An introduction to phenomenographic research
Abstract
This article descibes the structure of the workshop on phenomenography which was presented at the EAHIL+ICAHIS+ICLC workshop in Edinburgh, in June 2015. Phenomenography is a qualitative research approach, used to discover variation in peoples conceptions of a phenomenon. After introducing this research approach, there was a discussion of a phenomenographic study and the workshop finished with participants coding an example transcript as practice for data analysis.
