I am conducting a study about the lived experiences of parents in home learning specifically modular learning. We followed the transcendental phenomenology of Moustakas. Is there also a specific validity and reliability procedure in this kind of research and proponent? Thank you.
I do not know about Moustakas' approach, but the concepts of validity and reliability are often controversial in qualitative research in general and phenomenology in particular. The issue is that the concepts of validity and reliability come from qualitative research, and may have limited value in understanding the quality of qualitative research, let alone in-depth accounts of lived experience.
Can you say more about what you are asking this question?
Prof. David Morgan wrote, "the concepts of validity and reliability come from qualitative research." I would consider it a typo. He meant the concepts come from quantitative research. In qualitative research, there are the concepts of credibility, dependability, and transferability. The attachment could provide you with a relevant guide. It should be cited as follows.

Best,
