“…The researchers asked a first key informant (Gilstrap, 2007) who was related to individuals who could potentially be helping vulnerable groups during home confinement. This first key informant gave the researchers five names and their email addresses to contact them, and a sixth name was given by one of the first five participants.…”

Research on homelessness is a field of study in social sciences with a long and solid history. Several pieces of research have let us understand the life experiences and trajectories of these individuals, the challenges that they have faced, and the interventions conducted with them to address this inequality. Nonetheless, the research methodologies in those studies prove short in a situation such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. If we, researchers, are to prioritize social impact, we cannot wait for the pandemic to be overcome to employ those methodologies to investigate homelessness. If so doing, we would meet the needs of homeless people too late. Because social impact is at the forefront, if those methodological resources are not sufficient, then it is necessary to introduce additional ones. This article presents how to address this challenge via the employment of the communicative methodology of research, with the example of a qualitative investigation on how homeless people were attended during the lockdown in Spain in March 2020. The researchers could not meet these individuals on the streets by that time, yet their experiences during the lockdown and how they were being transformed were examined via on-line interviews with individuals voluntarily serving homeless people during home confinement. This methodological innovation in qualitative research is at the service of social impact and can be helpful to researchers investigating vulnerable groups in difficult times.

“…The present article addresses this desideratum by investigating the experiences of participants in schools and introducing the phenomenologically oriented vignette as a research method for studying educational leadership practices. There are still only few projects (e.g., Gilstrap, 2007; Souba, 2014) addressing the topic leadership from a phenomenological perspective. This contribution will be guided by the following central research question: How can experiences of learning be empirically researched from the perspective of a phenomenology of the living body with co-experienced observations? …”

Research on the link between educational leadership and student learning employs a variety of quantitative and qualitative research designs. Surprisingly, there are relatively few studies on methods for researching educational leadership practices. This article addresses this gap in research and discusses how the experiences of different participants can constitute potential starting points for learning processes. This leads to the question, how and to what extent the educational leadership practices manifest in students' experiences and how "Leadership for Learning as Experience" can be empirically researched. The phenomenologically oriented vignette as research method for studying educational leadership practices will be introduced. Vignettes are narratives that are based on the experiences of participants. In vignettes, the co-experienced observations in the field are captured in form of vivid narratives. Vignettes thus open up a new, supplementary perspective, in which the traces that leadership practices have left on school participants are revealed.

“…Analysis followed Moustakas's guidelines, which are a modification of van Kaam's method of analyzing phenomenological data (Moustakas, 1994). This method has been used in other studies and is useful by providing concise steps that enhance the rigor of the analysis process (Gilstrap, 2007;Liu, 2008).…”
