Case Studies and Generalizability: Grounded Theory and Research in Science Education.
Taber, Keith S.
International Journal of Science Education, v22 n5 p469-87 May 2000
Grounded theory may be used to bridge case studies and large-scale surveys as it enables the strengths of both to be combined in the same research program. Presents one example of the application of a grounded theory approach to research into science learning, and considers the generalizability of the research results. (Contains 33 references.)
