In contrast to research that starts with a hypothesis, “Grounded Theory is a form of qualitative research developed [...] for the purpose of constructing theory” from the observations upwards (Corbin, 2017). This session is a brief introduction to the principles of Grounded Theory, and its applicability to educational scholarship.
I’m from Arts / Social Sciences, and I’d come because: I’ve predominantly dealt with quantitative research and I’m interested in getting an idea of some of the ways I might undertake some scholarship of learning and teaching.
I’m from MVLS / Science & Engineering, and I’d come because: I’m curious about research outside of my comfort zone, and I’d like to get a taster of some qualitative approaches.
Tea and coffee will be available.
Please note that these CPD workshops are only open to University of Glasgow staff (including Graduate Teaching Assistants / Demonstrators).
