Heuristic Research: Exploring Lived Experience
Heuristic Research: Exploring Lived Experience
.
In this book, Meath Conlan has demonstrated a keen sense of his interpretivist world view and draws on significant scholars to elaborate his position. Important, however, is that he weds heuristic inquiry, as a method, with phenomenology, as a philosophical movement with interpretivism, as a world view. Conlan manages to demonstrate that heuristic inquiry, (as all good methods of inquiry), reflects philosophic assumptions about knowledge-generating. In this case, the Moustakas heuristic method is the centre-piece that permeates his inquiry. Conlan demonstrates that the heuristic approach is a way to delve into the human inner spirit to get to what Polanyi calls, indwelling. The heuristic analysis then offers him ways to make meaning of the texts. Thus the marriage of phenomenology with heuristic inquiry provides a synergistic effect throughout the work.

Looking for Heuristic research, I found your weblink. I am studying Technology enhanced learning in the University of Lancaster and I am using heuristic approach to explore real time reflection and learning for my thesis. I am really interested in your work and I wonder if you could share some publication of yours since we are in the same train of thought.
Best wishes from Greece,
