The main purposes of phenomenological research are to seek reality from individuals’ narratives of their experiences and feelings, and to produce in-depth descriptions of the phenomenon. Phenomenological research studies in educational settings generally embody lived experience, perception, and feelings of participants about a phenomenon. This study aims to provide a general framework for researchers who are interested in phenomenological studies especially in educational setting. Additionally, the study provides a guide for researchers on how to conduct a phenomenological research and how to collect and analyze phenomenal data. The first part of the paper explains the underpinnings of the research methodology consisting of methodological framework and key phenomenological concepts. The second part provides guidance for a phenomenological research in education settings, focusing particularly on phenomenological data collection procedure and phenomenological data analysis methods.

The Embodiment of the individual self: a conceptualization of body in hegel’s phenomenology of spirit Önder, Sevi Emek; Çırakman, Elif; Department of Philosophy (2018) The primary purpose of this thesis is to investigate and conceptualize the notion of “body” in the context of certain sections of the Phenomenology of Spirit. While investigating the notion of “body” in the thesis, my intention is to see the possibility of reading the Phenomenology as “the science of the embodiment of consciousness”. By relying on this approach, I will try to thematize and give a comprehensive account of the “body” in the “Consciousness” and “Self-Consciousness” sections of the Phenomenolog...
Rational choice theory: its merits and limits in explaining and predicting cultural behavior Kılınç Adanalı, Yurdagül; Turan, Şeref Halil; Department of Philosophy (2016) The main goal of this dissertation is to examine whether instrumental rationality can predict and explain successfully human behavior in all walks of life. I have chosen Rational Choice Theory and Public Choice Theory as the focus of my investigation, since they are considered as the best models of instrumental rationality in philosophy and social sciences, and in particular in economics and politics. To see their merits and to determine their limits, I have applied Rational Choice Theory and Public Choice ...
Behavioral relevance of consciousness for human action: explorations with the simon task paradigm Gök, Selvi Elif; Hohenberger, Annette Edeltraud; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2016) The motivation of this thesis is to investigate whether consciousness has an effect on human behaviors. To this aim an exploratory approach is adopted where an experimental design with two parts is developed. In the first part, participants are first presented objects moving to the left or to the right in accordance with a rule (i.e. familiarization phase), and then transferred to a subsequent two-choice stimulus-response task for stimuli presented at the center of the screen (i.e. Simon phase). Although th...
The explanatory gap problem in philosophy of mind Arıkan, Pakize; Sayan, Erdinç; Department of Philosophy (2007) A given qualitative mental experience possesses qualitative aspects, or qualia, that identify and distinguish it from other qualitative mental states. While some philosophers explained the mental phenomena by positing nonphysical kinds of entities, some others propose wholly physical explanations. Even if those physicalistic explanations of the mental shed some light on the issue of body-mind relation, Joseph Levine claims that there still exists an explanatory gap between a qualitative mental state and the...
Exploration of explicit and implicit motivations of candidate psychotherapists for practicing psychotherapy Çevrim, Mustafa; Gençöz, Tülin; Department of Psychology (2017) The main aim of this thesis was to explore the explicit and implicit motivations of candidate psychotherapists for practicing psychotherapy. A qualitative approach was employed to achieve this purpose. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 5 candidate psychotherapists, and data was analyzed through Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Three super-ordinate themes emerged from the obtained data, which were (1) what were the characteristics of candidate psychotherapists?, (2) what motivated...
