Navigating the phenomenological and phenomenographic terrain as a doctoral student in a Networked Learning context
Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Whilst recognising ”there is no such thing as one phenomenology, and if there could be such a thing it would never become anything like a philosophical technique’ (Heidegger, 1982, p328), the proliferation of various strains of phenomenological and phenomenographic research has resulted in misunderstandings and poor practises, with some authors contradicting each other (Groenewald, 2004). De-mystification of the choices and their implication across the various approaches and techniques is needed. An improved clarity would potentially motivate a more confident and robust application of phenomenology, to the advantage of the networked learning research community and its’ research benefactors. This round-table will provide an opportunity for researchers to advance the understanding of the potential variants of design, results and value between different phenomenological and phenomenographic approaches adopted in a networked learning context.
