HumilityReally? I hadn't thought of that!
What do you think?
That’s it! It really fits!
What do I have to unlearn?
Our GoalWhat types of questions/problems are
best answered using Grounded Theory
The goal of Grounded Theory is finding out what’s going on in the data.
GT ConventionsMethodology - Grounded Theory (GT)
“how to”(not method, but methodology)
theory generated - grounded theory (gt)“goal”
IntroductionTwo aspects of Grounded Theory are
key:• What is the main concern?• How this main concern is being
resolved?Developing these two facets of the
research is, in effect, the Grounded Theory.
ApplicationsIllustrations demonstrate
“What Grounded Theory is good for”. Some examples are:• Generating a grounded theory of
learning Grounded Theory• Barriers to Knowledge Transfer and
Improving Delirium Outcomes• Evaluating GT books
