I will introduce a few of the concepts on which grounded theory is based and this will use some of the language of grounded theory Grounded theory consists of asking questions of our data making theoretical compariso them. This work is to help us gain a better understanding of to be done in creative ways micro analysis: careful scrutiny of the data, line by line. There are specific techniques for close analysis that acknowledge how our selves and our biases influence our thinking but that try to break through these. Waving the red flag, for example, involves watching for such as never', "always' and 'on mustn't' or 'can't' and rather than accepting them at face value asking under what conditions they apply in order to open them up for further inquiry. Open coding is a process though which concepts (which are tools to help us organise data) are identified. Concepts are framed in terms of their properties and dimensions. Properties delineate a concept; dimensions specify its range of properties. Axial coding relates coded categories to each other and to sub-categories along their properties and dimensions, and is the means through which researchers link process to structure, or the things that happen with their conditions. Finally, the analytic story or theory which emerges to explain phenomena becomes much sharper in the writing or presentation of it.
