Abstract: The phenomenological approach is a research method that emphasizes an in-depth understandingof individuals’ subjective experiences of a phenomenon or event. This approach focuses on expressing andinterpreting the meaning of direct experiences as perceived by individuals, in order to gain a richerunderstanding of personal interpretations and the essence of human experience. The paper provides anoverview of the phenomenological perspective, including key concepts such as phenomena, eoche,constitution, consciousness, and reduction. It discusses how phenomenology was pioneered byphilosophers like Edmund Husserl, who emphasized the importance of understanding the meaning ofindividual experience rather than relying on hypotheses or axioms. Phenomenology is presented asaccupying a middle ground between realism and idealism, acknowledging that the world and its contentsare real, while also recognizing that reality emerges through an active process in consciousness. The goalof phenomenological research is to descriptively explain and understand the essence of subjective humanexperiences and the structures of meaning that arise from them.
