another professional to check research protocols and give feedback

19

21
Q

Grounded Theory

A
  1. most commonly used approach
  2. inductive method
  3. three steps
22
Q

Three Steps of Grounded Theory

A
  1. open coding
  2. axial coding
  3. core category
23
Q

Key to grounded theory

A

constant comparison

24
Q

constant comparison

A

constantly comparing each new element of the data with all previous elements that have been coded in order to establish and refine categories

25
Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR)
1. inductive | 2. team of researchers arrive at data meaning
26
Three Steps of CQR
1. code intro domains 2. core ideas within domains 3. cross-analysis
27
Code intro domains
segmenting data
28
core ideas within domains
short summaries that reduces original ideas into fewer words
29
cross-analysis
core ideas are grouped into categories based on similarities
30
External Stability Check
by examining data in addition to transcripts
31
Internal stability (3 parameters)
1. general (all participants) 2. typical (half or more) 3. variant (less than half)
