  1. Chapter 14 Grounded Theory Designs Power Point Slides by Ronald J. Shope in collaboration with John W. Creswell

  2. Key Ideas • Defining Grounded Theory • When to use Grounded Theory • Key characteristics of Grounded Theory research • Conducting a grounded theory study • Evaluating a grounded theory study Educational Research 2e: Creswell

  3. What is grounded theory research? • A grounded theory design is a systematic, qualitative procedure used to generate a theory that explains, at a broad conceptual level, a process, an action, or interaction about a substantive topic. Educational Research 2e: Creswell

  4. When do you use grounded theory research? • To generate a theory rather than use one “off the shelf” • To explain a process, action, or interaction • When you want a step-by-step, systematic procedure • When you want to stay close to the data Educational Research 2e: Creswell

  5. Key characteristics of grounded theory designs • A process approach • Theoretical sampling • Constant comparative data analysis • A core category • Theory generation • Memos Educational Research 2e: Creswell

  6. A process and categories within the flow of research in Grounded Theory The research problem leads to A study of a central phenomenon in grounded theory research questions That addresses a process Which contains - a sequence of activities - including actions by people - including interactions by people Which a grounded theorist begins to understand by developing - categories - relating categories - developing a theory that explains Educational Research 2e: Creswell
