La fenomenologia come metodo di ricerca pedagogica con e per le famiglie

The aim of the paper is to present some of the specific opportunities and toolsthat Phenomenology, meant as a paradigm and therefore a research method,can offer the pedagogy of family relationships.First, some of the central categories of Phenomenology are described anddiscussed, with specific reference to Husserl and some of his first students. Below,it is explained in more detail how phenomenology can be a style of fieldresearch, also in the link with Hermeneutics. Thanks to this description, itwill be highlighted that every phenomenological research design is, as such, aneducational project with a specific ethical depth.Although the objective of these pages is not to present a specific research inthe field, nor to explain its results, however an experience of analysis and eideticdescription of some parental lived-experiences that emerged in a phenomenologicalresearch-intervention will be also reported, from the point of view by oneof the researchers who carried out it.
