Odis SIMMONS war einer der ersten Studierenden, die die Methode der Grounded Theory (GTM) direkt von deren Begründern GLASER und STRAUSS erlernten. Abgesehen von GLASER selbst ist SIMMONS wahrscheinlich derjenige, der die Methode den meisten Studierenden weltweit vermittelt hat. In diesem Interview gibt SIMMONS wichtige Einblicke in das Erlernen, Durchführen, Lehren und Anwenden der klassischen Grounded-Theory-Methodologie. Mit seinem doppelten Hintergrund als Therapeut und Hochschullehrer geht SIMMONS auf Ängste ein, die Studierende während des Forschungsprozesses haben könnten, und wie sie überwunden werden können. Er erläutert die Ideen, die hinter seinen eigenen Ansätzen der Grounded Action und Grounded Therapy stehen, die lange Zeit im GTM-Hintergrund angesiedelt waren, aber allmählich immer mehr Verbreitung finden. Im Interview bringt er auch neue Erkenntnisse zu den divergierenden Perspektiven von GLASER und STRAUSS ein, die seiner Meinung nach von Anfang an bestanden. Er erläutert, warum die klassische GTM und die konstruktivistische GTM als zwei verschiedene Methoden betrachtet werden sollten, und fordert Lehrende auf, die Unterschiede offen zu diskutieren.... view less

Odis SIMMONS was among the first students who learned grounded theory method (GTM) directly from the co-founders GLASER and STRAUSS. Except for GLASER himself, SIMMONS is probably the grounded theorist who has taught the method to most students globally. In this interview SIMMONS provides key insights into learning, doing, teaching, and applying classic grounded theory (GT) as a general research method. With his double background as a therapist and a teacher in higher education, SIMMONS elaborates on fears that students might have during the research process and how they are overcome. He explains the ideas behind his own approaches to grounded action and grounded therapy, which for a long time resided in the GTM background but are gradually getting more widespread. In the interview, he also brings new knowledge on the diverging perspectives of GLASER and STRAUSS which, according to him, existed from the beginning. He argues, in an including manner, why classic GTM and constructivist GTM should be considered two different methods and urges educators to openly discuss the differences.... view less
