质性研究者可以在扎根理论方法的不同版本中发现哪些连续性和矛盾？方法内部的矛盾如何影响研究实践？新版本的扎根理论如何推进研究实践和批判性探究？为了回答这些问题，本主题演讲首先为那些不熟悉该方法的人简要概述了扎根理论，随后讨论了该方法版本之间的连续性和矛盾。建构主义扎根理论（CGT）使用了原始版本的方法论策略，但建立在其实用主义遗产的基础上，改变了其认识论基础，并解决了该方法早期版本中的矛盾。其结果意味着将扎根理论置于社会建构主义传统中，将数据视为与研究参与者共同构建的，刺穿根深蒂固的方法论偏见，并随后培养高度的方法论自我意识。CGT的实践帮助研究人员在询问他们的数据，新生的分析，研究行动，以及他们自己的每一步沿着的方式。随后，研究人员可以在整个调查过程中了解盎格鲁-北美世界观的普遍性。CGT不仅有助于在研究过程中理论化，定义和发展紧急关键问题，而且还将权力纳入范围。
What continuities and contradictions can qualitative researchers discern among versions of the grounded theory method? How do contradictions within the method affect research practice? How do new versions of grounded theory advance research practice and critical inquiry? To answer these questions, this keynote address begins with a brief overview of grounded theory for those who are unfamiliar with the method and subsequently discusses the continuities and contradictions between versions of the method. Constructivist grounded theory (CGT) uses the methodological strategies of the original version but builds on its pragmatist heritage, shifts its epistemological foundations, and resolves contradictions in earlier versions of the method. The result means placing grounded theory in the social constructionist tradition, viewing data as co-constructed with research participants, puncturing deeply held methodological preconceptions, and subsequently fostering a heightened methodological self-consciousness. The practice of CGT assists researchers in interrogating their data, nascent analyses, research actions, and themselves each step along the way. Subsequently, researchers can gain awareness of the pervasiveness of Anglo-North American worldviews throughout inquiry. CGT not only aids theorizing and defining and developing emergent critical questions during the research process but also brings power into purview.
