¶ … Grounded theory and phenomenology
Phenomenology and Grounded theory are the most widely recognized methodologies to qualitative research utilized by medical practitioners. Despite the fact that there are distinctions between the two, they have share much in common.
Both assume an interpretivist strategy in which the researcher tries to investigate genuine scenarios, and require a high level of face-to-face interaction between the researcher and the group or individual being analyzed. This is manifested in form of observations or interviews. Phenomenology and Grounded theory aim to gather and investigate information from participants' viewpoints and attempt to guarantee their feelings are not affected by preconceived ideas. For them to realize this, they include participants in data analysis to expand the validity of the findings frequently. In short, Phenomenology and Grounded theory both look to investigate people's encounters in the setting of the world in which they live (Cassell & Symon, 2009).
Since both methodologies have much in common, it is challenging to draw a distinction between the two. The difference may not be imperative for those pursuing qualitative research but those seeking the endeavor. First, it is advisable to pursue the differences by looking at the philosophical...
It seeks to explore and describe experiences that can just be carried out by gathering information from people who have survived those encounters. Subsequently phenomenologists regularly allude to the "existing experience" and information is frequently restricted to interviews. Similarly, results are reported as a rich description of the experience drawing on aspects established through data analysis (Boswell & Cannon, 2014).
Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss initially portrayed grounded theory advanced in human science as a qualitative methodological approach. The goal was to create a "grounded hypothesis" to explain and describe the phenomenon under study. Unlike phenomenologists, grounded theorists try to incorporate all information sources that may boost theory development. Interviews are utilized although they may incorporate research, past literature, images, diaries, and observations. Utilizing a method defined as 'constant comparison', they contrast all the information gathered and all other information search for conflicting cases, which may challenge the rising theory will eventually fortify it.…

Social Theory in the View of Phenomenology: Alfred Schutz Who was Alfred Schutz, and why was his work on social theory and phenomenology so important? This is an important question that must be answered here, and will be answered, but there are other issues that must be examined as well. It is important to have an understanding of social theory and an understanding of phenomenology before Schutz is discussed too
Nursing Theory: A Microscopic Perspective on the Theory-Practice Gap Jerniganm A paradigm in nursing theory exists today that equates nursing theory to a mirror, a microscope or a telescope. Meleis talks about this equation of nursing theory to a mirror, microscope, or telescope (2007). According to Meleis nursing theory that is like a mirror will reflect reality, but give it different shapes. Nursing theory that is like a microscope will focus in
Phenomenology and Grounded Theory Approaches Both phenomenology and grounded theory are commonly used approaches to qualitative research in the social sciences. While grounded theory and phenomenology can sometimes be used simultaneously in ways that “slur” or “blur” the distinction between multiple qualitative methods, researchers in education should ultimately focus their attention on the best method for exploring single, focused research questions and their real-world applications (Baker, Wuest, & Stern, 1992, p.
Introduction Qualitative research designs assume many forms, and the usefulness of each depends on the research questions and the theoretical vantage point of the researcher. Five of the main approaches to qualitative research design include narrative research, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, and case studies (Creswell & Poth, 2018). This paper will focus exclusively on two of those qualitative research designs, grounded theory and ethnography, to showcase the strengths and weaknesses of
Hermeneutics Phenomenology and Hermeneutics Aside from positivism or quantitative research paradigm, two other paradigms are considered essential in the conduct of research or simply, knowing and understanding a particular event or phenomenon using a particular 'lens'or paradigm / perspective. These two (2) paradigms are qualitative in nature, namely the interpretive and critical paradigms. Critical paradigm is closely associated with the Marxist, feminist, and psychoanalytic schools of thought, while interpretive or symbolic
grounded theory and phenomenology differ in how the data is treated (Creswell, Hanson, Plano, and Morales, 2007, p. 248-255). While both collect information from a large number of participants, grounded theory results in the development of a theoretical model based on the data. This model is then tested for its ability to predict a specific outcome. By comparison, researchers using a phenomenological approach try to identify common experiences among
