Who are Glaser and Strauss?
These are the 2 founders of Grounded Theory.
|
What are questions in Grounded Theory?
These aim to discover emergent ideas or connections and are always open-ended.
|
What is the Constant Comparative Method?
The continual process of sorting and resorting, and coding and recoding of data for emergent categories of meaning.
|
What are qualitative and quantitative research?
The two types of methods (or categories of research) can both be used in grounded theory.
|
|
What is constructivism?
Charmez added this concept to Grounded Theory.
|
What are strengths of Grounded Theory?
Some examples of these are:
Consistent with practice; Similar to therapist's approach; Versatile |
What is Coding?
The general term used to refer to analyzing the data in Grounded Theory.
|
What are the weaknesses of Grounded Theory?
Two examples of these are:
It is extremely time intensive; It is extremely labour intensive. |
|
What is non-positivism?
The term, according to the authors, which refers to the non-empirical, intuitive approach that is possible with Grounded Theory.
|
What is triangulation?
This technique refers to the use of multiple data sources to help ensure accuracy of findings.
|
What are Memos?
These help keep the researcher organized and clear in their work.
|
What is the definition of Grounded Theory?
According to Glaser and Strauss, it is "the discovery of theory from data systematically obtained from social research."
|
|
What is coding?
This was Strauss' important contribution to Grounded Theory.
|
What are credibility and trustworthiness?
These two terms are used to measure how "good" qualitative research is.
|
What is Open Coding?
The initial line-by-line search for categories, properties, actions or events within the data.
|
What is that the end goal is to generate a theory?
or What is that data collection and analysis happen simultaneously? or What is outcome and/or process?
This is one way that Grounded Theory differs from other methodologies.
|
|
What is the mid 1960s?
Grounded theory came to the fore in this time period.
|
What is theoretical sampling?
The term used to refer to the 'selective' approach by which sample groups are chosen.
|
What is Axial Coding?
The researcher's attempt to make connections between categories and subcategories.
|
What is saturation?
This term refers to the point where enough data has been analyzed that further data does not yield new findings.
