“…Phenomenology is the study of structures of experience, or consciousness. Literally, it is the study of phenomena, appearances of things, as they appear in our experience or the ways we experience things (Smith, 2018). As mentioned by Hancock, Windridge, and Ockleford (2009), phenomenological study systematically focused on how people or group of people can have different ways of looking at reality.…”

The goal of this research was to describe the experiences of teachers in Davao City, Philippines with multiple ancillary functions. Employing phenomenological approach among 18 teacher participants, in-depth interview, and focus group discussion were conducted. Results revealed that most of the participants experienced positive gains from their experiences which challenged them to aspire more advancement for themselves. Themes generated were endurance, perseverance, risk-taking competence, and determination. Coping mechanisms of the participants included proper planning and time management, optimism and positivity, achieving life-work balance, and inspiration and support system. Despite the rigors of life as teachers with multiple ancillary functions, they shared positive insights about their experiences on commitment and dedication, being positive, prospects for growth and development, and as a testament of faith and trust in one's abilities.

“…the phrase "what it is like" has been used to refer to the subjective character of being conscious. An influential article on Phenomenology, for instance, contains the phrase "what it is like to have sensations of various kinds" (Smith, 2015). The famous Zombie Argument against the reducibility of the mental to the physical asserts "There is nothing it is like to be a zombie" (Chalmers, 2013).…”

Don't Say "Consciousness": Toward a Uniform Vocabulary of Subjectivity

The language we use to talk about consciousness, experience, mind, subjectivity and the like is ambiguous. Different people use common terms in different ways without realizing it, and thereby foster confusion. In this paper a terminology is proposed for speaking of subjectivity. An operational definition is given of the term "subjectivity," and from that standpoint usages of the terms "experience," "consciousness" and "awareness" are proposed. The approach is both phenomenological in the tradition of Husserl, examining that which is given directly from a first-person point of view while holding in abeyance interpretive theories, and analytic in the British tradition, attempting to clarify terminology used to discuss what is found in such phenomenological investigation. After proposing definitions of salient terms, suggestions are given for reframing confusing language. To make the speaker's meaning clear it is recommended to avoid the term "consciousness" altogether.

“…Significant efforts will be made to reduce potential bias during the data analysis phase, including bracketing and phenomenological reduction. In review, transcendental phenomenology is used in this study to understand a participant's conscious experience of the phenomenon (Smith, 2013) and explore how that phenomenon exists to the participant.…”

“…According to the Smith (2013), transcendental phenomenology seeks to understand an observer's conscious and intentional experience of something. In transcendental phenomenology, the question is not if something exists, but how that something exists (Smith, 2013). The use of transcendental phenomenology can help provide an in-depth understanding of how participants perceive the phenomenon.…”
