When coding in grounded theory, the researcher tries to identify theoretical concepts rather than descriptive concepts

When coding in grounded theory, the researcher tries to identify theoretical concepts rather than descriptive concepts in the data. This assignment has three parts:

  1. For the first part of this assignment, review the coded data provided in the file ”RES2300 GT assignment part 1 descriptive and theoretical coding.docx” (file attached), and identify which column of codes are theoretical and which is descriptive.

  1. For the second part of the assignment, code attachment “Option 1”  for theoretical concepts. Highlight the word or phrase in the data in the left-hand column and then write a code naming the theoretical concept indicated by the highlighted word or phrase in the right-hand column.

  1. For the third part of the assignment, compare the theoretical coding in the first piece of data with your coding of the second piece of data. While these pieces of data may seem dissimilar based on the topics, see if you can find theoretical similarities between the two pieces of data. Write half a page to a page of memos, on the theoretical similarities between the two data sources.
