This essay aims to introduce an alternative methodological approach, phenomenography, for studying users of information systems. Phenomenography can reveal the variation in users’ views. We outline the use of phenomenography with the help of our hands-on experiences from two empirical studies: in the contexts of e-privacy and virtual product prototypes. We also discuss two common misinterpretat...

This paper describes the research Approach of Phenomenography. A research question that has been addressed by this method is used to allow comparison between Phenomenography and Actor-Network Theory as approaches to questions involving the adoption of new techniques in information systems projects.

In this paper, we outline how the literature on phenomenography, specifically Marton and Booth (1997), and the literature that adopts a „critical approach‟, specifically Friere (1996), can be brought together to help us to understand the barriers that face students and teachers in engaging in learning and teaching in higher education. Our attempt is motivated by a wish to relate the different f...

Traditionally, behaviouristic models have been used for the design of many interactive learning environments. In contrast, we propose a pedagogical model based on social constructivism and phenomenography, which we believe is more adequate when, for instance, information seeking and the use of the WWW are natural components in the learning situation. To see learners as persons who continuously ...

This paper presents a visual conceptual model for the qualitative research approach referred to as phenomenography. The static and recursive stages of rigorous phenonemographical are outlined in detail. Using example study situated pre-service teacher education, authors explain how fifteen distinct steps phenomenographic should be addressed with attention sequencing these support reliability ri...

The aim of this paper is to suggest perspectives on movement capability and skill learning that take into account the intrinsic, meaningful value moving in terms experience mover as a learner knower. Two will be presented discussed here: phenomenology phenomenography, with focus phenomenography. Since some similarities between these two has raised questions caused confusion, attempts clarify, m...

Abstract This study contends that phenomenography offers both a useful research method and practical tools for developing education training career practitioners. After introducing the basic principles of phenomenography, reviews previous on its potential in pedagogical practices. It explores how phenomenographic findings were utilized to design an online skills programme The finds serves three...

This article looks at architecture students' changes in approach to design learning between the first and fourth years of the architecture programme; charting the variation in the said approaches and exploring the reasons for the differences. The study, which aimed to use phenomenography to understand such approaches with the objective of exploring the variation from a qualitative perspective, ...

This paper outlines the impact of phenomenography on higher education research and academic development. Interest in as an educational methodology continues to grow, but with interest growing faster than number experienced researchers, some misunderstandings approach have arisen been circulating discussions publications, becoming self-reinforcing. can cause misinterpretations meaning implicatio...
