[Module 3] Expert group

I belong to the group investigating the grounded theory that focuses on data to find theories. My tasks are making the introduction and learning how to use software for collecting data. We have 4 times of meeting group. In the first time, we discuss the main idea of grounded theory together and list tasks such as the introduction, historical background, philosophical stance and key techniques. In next meeting, we combine all tasks and each member presents for each other. We discuss scenarios for the presentation of expert groups and make dialogues for our conversion in the third meeting. In last meeting, we practice for the presentation.

My task is mainly to think the conversation and learn how to put the script of the conversation into Atlas.ti - qualitative data collection software. Through using the software, I explore the way of observation and analysis in the set of much data. Also, I understand partially how to make relationship among entities.

I think our group present the grounded theory successfully and fascinatingly. We have done to introduce briefly the core concept of the grounded theory, the software for coding, and a research plan using the grounded theory.
