The main difference between ethnography and phenomenology is that ethnography focuses on the collective experiences of a community whereas phenomenology focuses on the individual experiences of individuals. Phenomenology is based on the idea that there may be multiple ways of interpreting the same experience while ethnographers are more interested in uncovering knowledge about the culture as a whole.
Phenomenology is a research study that aims to understand the subjective, lived experiences and perspectives of participants. It provides information about a unique individual experience and is based on the idea that the same experience can be interpreted in multiple ways and that reality consists of the meaning of the experience to each participant. Phenomenology provides a rich and complete description of human experiences and meanings.
Interviews are the main form of data collection.
