Methods: Interview, observation, participation, grounded theory. e. Evaluation3. Examples Current LectureGrounded theory is a mythical observation. We will think of it as how we approach theorizing and how we theorize. The key idea in grounded theory is that grounded theory emphasizes start-ing with the data and the phenomenon under study. All interpretive research foregrounds the theory. Grounded theory is concerned about not letting In grounded theory the questions we asked were guided loosely. The research questions we asked reflected saying something. Grounded theory begins more open. It has theoretical approach. Heart broken in half professor enters and looks at the information while it is happening. Looks towards a theoretical claim. If we are beginning in the data it doesn’t have any predisposed data.The research attempts to have grounded theory. They have questions grounded by theory. It is broader questions. Grounded theory doesn’t mean the researcher is a blank slate and they began with no knowledge.We can’t study something without having past knowledge on it. Our past effects our new knowl-edge. The prof isn’t a blank slate. People mistakenly say that post positivism materialistic theory is still highly systematic. Post positivistic there is no guess. There are procedures for a fair test of the guess. Interpretive is more challenging. To be open to the data we want to make sure we are being systematic. In grounded theory you see a systematic approach to asking questions. Even if the questions Grounded theory focuses on a specific question they can ask. Grounded theory and other inter-pretive approaches are systematic. There are specific questions being asked in a specific ways.COMM 305 1nd Edi-tionThere are systematic strategies for taking notes. There is a specific way notes are taken and ana-lyzed. There are strategies for analyzing quantitative data if you have it. They systemize other aspects of the process. What is walking the line is the first thing uttered in the film. Question Set 1 How does the research process captured in the film reflect the characteristics of the interpretive approach? He uses the language and tries to see what people mean by the language. He moves in. He tries to look at one specific place. He looks at the conditions. He describes it as being lacadatic. He tells that the water was cut off in 103 degree weather. That is relatable. If it hasn’t hap-pened to you you can imagine. a. Form: Rich, holistic analysis and synthesis.b. Goal: Question Set 1 Which quadrant does the research in the film fall into? Are the observed aware of the researcher? Does the researcher
