The author reports on her experience as an adviser in studies carried out according to the methodology of a phenomenological investigation. This experience involves advising processes at several levels: scientific initiation, scientific training, master's and doctorate. The phases of investigation of this type are discussed, with emphasis on the critical and decisive points along the methodological pathway. Emphasis is placed on the importance of a significant investment in the search for an in-depth understanding of the principles of phenomenology on the part of researchers, so that the study to be performed will be conducted in a serious, rigorous and appropriated manner, thus effectively generating new knowledge.
