Grounded Theory




      If your research goal is accurate description, then
      another method should be chosen since Grounded
      Theory is not a descriptive method.
      Instead it has the goal of generating concepts that
      explain people’s actions regardless of time and place.
      The descriptive parts of a GT are there mainly to
      illustrate the concepts.
                                                                              http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grounded_theory




              Designing the Experience of Information Retrieval : Janus Boye Conference 2009                 Joe Lamantia    27
Grounded Theory




    What most differentiates grounded theory from
    much other research is that it is explicitly
    emergent.  It does not test a hypothesis. 

    It sets out to find what theory accounts for
    the research situation as it is. 

    The aim, as Glaser in particular states it, is to
    discover the theory implicit in the data.

                           Seeking & Finding
                           The seeking mode focuses on traditional searching, but includes
                           other activities such as narrowing sets using cumulative
                           parameters, finding with/in faceted systems.
    Seeking &
     Finding
                           The key characteristic of seeking mode is that, users bring the
                           situations and contexts (like search results) they encounter into
                           existence by seeking them out.


                           When seeking, users encounter fluid destinations within the larger
                           information environment based on what they are looking for, and
                           how they are looking for it.


                           A classic example of seeking mode is a user who poses an ad-
                           hoc query via a search interface, and sorts through the list of
                           search results returned in response.

                           Seeking & Finding
                           Finding could take the form of active searching by posing queries
                           to a search-style input experience.

    Seeking &
                           Finding could also take the form of refining a list of potentially
     Finding
                           useful items based on facets of the content.


                           Users may not know in advance what finding activities will yield.


                           Users may receive a set of search results that includes many
                           different types of items, from many different authors or content
                           sources that conceptually relate to what they began looking for
                           based on mappings of terms and concepts.

                              Visiting Stable Destinations
                              When visiting stable destinations, users encounter stable places
                              within the information environment that exist regardless of the
                              user's activities.
  Visiting Stable
   Destinations
                              Destinations will offer users a set of things they know in advance
                              and expect to encounter. Persistence could be conceptual only,
                              reflected in navigation elements, or made part of the user
                              experience via any number of mechanisms.


                              All destinations have a focus of some kind, such as a topic, or
                              product, or event, and may be defined by the intersection of
                              several focuses, such as products or documents created by one
                              person that are related to a topic or event.

                              Visiting Stable Destinations
                              Destinations could take the form of pages that assemble content,
                              research, ratings, and functionality either dynamically based on
                              business rules and profile information or manually selected by
  Visiting Stable             Client.com staff or the users.
   Destinations
                              Destinations will likely change based on business rules and user
                              context, as well as changes in the items available within the
                              environment.


                              A good example of a stable destination is the Arts page of the
                              New York Time online; the articles and the art they concern
                              change constantly, yet users know what to expect when they
                              visit. The page is a visible part of the environment conceptually
                              (as a category) and in terms of navigation, and is easily
                              accessible directly from outside the environment.

Modes

                            Monitoring
                            Monitoring effectively extends the user experience and
                            information retrieval capabilities beyond the boundaries of the
                            originating environment, and allows users to know in advance
                            what they will find or encounter when they enter the environment.
   Monitoring

                            For example, a user may wish to monitor the publications
                            concerning an issue in their portfolio; while the contents of new
                            publications would vary, every notification they receive would
                            concern a known issue.


                            Monitoring requires messages or communication tokens,
                            commonly email, RSS, or SMS, but could take many other forms
                            as well.

                               Delivery
                               In this mode, users do not have to enter the environment at all to
                               retrieve information, enabling them to further goals without
                               increasing acquisition costs or effort.

    Delivery
                               Delivery could take the form of packages of documents or other
                               content dispatched to users via numerous channels, such as
                               RSS, email, SMS, etc.


                               Receiving delivered items is the least active mode we defined for
                               users, allowing them to retrieve information without actively
                               seeking, visiting a destination, or monitoring the environment.


                               Good examples of delivered information are the iconic stock
                               ticker, RSS feeds for blog postings, and email publications.

