Corbin and Strauss (1990) say that “Grounded theorists share a conviction with many other qualitative researchers that the usual canons of ‘good science’ should be retained, but require redefinition in order to fit the realities of qualitative research and the complexities of social phenomena,” (p.4).They suggest that the canons of science need to be re-evaluated. Corbin and Strauss mention two principles in grounded theory, Pragmatism and Symbolic Interactionism: “The first principle pertains to change.
Since phenomena are not conceived of as static but as continually changing in response to evolving conditions, an important component of the method is to build change, through process, into the method. The second principle pertains to a clear stand on the issue of ‘determinism.’ Strict determinism is rejected, as is non-determinism. In other words, grounded theory needs to include change into the method; it needs to understand and accept the idea of process. References: Like this: Grounded theory.

Emergence The Grounded Theory approach was first articulated by Glaser & Strauss in their 1967 book The Discovery of Grounded Theory. This book was written at a time when researchers in sociology were questioning the assumptions of positivism. In many ways, this book can be read and understood as a response to positivistic approaches in sociology. In fact, one of the goals of this book was to provide a 'legitimate' approach for doing qualitative research. Glaser and Strasss articulate an empirical approach for developing theory.
At the time, much of theory development was done a priori - before collecting and analyzing data. Defined Grounded Theory is an approach for developing theory that is "grounded in data systematically gathered and analyzed" (Strauss & Corbin, 1994).

Grounded theory is: a research method that will enable you to:develop a theory whichoffers and explanation aboutthe main concern of the population of your substantive area andhow that concern is resolved or processed. For example in my PhD study, the main concern of online learners is finding the time to study and temporal integration is the core category which explains how the concern is resolved or processed.
Different types of learners employ different strategies: Jugglers and Strugglers employ successful temporal integration strategies which enable them to study (with more or less pain), whilst Fade-aways and Leavers are unsuccessful and fail to complete the programme. Understanding how temporal integration does or does not happen has implications for learning design and learner persistence. For the nurses of Nathanial’s study, their main concern was moral distress and the core category which processed their concern was moral reckoning. How do you do grounded theory? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Cheri Ann Hernandez, RN, Ph.D., CDE Abstract Grounded theory is an inductive research method for the generation of substantive or formal theory, using qualitative or quantitative data generated from research interviews, observation, or written sources, or some combination thereof (Glaser & Strauss, 1967). In recent years there has been much controversy over the etiology of its discovery, as well as, the exact way in which grounded theory research is to be operationalized. Unfortunately, this situation has resulted in much confusion, particularly among novice researchers who wish to utilize this research method. Development History of Grounded Theory Methodology Most authors situate the beginning of grounded theory methodology with the publication of the 1967 book, Discovery of Grounded Theory.
In 1978, Glaser published Theoretical Sensitivity, considered by many to be the “bible” of grounded theory. Philosophical and Methodological Underpinnings Symbolic Interactionism Author: References. Literature Review and Constructivist Grounded Theory Methodology | Ramalho. Volume 16, No. 3, Art. 19 – September 2015 Literature Review and Constructivist Grounded Theory Methodology Rodrigo Ramalho, Peter Adams, Peter Huggard & Karen Hoare Abstract: In grounded theory research it is commonly discouraged to conduct a literature review before data collection and analysis. Engaging with the literature about the researched area in that stage of the research is described as a constraining exercise rather than a guiding one. This can be a puzzling notion for the researcher engaging with grounded theory methodology (GTM), particularly when she/he is expected to produce a literature review in early stages of the research process, e.g., by ethics committees and/or funding bodies.
The current article examines this controversial issue by exploring the different stances taken on the subject by the founders of the methodology, as well as the one introduced by constructivist GTM.

