3.Collect data using the research methods that are most appropriate for the subject you are studying. 4. Categorize and code your data. If you're conducting interviews, this will require careful reading of interview notes and transcripts to note important patterns and themes. 5. Write memos that connect the themes and patterns you have observed as you categorize the data. Memo writing is the step in which you begin to articulate the theory you will present in your report.
6. Review the research literature in your field of interest and consider how the previous studies fit into the theory you will articulate in your grounded theory report. 7. Draft an outline of your report, using the completed memos as a guide. After doing this, write an analytical report that articulates your theory.
Axial coding is a process in which data are put back together in new ways after open coding by making connection between categories Selective coding is the process of integrating and refining the theory
2. The Emerging Design stresses the importance of comparing and connection categories and emerging theories from the data collected, allowing the research to develop a theory and discuss the relationships between categories In emerging grounded theory approach, the procedure is to generate categories by examining the data, refining the categories into fewer and fewer categorie, comparing data with emerging categories, and writing a theory of several processes involved.
3. The Constructivist Design This form of research design focuses on the importance of meanings individuals attribute to the focus of the study. Applying active codes, the researcher looks at the participants thoughts, feelings, stances, viewpoints, assertions etc. and places this information into categories during the data collection. Furthermore, this techniques allows the research bring some of their own views, beliefs, values, feelings, assumptions, questions to the data and ideologies of individuals than in gathering facts and describing acts. In applying this approach, a grounded theorist explains the feelings of individuals as they experience a phenomenon or process.
Constant comparison is an inductive (from specific to broad) data analysis procedure in grouded theory research of generating and connecting categories by comparing incidents in the data to other incidents, incidents to categories, and categories to other categories. In this process, the grounded therist ask question of the data. What is the data study of? What category or what property of what category does this incident indicate? What is actually happening in the data?
a core category After identifying several categories, the researcher selects a core category as the basis of writing the theory. The researcher makes this selection based on several factors, such as its relationship to other categories, its frequency of occurrence, its quick and easy saturation, and its clear implications for development of theory
Theory Generation This theory in grounded theory research is an abstract explanation or understanding of a process about a substantive topic grounded in the data. Consider how grounded theory actually present their theory in three possible ways: as a visual coding paradigm, as a series of propositions (hypotheses), or as a story written in narrative form.
Memos In memos the researcher explores hunches, ideas, and thoughts, then take them apart, always searching for the broader explanations at work in the process. Memos help direct the inquirer toward new sources of data, shape which ideas to develop further, and prevent paralysis from mountain of data. However, grounded theory studies do not often report memoing
