2: Introducing phenomenography

Restricted access
Rights and permissions Cite this chapter

The second chapter acknowledges the people who first posed the questions which led them to craft, test and articulate, what was, at that time, a novel approach, and brings to attention a selection of the phenomenographers and phenomenographic work that has subsequently shaped and progressed it. The terminology associated with phenomenography is often found to be confused and confusing, with different researchers using terms in a variety of ways, some of which are – or can seem to be – contradictory. This part of the book will go back to the founders, the original sources, to disentangle some of this confusion. It will also look at how phenomenography fits into the wider research landscape.
