Phenomenology and Educational Research – Theory and Practice
Book Description:
Author: KAREN JOY KOOPMAN AND OSCAR KOOPMAN
This scholarly text introduces educational researchers to the principles of the philosophical approach of phenomenology. the book highlights the extensive influence and ideas of the key foundational thinkers in phenomenology, Husserl, Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty, as well as introducing the work of various other phenomenologists to show how this approach can be applied to research in the field of education. the book is also a dynamic introduction to the way education researchers can conduct fieldwork, transcribe interviews, explicate data and address ethical issues in education, while remaining true to the phenomenological circle. Each of these aspects is presented in a way that addresses the numerous questions that many educational researchers who are new to the field of phenomenology might grapple with.
