This is an accessible, concise introduction to phenomenological research in education and social sciences. Mark Vagle outlines the key principles for conducting this research from leading contemporary practitioners, such as van Manen, Giorgi and Dahlberg. He builds on their work by introducing his post-intentional phenomenology, which incorporates elements of post-structural thinking into traditional methods. Vagle provides readers with methodological tools to build their own phenomenological study, addressing such issues as data gathering, validity and writing. Replete with exercises for students, case studies, resources for further research and examples of completed phenomenological studies, this brief book affords the instructor an easy entree into introducing phenomenology into courses on qualitative research, social theory or educational research.
