Intellectual Autonomy of PhD Researchers who use the Grounded Theory Methodology
Main Article Content
Abstract
The decision to choose the grounded theory methodology (GT) for one’s PhD research should never be done lightly, as outlined in Glaser (2015). The emergence of a researcher’s own intellectual autonomy is often of more importance than the research itself. Intellectual autonomy can be fostered perpetually and spasmodically.
