Theorising from data
Theorising from data
This chapter will help you undertake the process of developing a more abstract theoretical explanation of data collected through the range of approaches that have been covered in this text to date.The interpretive process can be initiated early and should have strong links to the research question, to the literature and to any specific forms of data analysis that have been undertaken. Sometimes this is an almost seamless process where, at one extreme, previously identified theories are applied (theory testing/theory directed), while at the other emergent explanation closely linked to a range of theoretical positions (theory generation) occurs. In between these two extremes, light theoretical interpretations of a conceptual nature and the development of models of best practice may occur.
