phenomenology
Generally, in the qualitative context, phenomenology is
a method that "aims to get 'to the things themselves'
through creating written descriptions of personal
experience as the source of all claims to knowledge"
(Conklin, 2007, p. 276). A mode of inquiry that
illuminates the complexity of human experience,
phenomenology relies on the “interpretive
sensitivity, inventive thoughtfulness, scholarly tact,
and writing talent of the human science researcher”
(van Manen, 1990, p. 34).
