Coding Issues in Grounded Theory
Moghaddam, Alireza
Issues in Educational Research, v16 n1 p52-66 2006
This paper discusses grounded theory as one of the qualitative research designs. It describes how grounded theory generates from data. Three phases of grounded theory--open coding, axial coding, and selective coding--are discussed, along with some of the issues which are the source of debate among grounded theorists, especially between its founders, Glaser and Strauss.
