Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to show the possibility of application of the phenomenological-hermeneutic method in pedagogical research of upbringing reality. In the first part of the text the synthetic description of phenomenological and hermeneutic research procedure used in pedagogics was presented. Then, in the context of practical implementation of pedagogical research in the phenomenological-hermeneutic paradigm as the most general way of its application a case study method was proposed. The specificity of presented methodological orientation suggests the need for using adequate data processing techniques. Therefore use of Mdified method of Analysis of Phenomenological Data by Van Kaam was proposed. Description of this technique was preceded by a description of cenversation, understood not as a research technique, but as a way of organizing the data collection stage. In the last part of text opportunities and constraints resulting from the application of this method in pedagogical research were isolated.
