptions of experiences, aiming to uncover the meanings and feelings associated with them. This approach values personal insights and emphasizes that realities can vary greatly from one person to another, highlighting the importance of subjective experience in understanding human life.
