Oscillating among Different Traditions of Grounded Theory
Sigauke, Innocent; Swansi, Kenneth; Tsvara, Peter
Grounded theory is one of the major research designs used in qualitative studies. However, there is more than one genre of grounded theory. Some authors highlight the basic dichotomy between Strauss and Glaser’s approaches to grounded theory while still others go further to highlight that the grounded theory method is in fact more than a dichotomy, but a ‘contested concept.’ Though others seem to downplay such a contest, there are others who suggest that one does not have to choose between the two approaches, adding that a balanced approach is ideal as there is a lot to learn from all grounded theory forbearers. This paper provides an outline of the uncontested concepts of grounded theory while highlighting the options among the various grounded theory approaches.

Scaling up Grounded Theory: Problems, Implications and Options for Qualitative Researchers
Sigauke, Innocent; Swansi, Kenneth; Tsvara, Peter
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.

“Classic” Grounded Theory: An Extraction of Saldana’s Coding Heuristics
Sigauke, Innocent; Swansi, Kenneth
Coding is an essential part of grounded theory data analysis. Codes are the building blocks of the substantive theory (Glaser, 1998). That probably explains why Strauss (1987) aptly observes that effective coding is an integral part of qualitative data analysis; hence, the quality of research depends on the quality of its coding. Charmaz (as cited in Saldana, 2016) seemed to have concurred with the same sentiments when she opinioned that coding provides the vital link between the data collected and the meaning ascribed to it.
