Yet, few teachersunderstand what imagination is or how it lends itself topractical methods and techniques that can be used easily inclassroom instruction.

Researching Lived Experience introduces an approach to qualitative research methodology in education and related fields that is distinct from traditional approaches derived from the behavioral or natural sciences--an approach rooted in the "everyday lived experience" of human beings in educational situations. Rather than relying on abstract generalizations and theories, van Manen offers an alternative that taps the unique nature of each human situation.

<p>Writing in the Dark brings together a wide range of studies of relevance to qualitative researchers and professional practitioners. Each chapter is an example of how a different kind of human experience may be explored, and how the methods used for investigating phenomena may contribute to the process of human understanding. Max van Manen provides the opening and closing chapters for the book, and also an introduction to each selection. The authors are all accomplished professionals in their respective fields; they show how the challenge of doing qualitative research can be pursued through the process of inquiry, reflection and writing. The sixteen chapters offer the reader compelling insights into topics of concern to education, health science, clinical psychology, information technology, the designing arts, pedagogy, and related dimensions of everyday life. Writing in the dark is a valuable and rich resource for people who would like to learn more about phenomenological reflection and writing.</p>
