Reconstructive grounded theory with f4analysis

01. August 2024 2 minutes reading time

“f4analysis … is also suitable for reconstructive procedures due to its simplicity and flexibility. In particular, the provision of various “writing spaces”… also makes the program suitable for methodological approaches that go beyond pure coding.”
(S.7-8)

Reconstructive method

Concretely implemented in f4analyse, with teaching units

Irene Somm and Marco Hajart show how elements of narrative analysis and the documentary method can be combined with a sequential coding procedure in the style of grounded theory in f4analyse.

In a two-stage interpretation process, a rough sequential analysis, in which the (overall) story arc of a case is reconstructed, alternates with a detailed analysis, which includes open sequential and axial coding, and promotes the cognitive process through their mutual reference to each other.

In addition, there are concrete suggestions for teaching units within the framework of qualitative teaching research projects.