Using Scenarios

Challenges
 • Making the scenarios comprehensive across
  tasks and user types, given the large number of
  user types in the User Needs Matrix
 • Incorporating personas that illustrated differences
  in how users might interact with the system
 • Differences in the usersʼ end goals and job
  requirements
 • Client requested modifications very late in the
  process


Findings
 • Scenarios support an overall vision of customer
  experience and solution
 • Technical clients often to try to mold scenarios
  into use cases

Desire path
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



A desire path (or desire line) is a path developed by erosion caused by animal
or human footfall. The path usually represents the shortest or most easily
navigated route between an origin and destination. The width and amount of
erosion of the line represents the amount of demand.

The term was coined by Gaston Bachelard in his book The Poetics of Space.[1]

Desire paths can usually be found as shortcuts where constructed pathways take
a circuitous route.

Information Retrieval Patterns



    Seeker
    The Seeker is looking for something.
    Once found, the Seeker goes elsewhere to accomplish other goals.




                                                                        Visiting Stable

Information Retrieval Patterns



    Regular Customer
    The Regular Customer visits the same destination(s) consistently for the same
    reasons. Then the Regular Customer realizes they can save the time and effort of
    visiting, and switches modes to have the things they need delivered directly to them.




      Visiting Stable
                                                                                         Delivery

  • 60. Grounded Theory If your research goal is accurate description, then another method should be chosen since Grounded Theory is not a descriptive method. Instead it has the goal of generating concepts that explain people’s actions regardless of time and place. The descriptive parts of a GT are there mainly to illustrate the concepts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grounded_theory Designing the Experience of Information Retrieval : Janus Boye Conference 2009 Joe Lamantia 27
  • 61. Grounded Theory What most differentiates grounded theory from much other research is that it is explicitly emergent.  It does not test a hypothesis.  It sets out to find what theory accounts for the research situation as it is.  The aim, as Glaser in particular states it, is to discover the theory implicit in the data.

  • 93. Modes Seeking & Finding The seeking mode focuses on traditional searching, but includes other activities such as narrowing sets using cumulative parameters, finding with/in faceted systems. Seeking & Finding The key characteristic of seeking mode is that, users bring the situations and contexts (like search results) they encounter into existence by seeking them out. When seeking, users encounter fluid destinations within the larger information environment based on what they are looking for, and how they are looking for it. A classic example of seeking mode is a user who poses an ad- hoc query via a search interface, and sorts through the list of search results returned in response.

Seeking & Finding could also take the form of refining a list of potentially Finding useful items based on facets of the content. Users may not know in advance what finding activities will yield. Users may receive a set of search results that includes many different types of items, from many different authors or content sources that conceptually relate to what they began looking for based on mappings of terms and concepts.

  • 99. Modes Visiting Stable Destinations When visiting stable destinations, users encounter stable places within the information environment that exist regardless of the user's activities. Visiting Stable Destinations Destinations will offer users a set of things they know in advance and expect to encounter. Persistence could be conceptual only, reflected in navigation elements, or made part of the user experience via any number of mechanisms. All destinations have a focus of some kind, such as a topic, or product, or event, and may be defined by the intersection of several focuses, such as products or documents created by one person that are related to a topic or event.

  • 100. Modes Visiting Stable Destinations Destinations could take the form of pages that assemble content, research, ratings, and functionality either dynamically based on business rules and profile information or manually selected by Visiting Stable Client.com staff or the users. Destinations Destinations will likely change based on business rules and user context, as well as changes in the items available within the environment. A good example of a stable destination is the Arts page of the New York Time online; the articles and the art they concern change constantly, yet users know what to expect when they visit. The page is a visible part of the environment conceptually (as a category) and in terms of navigation, and is easily accessible directly from outside the environment.

  • 104. Modes Monitoring Monitoring effectively extends the user experience and information retrieval capabilities beyond the boundaries of the originating environment, and allows users to know in advance what they will find or encounter when they enter the environment. Monitoring For example, a user may wish to monitor the publications concerning an issue in their portfolio; while the contents of new publications would vary, every notification they receive would concern a known issue. Monitoring requires messages or communication tokens, commonly email, RSS, or SMS, but could take many other forms as well.

