Hermeneutic Phenomenology in Education Research

Hermeneutic phenomenology in education research is a qualitative approach — developed principally by Max van Manen — that investigates the lived, meaning-laden dimensions of educational experience. Drawing on Heidegger's interpretive philosophy and Gadamer's hermeneutics, it asks what it is like, from the inside, to be a teacher, a learner, or a student navigating a formative moment, and renders that understanding through carefully crafted, evocative writing rather than through codes or statistics.
