Grounded Theory Method

This grounded theory study was designed to investigate the factors that influenced 20 "traditional" university freshmen to withdraw prior to the end of their first year at two Midwestern universities. A two-hour audio- taped interview was conducted with each of the participants, and the grounded theory method was utilized to analyze the interview data. Eighteen of the twenty participants had strong high school GPAs and ACT scores, and would not have been identified as being at-risk for attrition. The grounded theory that emerged from the participants' data indicated that an absence of clear educational goals, as well as individual and institutional distractions, interacted to contribute to the participants' withdrawal from their universities.

Kompetisi dalam pendidikan menuntut sekolah swasta harus mampu bersaing dengan sekolah negeri karena mereka menjadi pilihan kedua. Sebagai pilihan kedua maka kebanyakan sekolah swasta tidak mampu menarik siswa-siswa unggulan dan berprestasi. Tujuan studi ini adalah mendeskripsikan usaha yang ditempuh SMA swasta sebagai pilihan kedua untuk berkompetisi dengan sekolah negeri agar dapat bertahan. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif grounded theory di 10 SMA swasta pilihan kedua di Kabupaten Banyumas. Kabupaten ini dipilih karena peningkatan jumlah sekolah swasta yang cukup tinggi. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasil studi menunjukkan strategi yang dilakukan sekolah swasta pilihan kedua di antaranya, adalah melakukan promosi secara strategis ke SMP yang menjadi target potensial, memilih siswa tidak mampu, dan memiliki kemampuan akademik rendah sebagai sasaran utama, dan menawarkan biaya sekolah murah bahkan menawarkan sekolah gratis bagi siswa tidak mampu. Competition in education requires the private schools to compete with public schools since they  have been as the second choice. As the second choice, most private schools have been in failure to recruit talented and intelligent intake students. This article describes the efforts of private schools as the second choice, to face the competition with other public schools for its survival. This study used grounded theory method by taking 10 private high schools and located in Banyumas district. This district is chosen because the number of private schools is increased almost significantly. Data was collected using observation, interview, and documentation. The result of the study showed that strategies used by this type of school include among others, strategically promote themself to a potential junior high school, choose a low economic and low academic students as their main targets, and offering low-cost education, if possible, offering free cost education for low economic students.

Limited Application

The purpose of the grounded theory method is to develop a theory. While some grounded theories generated through the method have limited application because they tend to be grounded in the data of a single substantive area, if a substantive grounded theory is scaled up, it can be applied to more areas besides the substantive area from which it is derived. Therefore this paper outlines the options in scaling up a substantive grounded theory study.

The method used in this research is grounded theory method, based on the open coding, axial coding as well selective coding techniques. The method used to find the variation layout of the houses and then evaluate the characters and concept of the layouts. The conclusion of this study is that the core of the Talang Mamak house is based on the connectivity of four rooms namely: Ruang Haluan, Ruang Tangah, Ruang Tampuan and Pandapuran. The house has an open layout where all daily household activities are done without barriers. The social status of the owner is identified by houses furniture and staf

Key Aspects

The term grounded theory was introduced to the research lexicon by Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss in the 1960s, particularly with the publication of The Discovery of Grounded Theory in 1967. The term itself is somewhat misleading since it does not refer to a theory per se but rather to a method that facilitates the development of new theoretical insights—grounded theories. In this chapter the method is outlined, together with some background to its appearance and subsequent developments. Some key aspects are demonstrated using brief examples and exercises. Later sections describe the main features, procedures, outputs, and evaluation criteria.

A valoração do conhecimento representa uma lacuna na área do conhecimento organizacional. Esse artigo visa responder quais processos são adotados pelos indivíduos para a valoração dos conhecimentos nas organizações. A pesquisa, realizada com profissionais de RH, utilizou grounded theory method. Os resultados sugerem que o processo de identificação dos indivíduos com a identidade organizacional ocupa um lugar central na valoração do conhecimento. A organização, por intermédio da alta gestão ou das rotinas organizacionais, surgiu como "o outro" que parece conduzir as diretrizes a serem seguidas, assim como quais conhecimentos avaliar e valorar; aquela com quem os membros organizacionais buscam identificar-se. Os indivíduos expressaram mecanismos de afirmação, adequação ou reconstrução de suas identidades a fim de gerar, justificar ou negar identificação com a organização. É sugerido que o modelo de comando vertical ainda prevalece sobre a interação horizontal, tornando difícil o estabelecimento de conhecimento emergente entre os membros organizacionais.

Territorial Control

Abstract Sharing a corridor space in a rusunawa could form patterns of adaptation and exemplify the phenomenon of territorial mastery. This research aims to understand the form of this mastery as perceived by the occupants using the Grounded Theory method. The results show a theory of territorial mastery that can be developed from the findings in the field is a new theory of territorial characteristics, based on hard and soft territory. The hard territory is territorial control that is tangible or intangible, fixed or unchanged, and firm, whose existence is clear in a space that can be seen, occupied or controlled and maintained, and recognized by other residents. On the other hand, the soft territory is territorial control that is tangible and intangible, and which allows for flexible and soft shifts because it is an expression of the family and cultural emotions of guyub, so that mastery of the soft territory occurs not only because of tolerance, but also because of the prioritization of the feeling of kinship in living under one roof, and the harmonization of guyub relationships amongst people in a community