  • 106. Modes Delivery In this mode, users do not have to enter the environment at all to retrieve information, enabling them to further goals without increasing acquisition costs or effort. Delivery Delivery could take the form of packages of documents or other content dispatched to users via numerous channels, such as RSS, email, SMS, etc. Receiving delivered items is the least active mode we defined for users, allowing them to retrieve information without actively seeking, visiting a destination, or monitoring the environment. Good examples of delivered information are the iconic stock ticker, RSS feeds for blog postings, and email publications.

The term was coined by Gaston Bachelard in his book The Poetics of Space.[1] Desire paths can usually be found as shortcuts where constructed pathways take a circuitous route. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desire_path

  2. This client is integrating a series of siloed products that provide a substantial body of qualitative research and quantitative analytics tools into an single services delivery platform relying on a common user experience framework and technology architecture. The eventual user experience must meet the needs of a diverse population of customers and internal users, working in the complex financial services domain. We will trace the co-evolution of the information architecture and taxonomy efforts, beginning with identifying business drivers and establishing a vision, and progressing to the most recent design iterations.

  7. It is a general method. It is the systematic generation of theory from systematic research.  It is a set of rigorous research procedures leading to the emergence of conceptual categories.  These concepts/categories are related to each other as a theoretical explanation of the action(s) that continually resolves the main concern of the participants in a substantive area. The Discovery of Grounded Theory is a 1967 book (ISBN 0-202-30260-1) by Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss on grounded theory. After their success with Awareness of Dying, Glaser and Strauss decided to write a book on methodology. The Discovery of Grounded Theory was meant to invite and motivate people to use the newly developed methodology. Unlike later works, it does not provide much advice on how to put the theory into practice. The authors had several goals in mind when writing the book: Legitimize qualitative research. Having a reference book by established authors helped students defend qualitative studies which were not widely accepted at the time. Criticize functionalists like Talcott Parsons and his student Robert K. Merton who in turn had been a teacher of Barney Glaser. Demonstrate the possibility of building theories from data, something that many qualitative researchers doubt to this day, instead choosing to stick with mere ethnographic descriptions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Discovery_of_Grounded_Theory
  8. Hypothesis testing versus emergence What most differentiates grounded theory from much other research is that it is explicitly emergent.  It does not test a hypothesis.  It sets out to find what theory accounts for the research situation as it is.  In this respect it is like action research: the aim is to understand the research situation.  The aim, as Glaser in particular states it, is to discover the theory implicit in the data. This distinction between "emergence and forcing", as Glaser frames it, is fundamental to understanding the methodology.  Most of you, whatever your discipline, will have been exposed more to hypothesis-testing research than to emergent research.  The research processes you have learned and the thesis structures you have internalised are those of hypothesis testing, not of emergence.  Doing grounded theory well is partly a matter of unlearning some of what you have been taught or have acquired through your reading. If you judge grounded theory by the criteria you have learned to use for hypothesis testing research you will likely misjudge it, perhaps badly.  In particular, the place of literature is quite different.  So is the way in which both methodology and theory develop gradually as data and interpretations accumulate. In particular, judgments about the rigour of research are often based on narrow criteria: criteria which make sense only for the methodology for which they were developed.  Grounded theory has its own sources of rigour.  It is responsive to the situation in which the research is done.  There is a continuing search for evidence which disconfirms the emerging theory.  It is driven by the data in such a way that the final shape of the theory is likely to provide a good fit to the situation. In fact, Glaser suggests two main criteria for judging the adequacy of the emerging theory: that it fits the situation;  and that it works -- that it helps the people in the situation to make sense of their experience and to manage the situation better. Elsewhere, I’ve offered similar arguments in favour of action research.  In particular, I draw your attention to my 1999 paper to the AQR conference, and the recent paper on data driven research. Now, the elements in more detail ...  http://www.scu.edu.au/schools/gcm/ar/arp/grounded.html#a_gt_hypoth
