Résumé	Field-based Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (Field IPA) extends standard IPA by embedding data collection within naturalistic field settings. Rather than relying solely on retrospective interviews conducted away from the site of experience, the researcher enters the actual environment — a classroom, clinic, workplace, or community space — to gather field observations, artefacts, and in-context conversations alongside in-depth interviews. This produces a richer, more situated account of how participants make sense of their lived experience in the moment and place in which it unfolds.	Field-based ethnography is a qualitative research design in which the researcher immerses themselves in a social setting or community over an extended period, observing and participating in everyday life to understand cultural practices, meanings, and social dynamics from an insider perspective. It is the classical form of ethnography, grounded in sustained physical presence at a research site, and distinguished from archival, virtual, or document-only approaches by its central reliance on direct, embodied fieldwork.
