Research teams use grounded theory to analyse social processes and


relationships.

Because of the important role of data, there are key stages like data
collection and data analysis that need to happen in order for the resulting
data to be useful.

continue to refine the new theories down, a final theory is confirmed.

Grounded research is different from experimental research or scientific


inquiry as it does not need a hypothesis theory at the start to verify. Instead,
the evolving theory is based on facts and evidence discovered during each
stage. Also, grounded research also doesn’t have a preconceived
understanding of events or happenings before the qualitative research

A case study is a research approach that


provides an in-depth examination of a particular
phenomenon, event, organization, or individual. It
involves analyzing and interpreting data to
provide a comprehensive understanding of the
subject under investigation.

10
CASE STUDY
Case studies can be used in various disciplines, including
business, social sciences, medicine (clinical case report),
engineering, and education. The aim of a case study is to
provide an in-depth exploration of a specific subject,
often with the goal of generating new insights into the
phenomena being studied.

11
CASE STUDY
Case studies are often written to present the findings of an
empirical investigation or to illustrate a particular point or
theory. They are useful when researchers want to gain an in-
depth understanding of a specific phenomenon or when they
are interested in exploring new areas of inquiry.

Case studies are also useful when the subject of the research is
rare or when the research question is complex and requires an
in-depth examination. A case study can be a good fit for a
thesis or dissertation as well.

HISTORICAL
The structure of historical qualitative research follows a pattern of:

Formulating an idea of what you want to prove


In this part we go some of an unsolved and unproven things in this world,
as historical qualitative research is a research that finds/helps us to
know what's happening and the truth behind that specific situation.

Formulate a plan
In this part, we Formulate a plan on how we will find the truth behind
our topic with the past records as basis.

24
HISTORICAL
Gathering data
In this part, we gather data of our topic and historical records of it
to be as near as possible to the truth.

Analyzing data
We do this to make sure that the data we provide is something that
has credibility. We also want to make sure that we narrowed down
our topic to its limitations by analyzing the data we've gather as
qualitative research is broad.

Analyzing the sources of data

as researchers want to find the truth so we need to have datas
that is true. Thus, we analyze the sources of the datas we've
