Much less of it. Because that's not preparing students adequately for the current environment. They need to be familiar with it, know its pitfalls, be able to spot when it has been used by others, and harness it selectively when appropriate. The same as for any new tool in the professions.

It will be alright in the end. And if it's not alright, it is not yet the end.

Things that didn't make the news that will likely change our lives for the better

The news is not an accurate reflection of the world.

Good news doesn't get reported as much.

Here are the wonderful things researchers have achieved recently.

Question: How many different types of grounded theory are there, and how do they differ?

Would love to hear from those who have been using this approach. Thanks to my Masters student, Samina Malik, for the education!

The paper is quite old now (2012), but I havenโ€™t seen this approach in HPE research. I wonder if there is a place for it now, or whether constructivist grounded theorists already do this (albeit not quite so explicitly)

This form of grounded theory involves triple reasoning - inductive, deductive and abductive. It aligns quite well to Charmazโ€™s constructivist grounded theory, but involves explicitly returning to the literature to inform codes and themes.
