Interventions And Implementation Of Developed By Corbin & Strauss (1990)

The raw data from the interview transcript and survey form were analyzed using the grounded theory approach developed by Corbin & Strauss (1990). The initial coding began after reading the entire interview transcript two times. Following this step, the data was deconstructed line-by- line and codes were assigned to the concepts and processes that these lines represented. Once the entire document was coded, the document was reviewed again with the aim to converge or diverge the data using a logical analysis matrix (Patton, 2015). During this process, the dimensions for each category were also identified.
Once the categories were identified, the relationship among these categories was established using the axial coding procedure. This process …show more content…
These subcategories reflected different types of integrated interventions and the situation specific and diverse nature of the process of implementation. The integration into classroom category included subcategories that indicated acceptance of the intervention in the classroom. The dimensions of the category included acceptance as a class, as a child and as a teacher who made the final decision. The catalysts category consisted of factors that influenced the implementation and outcome of the intervention namely education/ rationale and collaboration. The education and rational explanation included children and teacher-occupational therapists as dimensions reflecting that explanation of rationale influenced the teacher’s and children’s attitude and consequently the process of implementation and outcomes and integration of the intervention in the classroom. The category of interdependence reflected “if –then” relationship between the intervention and its acceptance and the teacher’s willingness to …show more content…
The teacher’s perception of the integrated therapies was a combination of the impact of the intervention in the classroom and the teacher’s sense of control in the classroom. The combination of the cost vs. the benefits of the intervention and children related factors influenced the impact of the intervention in the classroom. Overall, the teacher perceived integrated therapies as beneficial. However, the teacher’s perception of cost and benefits ratio was crucial in considering the intervention as beneficial. The teacher’s statement about the intervention reflects the cost vs. benefits of the