Grounded Theory as a General Research Methodology | Grounded Theory Review. Judith A. Holton, Ph.D. Abstract Since its inception over forty years ago, grounded theory has achieved canonical status in the research world (Locke, 2001, p.1). Qualitative researchers, in particular, have embraced grounded theory although often without sufficient scholarship in the methodology (Partington, 2000, p.93; 2002, p.136).
The embrace renders many researchers unable to perceive grounded theory as a general methodology and an alternative to the dominant qualitative and quantitative research paradigms. Origins of the Methodology Grounded theory originated in the mid-1960s with the groundbreaking work in medical sociology of Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss (Glaser & Strauss, 1965, 1970, 1971, 1974, 1975) and the subsequent publication of The Discovery of Grounded Theory, (Glaser & Strauss, 1967).
The well documented schism in the collaboration between Glaser and Strauss occurred with the publication of Basics of Qualitative Research (Strauss & Corbin, 1990). Getting Started. "Maternal Postpartum Role Collapse as a Theory of Postpartum Depression" by Linda Clark Amankwaa. Abstract The purpose of this paper is to discuss the development of a theory of maternal postpartum role collapse.
The influences of traditional role theory and symbolic interactionism are presented. The development of the maternal postpartum role collapse theory emerged from the study of postpartum depression among African-American women (Amankwaa, 2000). Major components of the theory of postpartum maternal role collapse consist of role stress, role strain, and finally role collapse.

"Studying Human-Centered IT Innovation Using a Grounded Action Learning" by David J. Pauleen and Pak Yoong. Abstract This paper describes how two research methodologies, grounded theory and action learning, were combined to produce a rigorous yet creative and flexible method for field study of a recent IT-based innovation, virtual teams.
Essentially, an action learning program was used to train facilitators of virtual teams and generate research data while grounded theory techniques were used to analyze and interpret the data. This paper shows how this combined method can be used to develop local and practical theory for complex, human-centered areas of information technology. The implications of this grounded action learning approach for practice and research in IS will be discussed.

"Grounded Theory Methodology: Positivism, Hermeneutics, and Pragmatism" by Lars-Johan Age. Abstract Glaserian grounded theory methodology, which has been widely adopted as a scientific methodology in recent decades, has been variously characterised as "hermeneutic" and "positivist. " This commentary therefore takes a different approach to characterising grounded theory by undertaking a comprehensive analysis of: (a) the philosophical paradigms of positivism, hermeneutics, and pragmatism; and (b) the general philosophical questions of the aims of science and the issue of choosing a scientific methodology.
The commentary then seeks to position grounded theory methodology in terms of these philosophical perspectives. The study concludes that grounded theory methodology contains elements of positivism, hermeneutics, and pragmatism. In coming to this conclusion, the study clarifies the degree to which these three perspectives are found within Glaserian grounded theory methodology.

Crossetti, Marta G. Goes et al. Abstract Grounded Theory is a qualitative research method for collecting and analysing data and results into a substantive theory that is a theoretical interpretation of a delimited problem in a specific area of knowledge. In nursing, it allows to understand the process of social interaction and how the nursing team works in everyday situations.
In this study we propose, based on the theoretical framework of Kathy Charmaz, to present the procedures for the application of the constructivist Grounded Theory in nursing research. Among these are the collection and analysis of concurrent data, constant comparison at all levels of analysis, initial, focused and axial coding, conducting memos, among other resources, construction of categories, evaluation and development of the theory.

"Africans in pursuit of a theological doctorate: A grounded theory stu" by Richard Lee Starcher. Richard Lee Starcher, University of Nebraska - Lincoln Abstract Within the milieu of higher theological education in Africa there is a great demand for highly educated nationals to staff a growing number of theological colleges and seminaries. Due largely to a dearth of other opportunities, Africans desiring theological doctorates have pursued higher studies in Europe and North America. The same pattern is common in other non-Western contexts. However, this practice is perceived as producing certain undesirable “side-effects” (e.g., brain-drain, reintegration difficulties, contextually inappropriate training). ^ Theological graduate schools in numerous non-Western settings (e.g., Latin America, Korea, India, and Singapore) are launching doctoral programs.
