In this blog post, we briefly discuss how to structure grounded theory research design with some hypothetical examples from different disciplines such as Education, Psychology and Nursing.
While grounded theory is all about letting the data guide the development of your own theory, there are some existing theories that can be helpful as a starting point or reference point for your research. In this blog post we discuss some of the existing theories which can be used in grounded research studies.
In this article, I want to share my personal experience and insight with the novice PhD students, research scholars and doctoral candidates who are struggling while envisaging their theoretical or conceptual frameworks. Some more examples of the theoretical and conceptual frameworks shall be discussed in the next blog post.
This blog post discusses at length the key concepts concerning grounded theory research studies with a focus on its thoughtful selection, guiding researchers through the nuanced process of aligning theoretical engagement with their research questions and fostering an environment where emergent grounded theories can flourish.
This blog post explains the key concepts concerning theoretical or conceptual frameworks embracing mainly the following areas:
1. What is a theoretical framework?
2. Importance of a theoretical framework in qualitative research
3. How to write a theoretical framework?
4. Difference between Conceptual and Theoretical Framework
5. How to make selection of a theoretical framework for a research study?
6. Important points need consideration while writing a theoretical framework for qualitative research
