Σύνοψη	Micro-phenomenology is a qualitative research method for exploring subjective experience through detailed, guided introspection. Developed by Claire Petitmengin, this method uses specialized interview techniques to help participants articulate pre-reflective, embodied experience—the lived moment-to-moment texture of interacting with a system. Unlike standard interviews (which ask abstract questions) or think-aloud protocols (which are concurrent and potentially disruptive), micro-phenomenology guides participants to re-live and describe specific moments of experience in granular detail, revealing tacit knowledge and non-conscious processes.	Contextual Inquiry is a field research method for understanding users by observing and interviewing them in their real work environment. Developed by Hugh Beyer and Karen Holtzblatt at Applied Research and Technology, this method combines ethnographic observation with targeted questioning to capture not just what users say they do, but what they actually do—including workarounds, informal practices, and priorities often invisible in lab settings. Contextual Inquiry uncovers the context, constraints, and real-world complexity of user tasks, providing rich insights for user-centered design.
