Muhtasari	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.	Hermeneutic phenomenology is a qualitative research approach that investigates the interpreted meaning of lived experience from within the existential conditions that shape it. Rooted in Heidegger's ontology and developed as an empirical method by Max van Manen, it does not seek to bracket or suspend the researcher's understanding but instead treats that understanding as the very medium through which the meaning of experience can be disclosed. The approach is widely used in education, nursing, and social sciences to explore how people dwell in, and make sense of, their world.
