00:00:02 MEDEL CABALSA Hi, everyone. I’m Medel Cabalsa, and let’s start the Fundamentals of Phenomenological Research. Here are the following objectives: Define the phenomenological research. Determine the origin of phenomenological research. State the purpose of phenomenological approach. Identify the process of phenomenological methods. And explain characterization of types of experience. 00:00:31 Let’s first define what […]

[00:00:09] GIBBS: Well, as I said at the beginning, grounded theory is a very popular approach. And for that reason, if no other, there are lots of different versions of grounded theory. And I’ve mentioned some of these names as I go through that’s just to recap them. [00:00:23] Glaser and Strauss, Barney Glaser and

[00:00:09] GIBBS: Well, I thought I’d talk now about some of the ways of actually doing this open coding. And of course, the coding we did a couple weeks ago, just simply reading through the text and marking bits of text with brackets in the side or circling things and so on, underlining words, highlighting,

[0:00:07] So after open coding and after axial coding, we have a third stage in Strauss and Corbin’s grounded theory and that is selective coding. And the idea here is to try to select, identify particular categories or codes that form some kind of core, some kind of essential activity, essential kind of concept which

[0:00:06] Okay, so that’s the first stage that Strauss & Corbin talk about when you’re doing grounded theory, the open coding stage. And you would normally go through all of the text you’ve got and code them up in that kind of fashion. So you’ve now got a completely coded set of data by this

Another suggestion they make, and this also comes out — similar kinds of ideas come out from Charmaz as well is, this questioning approach, questioning — asking questions. As you read the text, you start saying to yourself the “W” words, who, when, where, what, a couple of “H” words, how, how much and so

It is a categorizing of the data, in fact, I think I said in an earlier session, that I was quite kind of easygoing about the use of the terms, like code and index and category and so on, I use them interchangeably and I do use them interchangeably. In Grounded Theory, the term category

I said I’d come out to Constant Comparison, what is it? Constant comparison is a way of maintaining a connection between the codes you’ve got and the data looking at. So the codes the ideas that you’re developing about what is happening in the text, what’s going on in the text and the data itself,

Okay, I mentioned about the sequence of stages. Here’s the kind of the approach taken by Strauss and Corbin, and I said, they are probably the most, I think the best one, the bestselling books on Grounded Theory. I guess the other one that’s selling quite well now, I think is Kathy Charmaz, as I’ll

What are the core elements and I'll go back to talk about some of these terms in a bit more detail in the moment. But here's the core elements. Inquiry is shaped by the aim to discover social and psychological processes. And I have to say, I mean, that's what Glaser and Strauss say, but
