“…Although numerous mixed methods studies purport to include grounded theory can be found in the literature, there are few exemplar mixed method-grounded theory (MM-GT) studies that can serve as models to guide this form of research (Johnson, McGowan, & Turner, 2010). Unfortunately, methodological detail is often vague or incomplete in published MM-GT studies, and the reader is left wondering about the specific procedures used, despite repeated calls across disciplines for increasing transparency in reporting research (American Educational Research Association, 2006) and particularly mixed methods research (O’Brien, Harris, Beckman, Reed, & Cook, 2014; Onwuegbuzie & Poth, 2016). Furthermore, the methodological literature offers relatively little guidance, with the exception of a helpful introduction to the concept and term mixed methods–grounded theory (MM-GT) from Johnson et al (2010; see also Babchuk, 2015).…”
