Fostering the process of belonging online through teaching and learning interactions
There is an established relationship between teaching and learning practices and the drive to foster belonging in Australian universities towards improved student success and retention. This qualitative grounded theory study examined the experiences of first year students and teaching staff in ICT (Information Communication Technology) to develop a process of belonging online in higher education. We found belonging is fostered by connecting inter…
Illuminating hidden work of group singing facilitators
Group singing is a joyous communal activity that enhances participants’ well-being. While research highlights its positive impacts, little is known about those who facilitate these groups or the social processes of group singing facilitation. Contemporary reviews of community music literature call for more research into the facilitation role to better support community singing groups. This Australian study explored the process of group singing fa…
Actively maintaining connections in first-year higher education
While there is extensive literature on student belonging, there are aspects of the process of belonging that are still unclear. This longitudinal grounded theory study included 19 ICT students in their first year of undergraduate study, eight of their lead educators and four support educators in an Australian higher education institution. Employing Strauss’ approach to grounded theory, and symbolic interactionism as an analytical tool, researcher…
Practical challenges of using grounded theory with a longitudinal research design
Using grounded theory with a longitudinal research design considers relational situations through the concurrent generation and analysis of data from the same participants multiple times. This research design presents challenges, including integrating iterative grounded theory with a structured longitudinal research design and undertaking constant comparative analysis of a large amount of data over time. Abductive analysis can be employed to work…
For all kinds of reasons, it hasn't happened”
Upscaling perennial biomass crops (PBC) for bioenergy is a key element of decarbonisation plans in the UK. However uptake of PBC by farmers has been historically poor and the bioenergy industry nascent, reflecting international contexts. This has been problematised from a number of social, economic and policy perspectives and scales. Positioning this work in transition studies, we aim to examine barriers and enablers to upscaling Miscanthus and S…
Discourse, discursive power, and Social License to Operate
BECCS, with the upscaling of domestic biomass feedstock, is envisaged to play an important role in meeting the UK's net zero commitments. However, BECCS is controversial which has implications for social acceptability. This paper aims to examine how discourse and discursive power of different groups engaged in the debates about BECCS can condition a Social License to Operate (SLO). It contributes to a growing body of critical social science studi…
Afforestation on agricultural land in England
Increasing woodland creation and tree planting on agricultural land requires significant changes in farmer behaviour. Understanding the underlying factors influencing farmers' behaviour can help to inform the design and development of effective policies and interventions that aim to facilitate an increase in tree cover and woodland on farmland. This paper presents a systematic review of 104 studies, analysed using the Theoretical Domains Framewor…
Scholarly Podcasting
Scholarly podcasting is a creative method of qualitative research dissemination that is gaining recognition for its effectiveness and accessibility. Although podcasting has existed for decades, scholarly podcasting is still in its infancy, with contemporary literature suggesting its potential to broaden public scholarship and engage diverse audiences. In this article, we critically reflect on using a five-part podcast series to disseminate the fi…
Harmonising Theory
The integration of singing and song with established grounded theory methods offers readers unique methodological insights. Readers will be guided through the process of including singing and song within grounded theory methods using a worked example that explores the facilitator factors in group singing. We detail innovative approaches to research design including data generation, analysis and dissemination of findings. Specific examples will il…
Grounded Theory
This is a highly practical book which introduces the whole range of grounded theory approaches. Unlike most existing books in this area, which are written from a particular philosophical standpoint, this text provides a comprehensive description of the strategies and techniques employed in this methodology. The text is driven by practical case examples throughout to help the reader get to grips with the process of doing grounded theory analysis f…
Hauora Māori – Māori health
Māori practices are an expression of autonomy in the face of enduring health system failure. Apart from lower immunisation rates, health outcomes were not different from other models of care, despite patients having higher health risk profiles. Across all models, primary care need was unmet for many Māori, despite increased clinical input. Funding must support under-resourced Māori practices and ensure accountability for the health outcomes of Mā…
Nurses’ work in relation to patient health outcomes
Transferring work to nurses in Traditional, Health Care Home, and Corporate practices, would release general practitioner clinical time for other work. Worse patient health outcomes were associated with higher patient need and higher clinical input. It is plausible that there is insufficient clinical input to meet the degree of patient need. More practitioner clinical time is required, especially in practices with high volumes of complex patients
Is there equity of patient health outcomes across models of general practice in Aotearoa New Zealand? A national cross-sectional study
Model-level associations with poor patient outcomes suggest inequity in measures that might be used to target investment in primary care

