Discuss why grounded theory is “grounded” in (i.e., why it is called grounded theory) and when a researcher would use grounded theory.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Answer would ideally include: The goal of grounded theory is to begin with a particular educational phenomenon in mind and permit those aspects that are relevant to the phenomenon to emerge during the study. This is another way of saying that the theory is “grounded” in (or derived from) the data. It is appropriate to use grounded theory research when you need a broad theory or explanation of some process and existing theories do not address your problem or the particular setting you want to study.

Jamie is finishing her associate’s degree and has a part-time job. As she starts to look for a full-time job, she realizes that her desk is very disorganized. She missed paying a bill for her apartment and finally found it buried under some important class notes she thought she’d lost. (The business cards she’d been looking for since the career fair two weeks ago were also in the
pile of paper.) Keeping up with follow-up phone calls for her job search, juggling her class and work schedule, and taking care of her day-to-day needs is harder than she thought it would be. She knows she needs a system to stay on top of everything. What suggestions do you have for Jamie as she organizes her desk?
