Classic Grounded Theory Common Misunderstandings and Confusions
Main Article Content
Abstract
Grounded Theory continues to be the most widely used methodology in qualitative research. Although it is based on what people do naturally (to act habitually and a tendency to theorise), it can be confusing for those new to the methodology, particularly Classic Grounded Theory. This is usually but not limited to the use of the literature, coding, theoretical sampling, the commonly held view by those using constructivist GT that CGT is objective in nature and theoretical coding.
