Introduction to Phenomenology and its Application in Qualitative Research at FutureLearn Course details
- On this four-week course, you will get to know the main themes of philosophical phenomenology and how it can be put to use in qualitative research.
- Through real-life examples, you will find out how qualitative researchers have benefitted from using this philosophical tradition.
- You will also discover how phenomenology and qualitative methods work together and how you can integrate phenomenology at different stages of a qualitative research project.
- Using phenomenology in the study of human lived experience enables researchers to access insights that other approaches cannot achieve. Often, it can be the only possible way to study certain topics in social sciences.
- Nevertheless, guidance for researchers in the humanities and social sciences is scarce. This course will help fill this gap by showing you how phenomenology can be put to use in academic fields focusing on, for example, education, sport, psychology, and health.
- You will critically examine examples of how phenomenology has been applied and gain practical skills in how this can be done.
- Throughout the course, you will engage in debates with other learners to help you evaluate the challenges of integrating phenomenology and qualitative research methodologies. You will also have the opportunity to start thinking about your own research project and interests.
