Present tense commentary: A qualitative research technique

Mitchell, Theresa

Abstract

This paper describes Present Tense Commentary (PTC) as a technique to gather rich data which satisfies the requirements of a hermeneutic phenomenological approach to research. Using PTC, the informant is encouraged to relive significant events by conveying them to the researcher as if they are happening now. © 1999 Harcourt Publishers Ltd.
