What the term means: Theoretical Frameworks include Grounded Theory. “Grounded Theory is an approach to qualitative data analysis that aims to develop theory from the systematic analysis and interpretation of empirical data” (Preece, Rogers & Sharp, 2015, p.303). The purpose of grounded theory is to set a collected data

Reflection on the Topic

1. There are steps of taking the interviews such as through questionnaires and observations. The interviews could be taking using audio recordings. Interviewer notes, or video recordings. Questionnaires are the written responses and online database. For observations, photographs, audio and videos recordings, data logs could be used. Also, mean, median, and mode data is used to present a chart. It could be used to compare the data with one and other.

2. “Grounded theory is a research tool which enables you to seek out and conceptualize the latent social patterns and structures of your area of interest through the process of constant comparison. Initially you will use an inductive approach to generate substantive codes from your data, later your developing theory will suggest to you where to go next to collect data and which, more-focused, questions to ask”(groundedtheoryonline.com).

3. This video gives a very good explanation of the grounded theory. It briefly explains what it is and the importance of it.

My Thought:

“Data analysis uses many different kinds of data collect them. It uses many charts to compare the participants answers. The data helps the reader to compare and contrast between people’s opinion on something. (Firdous Ghani, 2019)
