Grounded theory research

When do you use grounded theory?

• When performing controlled experiments.

• When you wish to study some process

• In quantitative studies.

• When conducting literature reviews.

Which of these options is part of the key characteristics of grounded theory research?

• Cross-sectional design

• Statistical significance testing.

• Memas

• Theory generation

What are the key characteristics of a ground theory?

• A process approach, theoretical sampling, constant comparative data analysis, a core category, theory generation and memos

• A procedural approach, theoretical sampling, continuous comparative analysis, a core concept, theory development, and memos

• An approach, theoretical selection, continuous comparison data analysis, a central category, theory creation, comprehensive notes, and detailed observations.

• A systematic approach, theoretical sampling, consistent comparative data analysis, a central theme, theory formulation, and memos.

According to Creswell’s (2012) book, how many types of ground theory design can be found?

• 2

• 3

• 4

• 5

How does grounded theory differ from other qualitative research approaches?

• Inductive Approach and Theoretical Generation.

• Static Analysis and Predefined Coding.

• Deductive Approach and Theoretical Confirmation.

• Random Sampling and Preset Theories.

What challenges might researchers face when applying grounded theory, and how can these challenges be addressed?

• Efficiently handling large amounts of data requires deciphering data through tarot card readings and crystal ball gazing

• Theoretical saturation is addressed by wearing theory-soaked sponges on the head during interviews.

• Balancing inductive and deductive approaches is crucial for maintaining theoretical saturation.

• Issues with researcher bias, data saturation, and managing large datasets. Addressing these involves reflexivity, continued sampling, and systematic analysis.

True or false?

The steps involved in conducting a grounded theory study are: to start with the intent to develop a theory, to locate a process to study, to obtain necessary approvals, to sample individuals who have experienced the process, to code data into meanings and graphics , and to interrelate the categories to form a theory.

• True

• False

• To code data into meanings and graphics

• To interrelate the categories to form a theory

• To locate a process to study

According to cote december 3 (monday class) what does the word grounded refer to?

• Experiences and ideas

• Knowledge

• Self reflection

• Frecuency in relationships
