“…until saturation was reached. The aim of Grounded Theory is to generate concepts, a model or a substantive theory that is faithful and illuminates the area under study rather than testing hypothesis based on existing theory (Baker, Wuerst & Stern, 1992). The basic rules include looking for psychosocial processes, discovering existing problem and examining how the people involved handle them (Stern, 1980).…”

The aim of this study was to deepen the understanding of female adolescents' daily living with chronic arthritis. Taperecorded open interviews were conducted once with six teenage girls (14Á17 years), who also wrote diaries for a 12-month period. In addition, 12 interviews of female adolescents diagnosed with chronic arthritis selected from another sample in an earlier study by the authors were included in the data. The Grounded Theory (GT) method was used for analysing the diaries and the transcribed interviews. A core category, labelled Fitting into the prevailing teenage culture, and four related categories labelled (1) mastering a body in pain; (2) living one day at time; (3) using social support; and (4) fighting for health emerged. The categories formed a substantive theory illuminating living with chronic arthritis during adolescence. The theory explains and provides a deeper understanding of the main concern of these female adolescents and their strategies in managing their situation.

“…This qualitative research approach originated within the symbolic interactionist school of psychology (Baker, Wuest, & Stern, 1992) and it is used to generate a comprehensive theory to understand social and psychological phenomena (see Glaser & Strauss, 1994;, 1997. The research traditions used in this school of inquiry share similarities with practices employed in social constructionism and social psychology (Bryant, 2017;Strauss & Corbin, 1997).…”

“…The symbolic interactionist perspective assumes that people are motivated to look for meaning in their behaviour and that they act in accordance with their subjective understanding of the situations in which they find themselves. GTM is used in disciplines that aim to discover significant aspects of human experiences, and it is employed to capture, understand, and explain lived experiences of people (Baker et al, 1992;Charmaz, 1996). GTM provides researchers with a series of logically consistent research techniques and strategies to conduct rigorous qualitative research studies.…”

This research work describes the first work-package of an exploratory study, which examined a group of elementary school teachers' beliefs (representations) about digital technology in the French Polynesian context. The major objective of the study was to provide teacher education programmes with research-based information about the primary school teachers' beliefs and practices about digital technology. The study based its theoretical assumptions about teacher beliefs on the social representations theory and its research design on the grounded theory. The data were collected via interviews using theoretical sampling and theoretical saturation methods. Interviewing and analysis procedures were implemented concurrently through the systematic use of coding and iterative analysis processes. Research results indicated that internal factors such as interest in technology, teachers' DT skills and external factors such as support from administrators and technical maintenance played key roles in shaping teachers' DT practices.

“…Consistent with phenomenological methodology, only data that was from participants who lived the experiences was considered (Ray, 1985;Van Manen, 1984, 1997. This approach would allow researchers to examine responses that emerged from the participants' own frame of reference (Baker, Wuest, & Stern, 1992) and identify aspects of the participants' dialectic relationship between self and his/her world.…”

In March 2009, seventeen preservice teachers and their Faculty of Education supervisors spent three weeks living in rural Kenya and teaching in the schools built and supported by a well-known NGO. The impact of this experience on the preservice teachers was studied nine months after the trip. Now, over four years later, we have conducted a further phenomenological investigation with two of the original participants to examine their perception of the longevity of impact of this experience on their lives, their careers, and the personal and professional choices they make as a result of their Kenyan experience. Purposive sampling was used to illuminate the richness of individual experience and the philosophical synthesis each participant has undertaken to make strong commitments in their current choices and practices. It is evident that long-term impacts can be realized in relation to teachers' curriculum views, world views, and sense of personal empowerment from the experience of international practicum experiences in developing countries. Proposals for action by Faculties of Education are recommended.
