Grounded theory in medical education research: AMEE Guide No. 70

Abstract: Qualitative research in general and the grounded theory approach in particular, have become increasingly prominent in medical education research in recent years. In this Guide, we first provide a historical perspective on the origin and evolution of grounded theory. We then outline the principles underlying the grounded theory approach and the procedures for doing a grounded theory study, illustrating these elements with real examples. Next, we address key critiques of grounded theory, which continue to shape … Show more

“…[3][4][5] Of the various qualitative methodologies, the grounded theory methodology has gained the most popularity in healthcare research, due in part to its focus on generating theory from the empirical data and its specified methodological procedures. [3][4][5] While both quantitative and qualitative research aim to represent phenomena accurately, they approach this task from different epistemological frameworks, purposes, and methodological procedures. 6,7 Quantitative research is based on a ''positivist'' paradigm or worldview that holds that there is a true objective reality that can be discovered through rigorous scientific inquiry in settings that are controlled to prevent interference from biases.…”

“…6,7 Quantitative research is based on a ''positivist'' paradigm or worldview that holds that there is a true objective reality that can be discovered through rigorous scientific inquiry in settings that are controlled to prevent interference from biases. 4,6,7 The postpositivist paradigm modifies this stance in accepting that reality can only be approximated due to the inherent limitations of scientific inquiry. 4 Using a hypothetico-deductive approach, quantitative research seeks to test, predict, or verify hypotheses.…”
