Figured Worlds: Ontological Obstacles in Intercultural Relations. To say that a mental state has intentionality is to say that it is a mental representation and that it has content. Vygotsky, L. S.

New York, NY: McGraw-Hill Irwin. Berkeley, CA: University of California Press. Creswell, J. W., Shope, R., Plano Clark, V. L., and Green, D. O. In this brief volume, Clark Moustakas clearly explains the theoretical underpinnings of phenomenology, based on the work of Husserl and others, and takes the reader step-by-step through the process of conducting a phenomenological study. The fact that women were included in his persecution speaks to the fervor of his acting on his beliefs (Wiersbe, 1989). 39, 107116. It was a period of time Pharaoh could have used to reevaluate the state of the land and people that had resulted from his decision and continued commitment to that decision.

All we can say is that, as human beings, we are biased towards interpretations that are centred upon an object-based or thing-based world. Linell, P. (2009). Organizational behavior and management (9th ed.). WebA phenomenological study facilitates a methodology that probes the human experience, sheds light on the complexity of individual perceptions and offers ways of gaining insight and understanding into peoples experiences. Hughes, J. Therefore, a persons understanding is an understanding of a thing or an aspect of a thing (object). Anal. Each step is addressed in further detail in the remainder of the paper. This step helps organise the textural description of the experience (Moustakas, 1994). Another reason to use a purposive sampling method is that in qualitative, particularly in phenomenological inquiry, the aim is not to generalise findings to a population but to develop insights and in-depth exploration of an under-researched phenomenon (Onwuegbuzie and Leech, 2007).

Noetic-noematic schema represents the connection between an individual and the world (Sousa, 2014). WebThe phenomenological reduction requires that one avoid all abstraction, all theorizing, all generalization, even all belief in the existence of what we call real or not real (the experience of a dream or hallucination can be just as real as the experience of an actual event). We were interested in further understanding the phenomenon of transitioning itself rather than collecting students opinions and perspectives about the experience of transitioning. During this process the researchers, examine the phenomenon by strictly adhering to the invivo narrative 2016; Giorgi, 2008, 2009, 2012; Moustakas, 1994; Vagle, 2018). The discussion over the structures that emerge from all participants interviews should take the form of writing a composite summary to describe how the experienced phenomenon is seen by the participants (Giorgi, 1985; Hycner, 1985; Van Manen, 1990; Moustakas, 1994).

From a phenomenological perspective, we assume that knowledge provided through the research activities is a result of the researchers and participants interactions with the phenomenon that is subject to the investigation. Compare 43, 346365. Nurs. Qual. Phenomenological Research Methods. The textural description, which is by now translated in the language in which the study is conducted (if different from the language in which the participants expressed themselves during the interviews), presents what is experienced by each participant to provide this thick description, it is important to ask the following question for every invariant meaning unit: what can possibly appear as the texture of the participants experience?

Responding to and engaging with previous works that were concerned with the same experience. Transcendental phenomenology (TPh), largely developed by Husserl, is a philosophical approach to qualitative research methodology seeking to understand human experience (Moustakas, 1994). To minimise this necessary risk, it is recommended to ask external reviewers to be independent judges and check for consistency under the themes that are selected. J. Nurs. These clusters are the core themes to use in organising the invariant meaning units (here referred to as the core themes of the experience of the phenomenon; Moustakas, 1994, p. 121), before revisiting them to develop the textural description of the participants experience. Phenomenology has long served as a research model for many psychologists and other social science scholars and professionals. Yet there are few books that actually explain how to do phenomenological research. A Primer in Phenomenological Psychology. In this volume, Clark Moustakas clearly discusses the theoretical underpinnings of phenomenology, based on the work of Husserl and others, and takes the The end result of Pharaohs immovable and irrational decision was the severe suffering of the people, animals, agriculture, economy, and a devastatingly high death toll. Saul heard and received the counsel about his purposeful decision to persecute believers and, through an epoche, accepted Gods counsel, rescinded his decision, and changed the trajectory of his life. Qual. The Descriptive Phenomenological Method in Psychology: A Modified Husserlian Approach. (2011). Todres, L. (2007). This methodological mode can play a significant role in the process and activity of data analysis. Giorgi, A. The researchers aim is that of identifying the essential and invariant structure (i.e., the essence) of the lived experience as this is described by the participants (Moustakas, 1994; Crotty, 1998; Cresswell, 2008). Blum added that phenomenology seeks to describe and interpret the perspective of the religious subject or the experience that the subject regards as real (p. 1030). Descriptive phenomenology was derived mainly from the philosophical work of Husserl and particularly from the idea of transcendental phenomenology (Moustakas, 1994; Lopez and Willis, 2004; Giorgi, 2010). In order to capture and explicate the essence and the structures constituting the experience encountered by the participants nine steps can be followed: (a) transcribing participants interviews, (b) developing a sense of the whole, (c) developing meaning units for each participants experience (horizontalisation), (d) clustering relevant units of meanings, (e) translating the meaning units, (f) developing textural (i.e., narrative) descriptions for each individual, (g) searching for essential structures that could express the entire textural description, (h) evaluating the textural description, and (i) synthesising the structure from all participants accounts.

Pharaoh was not willing to fully experience an epoche and, consumed by his own noetic and noematic paradigms, led his empire (i.e., organization) to suffer interminable losses and be gutted of leadership and resources (Ex 7:1 14: 28, 29).

Moustakas noted that epoche is a conscious process of identification and subsequent quarantine of naturally occurring thought patterns. Pauls humility, in response to direct revelation from God, prevented escalation of commitment (Owens & Hekman, 2012) and contributed to his successful work among the Gentiles and the building of the first century church. *Correspondence: Ahmed Ali Alhazmi, ahalhazmi@jazanu.edu.sa; ahmed.alhazmi1@gmail.com, View all

Bracketing refers to the efforts that should be made to be open to listening to and observing the described phenomenon with fresh eyes. For what concerns Vygotsky and neo-Vygotskian authors (and their sociocultural perspectives), they facilitate our understanding of the phenomenon of cross-cultural transition and its investigation. Yet the definitions and examples are often clouded with ambiguity, leaving novice researchers with more questions than answers. Share
