Please help me to understand and to be able to simplify the Ontological, Epistomological assumption as applied in Strauss and Corbin. I tried my best to readd about it but I could not get more articles where this is refered to so that I can learn in detail how other researchers used it. I end up mixing ideas fom Charmaz and Strauss and Glaser. May be if one of my fellow student on expert in this field in our thread can come to my
simplify the Ontological, Epistemological assumption as applied in Strauss and
Corbin. I tried my best to redd about it but I could not get more articles
where this is referred to so that I can learn in detail how other researchers
used it. I end up mixing ideas from Charmaz and Strauss and Glaser. May be if one
of my fellow student on expert in this field in our thread can come to my rescue.
If you read Corbin and Strauss (2008) Basics of Qual Research (3rd edition) there is an opening chapter about the philosophical framework that GT sits in (symbolic interactionism and pragmatism). There are some texts available about pragmatism e.g.
http://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Pragmatism.html?id=Swg3FN9Ryi8C and some about research methods where pragmatism is discussed e.g. http://www.amazon.com/Designing-Conducting-Mixed-Methods-Research/dp/1412927927
If you read about pragmatism, you'll find that it abandons notions of ontology and epistemology, taking a more methodological/empirical/pragmatic approach.
Hope this all helps.
