  1. “Grounded Theory:What's it good for?”

  2. A clear picture of Grounded Theory; purpose, methodology, outcome. • Relevant examples of doing Grounded Theory; • The joys of discovery • The challenges of “getting it right”. • Your input is welcome and essential; this helps with relevance. • Voice your questions and concerns about GT. • Hecklers welcome . “Grounded Theory:What's it good for?”

  4. Tapping and Listening* 50.0 % 2.5 % *Newton, E. (1990). Overconfidence in the communication of intent: Heard and unheard melodies (PhD thesis: Stanford University, Stanford, CA).

  5. Humility Really? I hadn't thought of that! What do you think? That’s it! It really fits! What do I have to unlearn?

  6. Our Goal What types of questions/problems are best answered using Grounded Theory The goal of Grounded Theory is finding out what’s going on in the data.

  7. GT Conventions Methodology - Grounded Theory (GT)“how to” (not method, but methodology) theory generated - grounded theory (gt)“goal”

  8. Introduction Two aspects of Grounded Theory are key: • What is the main concern? • How this main concern is being resolved? Developing these two facets of the research is, in effect, the Grounded Theory.

  9. Applications Illustrations demonstrate“What Grounded Theory is good for”. Some examples are: • Generating a grounded theory of learning Grounded Theory • Barriers to Knowledge Transfer and Improving Delirium Outcomes • Evaluating GT books

  10. GT is … Train with slogans ConceptualizationandEmergence

  11. The GT package – Core Concepts Constant comparison Memoing All is data Trusting to emergence Letting go of preconceptions Main concern and core variable emerge from the data Interchangeability of indicators

  12. The GT package –Sub-Core Concepts • Simultaneously collecting and analyzing data • Theoretical … • Sensitivity • Coding • Sampling • Saturation

  13. The gt product – Core Concepts • Pattern - Conceptual and Emergent • Relevant • Grabs • Fits • Works • Modifiable (Applicable to get to Modifiable) • Abstract; • Transcending people, place, and time
