Description

Researching Lived Experience, Second Edition by Max van Manen is a seminal work in social science methodology and phenomenological research. This book introduces a human science approach to research methodology in education and related fields, focusing on the "everyday lived experience" of human beings in educational situations. The author offers an alternative to traditional approaches, tapping into the unique nature of each human situation through detailed methodological explications and practical examples of inquiry. The book provides a broad and systematic set of approaches for gaining experiential material that forms the basis for textual reflections. By exploring the role of language and anecdotal narrative in research, van Manen provides a nuanced understanding of how to construct a textual question that evokes wonder and informs meaningful inquiry.
