    Study Notes

    Grounded Theory

    • Goal is to generate a theory that is grounded in data from participants who have experienced the process
    • Researchers do not begin with a theory, but rather allow relevant data to emerge from the area of study
    • Data is collected primarily through one-on-one interviews, focus group interviews, and participant observation

    Narrative Research

    • Study of the life experiences of an individual as told to the researcher or found in documents and archival material
    • Participant recalls one or more special events (an "epiphany") in their life
    • Involves analyzing data to develop stories and themes, often using life chronology

    Case Study

    • Focuses on the study of a case, which can be an individual, department, company, program, event, activity, or ongoing process
    • Case study researchers collect data through interviews, observations, and documents
    • Analyze data to develop a theory, illustrated in a figure, and generate stories about the case

    Phenomenological Study

    • Seeks to identify, understand, and describe the commonalities of human perception and interpretation of similar experiences
    • Focuses on the "essence" or essential characteristic(s) of an experience
    • Examples of topics include the experiences of students, teachers, and nurses in specific situations
    • Researchers interview individuals in-depth to gain personal insights into the phenomenon being studied
    • Aims to understand and describe the experience as it appears to the participants
