RES 3030 - Grounded Theory Research

Grounded theory is a research method used to develop theory grounded in data that is practical to real world applications. This course provides students with an in-depth study of grounded theory research and the practical skills necessary to design and conduct grounded theory research. Students investigate and align their research with a specific grounded theory tradition ranging from classic to Straussian to constructivist. Students identify how the theoretical and philosophical foundations of grounded theory align with their own philosophical orientation. Grounded theory research is reviewed and critiqued. Students evaluate issues of research safety, ethics, and feasibility within their proposed research. Finally, students design a research proposal that reflect their dissertation plans.
