Boracay Island, Philippines is known for being a world’s beach destination.  However, rapid infrastructures development and wanton disregard to the physical environment eventually lead to a six-month temporary closure of the Island for rehabilitation purposes based on Presidential Proclamation No. 475.  As a consequence, emergence of displaced workers in the Island occurred. In this paper, the researchers aimed to know the perceptions of the displaced workers in terms of their stances, feelings and opportunities relative to the issue. The researchers used Phenomenological study, a qualitative research, to deeply know the lived experiences of the displaced tourism workers in Boracay. Key informants were selected through purposive sampling. This study evinced that the displaced workers carry on their indomitable spirits of survival. Hence, the displaced workers were amenable of the closure of the Island for the preservation for the next generation. Moreover, they established business in their respective places, while others are looking for new opportunities. Nevertheless, they still have plans to go back to the Island because of innermost and better opportunities that await them. It is strongly recommended that all stakeholders must strictly enforce environmental laws owing to the fact that the main attraction of Boracay is their pristine nature; without it, everything about Boracay goes nil.

This research sought to describe the Ethno-mathematical practices of the Eskaya tribe of Taytay, Duero, Bohol using the ethnographical research design to explore the ethnomathematics practices through the lived experiences of the informants. Employing purposive sampling, selected teachers, parents, and students from the tribe served as the key informants of the study. Data collection took almost a year of observation, lived experiences documentation, and interviews. The study was able to describe some of the ethnomathematical practices of the Eskaya tribe such as the skills and processes of the Eskaya tribe commonly use in their daily life in counting, measuring, ciphering, ordering, classifying, inferring, and modeling patterns. These skills and techniques were used in studying their Eskaya numeration systems such as the Eskaya numbers and numerals, the Eskaya name of the basic shapes and the four fundamental operations, and the use of Eskaya numbers in measuring time, days, and months.

Informal Interview

This paper utilized phenomenological qualitative research to determine the lived experiences of ten students who are also mothers in pursuing their college education. The participants were identified using purposive sampling. The participants were screened using the following inclusion criteria: enrolled in any bachelor’s degree and had one or more children. The researcher used an informal interview as tool in gathering the data. Five themes emerged from the participants’ data: the meaning of a woman and a mother, becoming young mothers, the importance of fulfilling their dreams, the challenges and difficulties they faced in their studies, and the effect of schooling in their life. All   participants believed that women are strong in facing the adversities in life. On the other hand, mothers to the participants need not depend on men to support their children. The participants also likened the word mother to love and sacrifice. The lived experiences of these student-mothers won my admiration for they live their life to the fullest by becoming good mothers at the same time good students.

Depth Interview

In this phenomenological study, we offer an insightful understanding of the lived experiences of seven (7) Filipino elderly participating in craft-making. We purposively selected the key informants from a municipality in the province of Bulacan, Philippines. The transcribed data gathered through a semi-structured in-depth interview was analyzed using Colaizzi’s approach. Six themes describing the lived experiences emerged: “Fostering friendship,” “Flourishing health,” “Furthering service,” “Facing aging with acceptance,” “Finding felicity and self-fulfillment,” “Feelings of belongingness and security.” Just like the sun, the elderly’s participation in craft-making serves as a nourishment for them. This exploration speaks to understanding the potential of craft-making as a leisure activity for elderly.

This article draws on crystallization, a qualitative framework developed by Laurel Richardson and Laura Ellingson, to show the potential of using sociological narratives and creative writing to better analyze and represent the lived experiences of loneliness among older people living in Australian care homes. Crystallization uses a multi-genre approach to study and present social phenomena. At its core is a concern for the ethics of representation, which is critical when engaging with vulnerable populations. We use two case studies from research on loneliness to illustrate an application of crystallization through different narrative types. To supplement our sociological narratives, we invited author Josephine Wilson to write creative narratives based on the case studies. Josephine was awarded the prestigious Miles Franklin Literary Award in 2017 for Extinctions, a novel exploring themes such as later life and loneliness. By contrasting the two approaches—sociological and creative narratives—we discuss the implications of crystallization for qualitative research.

This article explores the experiences of social exclusion of individuals with visual impairment (IWVI) as they negotiate their daily lives in their homes and societal settings in the Oshana and Oshikoto regions of Namibia. Employing qualitative research approach, this research tried to better understand the lived experiences of IWVI. Nine IWVI with ages ranging from 30 to 90 years were initially engaged in focus group discussions, followed by semi-structured in-depth individual interviews. The findings of this research indicated that IWVI experience exclusion from education, employment and social and community participation as well as relationships. Based on these findings, we suggest more inclusive policies to address social exclusion of IWVI. At the same time, this group of individuals should be empowered to participate in community activities to promote interaction with people without visual impairments.

This qualitative research explored the lived experiences of domestic violence advocates to better understand the elements involved in domestic violence service delivery in the United States, focusing on positive and challenging aspects of their work. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 advocates who assisted domestic violence survivors. Advocates’ persistent engagement in reflective practice and advocacy for the survivors against a victim-blaming culture were identified as important elements in delivering multi-faceted domestic violence services. Implications for social work and domestic violence practice in improving domestic violence service delivery for the survivors are discussed.
