%X In an era dominated by technological advancement and standardization, phenomenology offers crucial insights into teacher and learner experiences. This book explores how phenomenological perspectives can transform educational understanding, particularly in African contexts. The contributors examine phenomenology’s intersection with various educational dimensions, from music to artificial intelligence. Moving beyond empiricist-rationalist frameworks, they illuminate lived experiences in educational settings, revealing hidden classroom dynamics and offering fresh perspectives on challenges. The work combines theory with practice, addressing positionality, AI’s impact, and institutional transformation, with a focus on African education’s unique challenges. It reconceptualizes education as an ‘act of care’ while acknowledging historical influences and proposing pathways to transformation This accessible text bridges philosophical depth with practical insights for teachers, postgraduate students and researchers, contributing to global discourse on authenticity and technology in education.
