Grounded theory

Explain the types of qualitative research There are many types of qualitative research studies, but the six most common types of qualitative research studies are phenomenology, ethnography, grounded theory, historical, case studies and action research. The following explains the top six qualitative research studies: • Phenomenology studies examine human experiences through the descriptions that are provided by the people involved (Nieswiadomy, 2012). In phenomenology studies, researchers must…

(p. 27-28). The type of qualitative research study was a combination of three different qualitative methods. These qualitative methods described by MacMillan (2016) are: “ethnographic studies” (p. 311), “phenomenological studies” (p. 317) and “grounded theory studies” (p. 318). Vetter (2012) participated in an “ethnographic study” (MacMillan, 2016, p. 311) because she was working with two distinct cultures in her school. Although they may have been of similar ethnic…

start analyzing. In this way, I will not only find ways of collecting new and better data, but also start thinking about the existing data. My theoretical framework to analyze this data is Grounded Theory, which utilizes inductive sorting, and that allows the researcher to use data itself to make ideas theories (Galman, 2013). In order to reach most meaningful material, I will code each transcript by hand on the Microsoft Word`s Comment feature, which is under the Review tap. I will look at…

A qualitative methodology was employed to provide descriptive information about families’ decision-making experiences, with both phenomenological and grounded theory approaches used to examine data generated through semi structured interviews. Both the descriptive and summative information provide a framework for understanding and integrating the complex factors that shape family experiences throughout the decision-making process. The results reflect a family-centered view of the process of…

Introduction Methodology includes the practices, procedures, rules, actions, strategies, and design applied by the researcher. Creswell states that qualitative research begins with assumptions, a worldview, the possible use of a theoretical lens, and the study of research problems inquiring into the meaning individuals or groups ascribe to the social or human problem. The study ends with the presentation of a complex description and interpretation of the problem, reflecting the voices of the…

(Frank & Polkinghorne, 2010). It aims to develop theories based on reality that are confirmed through the collection and analyse of the data. (Smith & Davis 2015). Stanley and Cheek (2014) suggest that as a profession occupational therapy would benefit from the use of grounded theory to develop theories grounded in practice, as theories that are currently being use come from other professions. While this research question is suited to a grounded theory approach of both data collection and…

where these situations occur in my expanded timeline. (figure 3 page 50) I continue on now to explain my methodology, which I describe in two parts as the research methods, used where somewhat different in each emerging into a ‘living educational theory’. Emerging methodology Research Paradigm part one The research method in respect of part one of this study is autoethnography—a qualitative approach with the potential of practitioners to “gain profound understanding of self and others” in a…

Interviews were selected as the most pertinent means of gathering data from the participants, as insights, opinions and feelings were sought, and these could not effectively be captured by questionnaires (Denscombe 2007). Constructivist grounded theory's epistemological underpinnings emphasised the interactive relationship between myself, as researcher, and the participants in the research process, and bring the centrality of the researcher to the methodological forefront (Mills et al 2006b).…

Grounded theory is a method used in health practice to know how participant cope with chronic or new health concerns, instead of using hypothesis or reviewing a similar research result to arrive at a conclusion(Nieswiadomy, 2012). This theory will helps the researchers to observe emotions of the participant who is nurse during the interviews since the study was aimed…
