Grounded Theory by Natalie LaDuke https://padlet.com/natalieameier/ii0plmvt3azu8gv4 en-us 2021-07-08 19:57:14 UTC 2025-12-25 01:31:14 UTC hello@padlet.com Definition: https://padlet.com/natalieameier/ii0plmvt3azu8gv4/wish/1642506365 To move beyond description and to generate or discover a unified theoretical explanation, process or action. ]]> 2021-07-09 00:14:46 UTC https://padlet.com/natalieameier/ii0plmvt3azu8gv4/wish/1642506365 Characteristics: https://padlet.com/natalieameier/ii0plmvt3azu8gv4/wish/1642507812 - focuses on a process or action that has distinct steps or phases that occur over time.
- seeks to develop a theory of this process or action
-researcher writes down ideas as data are collected and analyzed.
- the primary form of data collection is often interviewing, constantly comparing data from participants with ideas about the emerging theory

2. The research questions will focus on understanding on how individuals experience the process and identify the steps in the process.
3. The analysis of the data proceeds in stages.
4. In selective coding, the researcher may write a (story line) that connects the categories.]]> 2021-07-09 00:21:41 UTC https://padlet.com/natalieameier/ii0plmvt3azu8gv4/wish/1642515679 https://padlet.com/natalieameier/ii0plmvt3azu8gv4/wish/1642523017 Cons 
If Grounded theory is done through the Corbin & Strauss (2007) perspective. The researcher must realize this is a systemic approach to research. Researcher needs to keep in mind that the result of this study is a theory with specific steps in data analysis. 
- The researcher faces the difficulty of determining when categories are saturated or when the theory is sufficiently detailed.

(adding to point 1)- The grounded theory is a good design to sue when another theory is not available to explain or understand the process. 
2. (adding to point 2)- the researcher can ask more detailed questions. ]]> 2021-07-09 00:37:11 UTC https://padlet.com/natalieameier/ii0plmvt3azu8gv4/wish/1642540995 A key idea is that this theory development does not come "off the shelf" but is generated in data from participants who experienced the process. It is shaped by the views of a large number of participants. https://padlet.com/natalieameier/ii0plmvt3azu8gv4/wish/1642542151 2021-07-09 00:37:53 UTC https://padlet.com/natalieameier/ii0plmvt3azu8gv4/wish/1642542151 https://padlet.com/natalieameier/ii0plmvt3azu8gv4/wish/1642552029 Grounded Theory is studying a process, action or interaction involving many individuals. ]]> 2021-07-09 00:44:07 UTC https://padlet.com/natalieameier/ii0plmvt3azu8gv4/wish/1642552029 https://padlet.com/natalieameier/ii0plmvt3azu8gv4/wish/1642556752 2021-07-09 00:47:08 UTC https://padlet.com/natalieameier/ii0plmvt3azu8gv4/wish/1642556752 https://padlet.com/natalieameier/ii0plmvt3azu8gv4/wish/1642561569 2021-07-09 00:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/natalieameier/ii0plmvt3azu8gv4/wish/1642561569 Link: https://padlet.com/natalieameier/ii0plmvt3azu8gv4/wish/1642569694 https://www.groundedtheoryonline.com/what-is-grounded-theory/]]> 2021-07-09 00:55:00 UTC https://padlet.com/natalieameier/ii0plmvt3azu8gv4/wish/1642569694
