Question

What are the steps to using grounded theory in research? Explain in detail

Answer 1

Ans) Grounded theory:

- Theory is built from the ground up through the examination of multiple instances of an idea or case.

- Steps of Grounded Theory in research:

1) coding the data,
2) customizing the Code System,
3) category building with Creative Coding, and
4) constructing theories with MAXMaps.

- These steps facilitate an analysis process that gives the researcher the freedom to construct new theories instead of simply collecting data to test how well an established theory applies to the social phenomena they are studying. However, the freedom that grounded theory gives to the researcher may also be one of its biggest challenges when it is put into practice.
