Description
Summary:This dataset is designed for teaching Charmazian grounded theory, named after the sociologist, Kathy Charmaz. Grounded theory is designed to build theory from the "ground" up rather than addressing a research question a particular theory already in mind. The data are from the Southern Oral History Program (1999) in the U.S., and the example provides illustrations of open coding and focused coding, particular approaches to condensing data into increasingly abstract topics. Charmazian grounded theory invokes constructivism. As Charmaz uses the term, constructivism is a paradigmatic approach that sees knowledge as a perpetual construction between researcher and participant rather than as a truth "out there" that we can objectively measure. The dataset files are accompanied by a Teaching Guide and a Student Guide.
