Grounded Theory
This is the type of educational research grounded theory applies to.
Qualitative Research
This design within grounded theory is composed of three stages of coding.
What is systematic design?
Notes that the researcher writes throughout the research process, to elaborate on ideas about the data and coded categories.
What is Memos?
Grounded theorists proceed through systematic procedures of collecting data, identifying categories, connecting these categories, and forming __________________________________.
What is a theory that explains the process?
This is the initial stage of forming emergent theories.
What is Open Coding?
A sequence of actions and interactions among people and events pertaining to a topic.
What is a Process Approach?
The theory is grounded in the data.
What is the reason why it is called Grounded Theory?
In this coding stage, the hypothetic relationship between the major categories and their subcategories are built.
What is Axial Coding?
From among the major categories derived from the data, the theorists selects a ______ ______ as the central phenomenon for the theory. This is the center or main theme of the process.
What is a Core Category?
You use grounded theory when you need a broad theory or explanation.
When do you use Grounded Theory?
Data analysis is the core component in this research design.
What is the Emerging Design?
This characteristic is involved by using a zig-zag data collection, in which the researcher analyzes the data after the first interview, rather than waiting until all interviews are finished.
What is Theoretical Sampling?
Two sociologists Glasser and Strauss developed GT in late 1960. They developed a pioneering book called The Discovery of Grounded Theory.
How did Grounded Theory develop?
This design gives a new interaction between researchers and participants.
What is Constructivist Design?
This is an inductive data analysis procedure of generating and connecting categories by comparing incidents in the data to other incidents, incidents to categories, and categories to other categories.
