현상학 연구는 질적 연구방법 중에서도 현상의 이면을 밝혀 그 본질을 도출하는 방법론이다. 이런 본래 의 현상학적 연구의 취지를 살려 연구의 성격에 맞춰 현상의 본질을 드러낼 수 있는 다양한 현상학적 방법 론이 적용될 필요가 있다. 하지만 현상학적 방법론은 현실적으로 지오르지(Giorgi)와 반마넨(Van Manen) 의 방법론에 치우쳐 있는 실정이다. 이런 문제의식을 바탕으로 본 연구자는 청소년의 학교폭력 경험에 적용 한 현상학적 자기평가방법의 분석방법을 고찰했다. 이 방법론은 환원과정이 4단계로 구체적이어서 현상학 의 본래 취지인 본질에 도달하는데 적합하다고 생각한다. 구체적으로 학교폭력 피해학생의 심층인터뷰를 활용해 현상학적 자기평가방법의 환원과정을 이 연구에서 보여주었다. 이 현상학적 자기평가방법은 사회복 지학이나 사회학에서 다루는 현상의 본질을 파악하기에 적합한 연구방법이라 할 수 있다.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore advanced response policies and psychological and emotional support measures for early infected people in the event of an infectious disease by analyzing the experiences of self-employed women who experienced confirmation in the early stages of the coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: Data were collected through in-depth interviews with six experiences of self-employed women confirmed with COVID-19 in the early stages of the pandemic selected through the intentional sampling process, and then analyzed and interpreted through Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Results: Through analyzing the meaningful statement of the study participants, several themes were identified, including “The pressure of dying from an incurable illness”, “The fear of quarantine and the fear of death”, “The difficulty of being a self-employed woman”, “The pain of social stigma”, “The driving force of one’s overcoming”, and “Expansion of perspective due to new experiences”. Conclusion: The study found that participants experienced anxiety and fear during the transfer process and admission to the facility after confirmation, due to the lack of guidance and face-to-face interactions. The non-face-to-face treatment increased their anxiety, as they could not receive accurate information about their health conditions and care. This highlights the impact of inaccurate information regarding COVID-19 and media reports focusing on severely ill patients and deaths. In addition, the study participants experienced social stigma caused by COVID-19, resulting in changes in their interpersonal relationships and life attitudes. Implications are suggested based on the results of this study.

Purpose: This study aimed to understand the core concept of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) psychotherapy through the experience of psychotherapists by presenting an in-depth analysis of the formation and change process of their irrational beliefs. Methods: Data were collected through in-depth interviews with four REBT counselors selected through an intentional sampling process, and then analyzed and interpreted through Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Results: After an in-depth analysis of the meaningful statements of the study participants, six themes and fifteen sub-themes were extracted. The six themes were ‘self-hindering thoughts’, ‘environments that amplify irrational beliefs’, ‘war and struggle for the self’, ‘realization of life strategies’, ‘my big self (I) that consists of countless smaller selves (i)’, and ‘life is a continuous self-therapy’. Conclusion: The results showed that REBT psychotherapists form their irrational beliefs through the overall evaluations of justification, exaggeration, and people that arise from important interactions with others, including their parents, and further reinforce these beliefs through internal and external compensation. These irrational beliefs led to evaluative judgment and self-discrepancy and negatively influenced the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects as well as their presence. These irrational beliefs internalized and transformed the rational beliefs that were confirmed through a debate on the separation between problems and people and, distancing, repeated self-talks, expanded from self-acceptance to others, and persisted through self-treatment methods

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand the meaning and nature of the experiences of adult patients infected with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) when they were teens. Methods: To this end, we analyzed how the experience was interpreted in their daily lives and what its meaning was through the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), a new method of extensive qualitative research in the UK. Among the confirmed HIV infections in teenagers, three people who agreed to participate in the study were men in their 20s and 30s. Participants were interviewed in-depth to collect data and the data was analyzed and interpreted using IPA. Results: As the results, eight themes and 18 sub-themes were derived from meaningful statements through in-depth analysis, and these were categorized into 4 categories. The four categories included ‘shock and despair’, ‘realistic difficulties’, ‘barriers in relationships’, and ‘life transitions’. Conclusion: Adolescent infected persons had support from their families or surroundings, and this positively influenced on the recovery of infected persons. We discussed the implications of the understanding of HIV infection, changes in social perception, the need for correct sex education, and the experiences of teenagers infected with HIV, and suggested follow-up studies.

이 연구는 두명의 중학교 과학 교사의 과학 수업이 어떻게 한국의 독특한 교육 상황에 의해 영향을 받으며, 이러한 수업 경험이 그들에게 가지는 의미가 무엇인지를 알아보기 위한 현상학적 해석 연구이다. 특히 본 연구는 두 과학 교사가 어떻게 교수 방법을 선정하며 외부적인 상황 즉 교육과정, 학교정책, 환경, 문화, 학생들의 학습동기등이 어떻게 과학 교사들의 교수 방법, 수업 실제에 영향을 미치는지에 중점을 두었다. 이 연구는 두 달간 대도시의 한 중학교에서 시행되었으며, 각 참여 교사에 대한 수업 관찰과 수업 관찰 후 이루어진 인터뷰가 주요 데이터로 사용되었다. 연구 결과는 현상학적 연구 방법에 의해 분석, 기록되었다. 이 연구의 결과는 첫째, 과학 수업에서 다루어야 할 과중한 교과 내용의 양과 제한된 수업 시간등의 외부적 요인들이 중등학교 과학교사들의 수업에 대한 신념이나 경험에 상관없이 수업의 형태를 결정하는 중요한 요인이라는 것을 보여준다. 둘째, 사교육을 통해 이루어지는 학생들의 과학교과 선행학습과 학생들이 수업에 참여할때 나타나는 낮은 학습 동기가 각 교사의 교사의 역할에 대한 인식에 영향을 미치며, 궁극적으로 교사들의 교수 방법 선정에 영향을 미친다는 것을 보여준다.