Outsiders in the Experts’ World
This article presents findings from a grounded theory study, which investigated interactions between health professionals and consumers. The authors used Corbin and Strauss’s evolved version of grounded theory, which is underpinned by symbolic interactionism. The study sample included 23 consumers and nine health professionals. Data collection methods included demographic questionnaires, interviews, consumer diaries, digital storytelling, observa…
How do we enact co-innovation with stakeholders in agricultural research projects? Managing the complex interplay between contextual and facilitation processes
Grounded Theory
Since being developed as a research methodology in the 1960s, grounded theory (GT) has grown in popularity. In spite of its prevalence, considerable confusion surrounds GT, particularly in respect of the essential methods that characterize this approach to research. Misinformation is evident in the literature around issues such as the various approaches to GT, how long the process takes, the role of literature and preconceptions, generating and u…

Representations of Middle Age in Comedy Film
The discourse of middle age includes a commonly-held perception that it is a time of crisis resulting in unusual, atypical, dramatic or extravagant behaviours. The aim of this study was to find out if the discourse of middle age, as depicted in comedy film, supports this stereotype. Three comedy films were reviewed using dispositive analysis to critically-evaluate the actions, objects and language employed to represent middle age on-screen. The f…
The Development of Constructivist Grounded Theory
Constructivist grounded theory is a popular method for research studies primarily in the disciplines of psychology, education, and nursing. In this article, the authors aim to locate the roots of constructivist grounded theory and then trace its development. They examine key grounded theory texts to discern their ontological and epistemological orientation. They find Strauss and Corbin's texts on grounded theory to possess a discernable thread of…

Transformational Grounded Theory
Grounded theory has been evolving methodologically since Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss first described it in the late 1960s. Initially underpinned by modernist philosophy, grounded theory has had recent turns including the adoption of both constructivism and postmodernism. This article explores ontological offerings of critical realism as a basis for transformational grounded theory informed by participatory action research and decolonizing re…
Using Secondary Data for Grounded Theory Analysis
Grounded theory is well utilised in qualitative research for building theoretical understanding of complex social processes. Grounded theory data analysis strategies can be used with different types of data, including secondary data. Despite the potential advantages of secondary data, it is rarely used for grounded theory studies, largely due to a perception that researchers are unable to follow the guidelines of this research design with data th…

Reconceptualising translation in agricultural innovation
Conducting a Grounded Theory Study in a Language Other Than English
Translation can be a problem area for researchers conducting qualitative studies in languages other than English who intend to publish the results in an English-language journal. Analyzing the data is also complex when the research team consists of people from different language backgrounds. Translation must be considered as an issue in its own right to maintain the integrity of the research, especially in a grounded theory study. In this article…

New graduate nurses as knowledge brokers in general practice in New Zealand
Practice nursing in New Zealand is not well described in the literature. One survey illustrated that most of the New Zealand practice nurses sampled did not know of the country's two premier evidence-based health websites. A recent review compared general practice in the UK, New Zealand and Australia and found that whereas there had been significant developments in empowering the practice nurse workforce to run nurse-led clinics in the UK, New Ze…
The possession state intwaso
Intwaso is an indigenous condition which has been the subject of a great deal of psychological and psychiatric research over the past 50 years. The central tenet of this article is that a distorted interpretation of intwaso is inevitable if the condition is examined outside both the micro and macro structural context of South African society. Under such circumstances, the research design would rule out the possibility of identifying the condition…

Popular Screen Culture and Digital Communication Technology in Literacy Learning
This article discusses a trial project to explore the role of popular screen culture in student engagement levels, the capabilities of the smartphone camera for screen literacy learning, and the potential of digital communication technology for cultural participation and global citizenship. It asks if screen literacy learning so framed could point to a new pedagogy of cosmopolitanism
Situating the 'beyond
In 2010, an Indigenous Elder from the Wiradjuri nation and a group of academics from Charles Sturt University travelled to Menindee, a small locality on the edge of the Australian outback. They were embarked upon an ‘adventure-learning’ research journey to study ways of learning by creating a community of practice with an Elder from the Ngyampa/Barkandji nation. This article first explores the implications of this innovative approach to transform…
Hollywood
Paracinema is widely defined in terms of its binary opposition to Hollywood cinema, making it Hollywood's ‘bad other’. This proposes Hollywood as the opposite of bad, and therefore good. Underlying this conceptualization is a Hollywoodcentric approach to studying film in which the globally dominant cinema sets the standard by which all other cinemas are judged – and often to be found lacking. Paradoxically, cinemas seen to oppose Hollywood often …

Promoting farmer uptake of agri-environment schemes
Adopting a constructivist approach to grounded theory
Grounded theory is a popular research methodology that is evolving to account for a range of ontological and epistemological underpinnings. Constructivist grounded theory has its foundations in relativism and an appreciation of the multiple truths and realities of subjectivism. Undertaking a constructivist enquiry requires the adoption of a position of mutuality between researcher and participant in the research process, which necessitates a reth…
