Grounded theory methodology procedures and techniques WSE-PS-GTMPT
Lecture, apart from the history of GTM focus on the most important methods and techniques - open, focused and theoretical coding, continuous comparison method and memo writing techniques. To pass the subject, students will have to prepare a project according to the methodology of grounded theory based on the knowledge obtained during the lectures
We concentrate on a following subjects:
1. History and development of grounded theory methodology
2. Classical GTM
3. GTM by Anslem Strauss and Juliet Corbin
4. Constructing grounded theory- Kathy Charmaz
5. Grounded theorising and situational analysis Adele Clarke
6. GTM methods and techniques
7. Data collection and generation
8. GTM analysis- coding, memo writing
9. 3 stages of coding
10. Writing and presenting GTM
11. Visual grounded theory and visual data in GTM
12. GTM project planning
13. GTM- examples of projects. Students' presentation
14. GTM- examples of projects. Students' presentation
15. GTM- examples of projects. Students' presentation
