Chapter 3
3.1 Introduction
The study is focused towards the essential analysis and evaluation of qualitative data
analysis. The focus will be towards understanding the essence of qualitative analysis for
evaluating research subjects. The technique used in the research is empirical phenomenological
analysis. The study has been made to understand how qualitative analysis can help towards
effectively understanding a given subject matter. Empirical phenomenological analysis is the
basic focus of the study. Phenomenological analysis is essentially an approach towards
qualitative research that is psychological with a focus that is majorly ideographic. Thus, the
research essentially analyzes the perception of a phenomenon by a person developed in a certain
phenomenon. The study has effectively analyzed how people can make sense of a given situation
through this type of qualitative research. Various empirical studies have been consulted to
understand the significance of phenomenological research. The personal aspects of
understanding a research has been essentially focused through the study. The study has made
extensive use of theories and relevant literatures to effectively analyze the topic. Qualitative
analysis of the subject has been given preference as the research is completely focused towards
the essential presentation of implications that are derived from previous studies and related
literature (Smith 2015). The broader concepts that are related to the concept of empirical
phenomenological analysis have been evaluated through the study. The previous literatures have
pointed towards the various aspects of phenomenological analysis that serve to elaborate on the
psychological foundations of this type of research approaches. The psychological aspects of
phenomenology have been given preference in the study.

3.2 Research Methodology
Qualitative analysis is given preference over quantitative analysis in the study. This is
mostly because qualitative analysis can help towards gathering effective information in regards
to the relevant perspectives that exist. An observational process has been utilized for the clear
understanding of the subject matter. Various problems can be observed through the process of
qualitative research and the researchers can compose ideas to solve the problem. Qualitative
methods were employed across educational institutions to develop an effective method for
making and presenting projects by extensively using the methods of IBS.
In a qualitative research deeper investigation of research topics are possible. It provides
an essential framework for more exploratory work to take place. Exploratory research help the in
depth analysis of a topic and the research is not limited by the constraints of the general
understanding of a topic (Van Manen 2016). This makes it easier to gather better information
from a wide range of sources. The gesture and the posture of the topic can be essentially
understood through the work.
The study is utilizing qualitative research as the work is dependent on results that are
genuine and not dependent onany pre conceived information gathered from previous literary
sources (Miles, Huberman and Saldana 2013). The voices that cannot be otherwise represented
are being represented through the research. Thus, predetermined information has not been given
much preference in the work.
Qualitative research has been deemed to be the most effective approach for carrying out
the study. This is more so because these type of research procedure has effectively helped
towards gathering information from sources that are the most important considering the study
