Although the relationship between Symbolic Interactionism and Grounded Theory is well established, how symbolic interactionist assumptions inform concrete analytical decisions during category development is less often made explicit. This theo...
APPLYING METHODS TRIANGULATION TO RESEARCH QUALITY ASSURANCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION
Curmi, Ronald; Rizzo, Alex; Montalto, MarcoGrounded theory (GT) is widely used in qualitative research to generate theory through constant comparison, memoing, theoretical sampling and category development. However, less attention has been given to how methods triangulation can be operationalised within GT without displacing qualitative analysis as the central source of conceptual development. This article demonstrates how methods triangulation can stre...
