सारांश	Visual Elicitation Grounded Theory (VE-GT) is a qualitative design that augments classical grounded theory with visual elicitation techniques — photographs, drawings, video stills, or participant-produced images — as the primary stimulus for data collection. Instead of relying solely on verbal prompts, the researcher uses images to help participants articulate meanings, memories, and social processes that are difficult to express in words alone. The resulting interview data are then analysed using the full grounded theory analytic cycle of open coding, axial coding, and theoretical sampling to generate a substantive theory.	Phenomenology is a qualitative research approach that investigates how participants live through and make sense of a specific experience. Rooted in the philosophy of Edmund Husserl and extended by Martin Heidegger, it aims to reveal the essential structures of lived experience rather than to measure or predict outcomes. The two most widely applied variants are Husserl's transcendental phenomenology, which seeks universal essences, and Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology, which emphasises interpretation within context.
