Abstract
PHENOMENOLOGY IS A PHILOSOPHICAL MOVEMENT THAT APPROACHES THE STUDY OF HUMAN BEINGS AND THEIR CULTURE DIFFERENTLY FROM THE LOGICAL POSITIVIS T MODEL USED IN THE NATURAL SCIENCES AND IN SPECIAL EDUCATION. PHENOME NOLOGISTS VIEW THE APPLICATION OF THE LOGICAL POSITIVIST MODEL TO THE STUDY OF HUMAN BEINGS AS INAPPROPRIATE BECAUSE THE MODEL DOES NOT ADDR ESS THE UNIQUENESS OF HUMAN LIFE. IN THIS ARTICLE, THE THEORETICAL ASS UMPTIONS AND METHODOLOGICAL ORIENTATIONS OF PHENOMENOLOGY ARE DISCUSSE D, FOLLOWED BY THEIR APPLICATIONS TO WAYS OF DOING RESEARCH IN SPECIAL EDUCATION.
