Reflexões sobre o pesquisador nas trilhas da Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados

Abstract

RESUmoEstudo de natureza descritivo-reflexiva, objetivando apresentar as características do pesquisador que utiliza o método Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados e delinear reflexões sobre o desenvolvimento das aptidões do pesquisador para tornar-se um Teórico Fundamentado. A discussão teóri-ca foi embasada nos referenciais dessa metodologia e apoiada na literatura. O artigo apresenta as principais demandas de estudos qualitativos com a Grounded Theory e importantes comportamentos, atitudes e características desenvolvidas pelos pesquisadores. Constata-se que a aprendizagem acerca da Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados vai além da habilidade para operacionalizar um conjunto de procedimentos e técnicas. Implica, também, em desafios de transformação na postura como pesquisador e em novas formas de pensar e pesquisar, reunindo conhecimentos a partir dos dados para formar uma teoria. AbSTRAcTThis descriptive-reflexive study was performed with the objective to present the characteristics of researchers who use the Grounded Theory method, and outline the development of aptitudes for the researcher to become a Grounded Theoretician. The theoretical discussion was based on the frameworks of this methodology and supported by the literature. The article presents the main demands of qualitative studies using Grounded Theory, and important behaviors, attitudes and characteristics developed by the researchers. It is concluded that learning about Grounded Theory involves more than operationalizing a group of procedures and techniques. It also involves facing challenges to change one's attitude as a researcher and develop new ways of thinking and researching, gathering knowledge based on data to form a theory. dEScRiPToRSNursing Nursing research Nursing methodology research Qualitative research RESUmEnEstudio de naturaleza descriptivo-reflexiva que objetiva presentar las características del investigador que utiliza el método Teoría Fundamentada en los Datos y delinear reflexiones sobre el desarrollo de las aptitudes del investigador para transformarse en un Teórico Fundamentado.

Different Argentine Rural Extensionists' Mindsets and Their Practical Implications

“…These categories were built based on both direct reading of the replies and topics resembling aspects highlighted by different development or extension theories. In doing so, general principles of Grounded Theory were applied (Glaser and Strauss 1967;Leite et al 2012). The categorization process involved several steps, from a first general categorization to a progressive delimitation/definition of each category.…”

Modos de explicar o bullying: análise dimensional das concepções de adolescentes

“…Data analysis was performed according to the dimensional analysis method, which includes three main steps: sizing, differentiating and integrating of elements 3,24 . The first step of this method consists in a codification by means of the selection of words, phrases or accounts that indicate outstanding dimensions in the transcribed texts and its main themes.…”

“…What do the data convey? Then, general and divergent concepts in the narratives were explored and compared, and finally, aspects of the literature were integrated to interpret and indicate the dimensions with greater explanatory power for the study group or its alternative perspectives 3,24 . A matrix with the identified dimensions was created on the basis of this picture.…”

“…It is a way of understanding processes and foreseeing how to intervene considering their different dimensions 23 . A dimension is a descriptive and decomposed concept of the object under analysis that interacts with other dimensions, revealing the context and the strongest elements used by a group to explain a given phenomenon 24 . Therefore, this work adopted the Grounded Theory as a methodological and theoretical reference based on a constructivist stance 3,23,24 .…”

“…Therefore, this work adopted the Grounded Theory as a methodological and theoretical reference based on a constructivist stance 3,23,24 . This constructivist stance assumes the preservation of the social complexity of the phenomena analyzed during the research process, encouraging the development of new understandings and theoretical interpretations 3,23,24 .…”
