Annotation. Manen (philosophy of education, Alberta) introduces an approach to quantitative research methodology in education and related fields that is based on ordinary situations of people in educational situations, rather than being derived from behavioral or natural sciences, as is more common. Provides a detailed description of the methodology, and examples of hermeneutic-phenomenological inquiry for gaining experimental material from which to construct textual questions.
