Full textMuziejaus edukacinė veikla, kaip mokslinio tyrimo objektas, ypač Lietuvoje, yra dar labai mažai nagrinėta, taigi disertacinis muziejinės edukacijos tyrimas yra reikšmingas tolimesnei muziejinės edukacijos plėtrai. Tyrimui atlikti pasirinkta klasikinės grindžiamosios teorijos strategija, suteikianti tyrėjui galimybę, konceptualizuojant tyrimo duomenis, „iškelti“ teoriją, atskleidžiančią pagrindinį rūpestį ir paaiškinančią, kaip jis yra sprendžiamas. Tyrime taikyti duomenų rinkimo metodai (interviu, stebėjimas, neformalūs pokalbiai, virtualūs komentarai, rašinėliai, piešiniai, dokumentai) ir klasikinės grindžiamosios teorijos procedūrų taikymas padėjo atskleisti, kad pagrindinį rūpestį muziejinėje edukacijoje kelia nuobodulys. Nuobodulio problema muziejinėje edukacijoje yra sprendžiama nardinančiu interaktyvumu, kurio pagrindu ir suformuota grindžiamoji teorija: Nardinantis interaktyvumas muziejinėje edukacijoje. Šioje teorijoje yra atskleidžiami plūduriavimo ir pasinėrimo procesai, paaiškinantys šiuolaikinę muziejinę edukaciją. Plūduriavimą, kaip paviršinės muziejinės edukacijos procesą, atskleidžia nuobodulio rato įsukimas, kai sprendžiant nuobodulio problemą, siekiama išvengti nuobodulio aktyvinimu, kuris veda prie perdozavimo ir lemia grįžimą į pradinę nuobodulio būseną. Tuomet muziejaus lankytojas tarsi plūduriuoja muziejinės edukacijos paviršiuje, kas veda prie dalinio ir laikino nuobodulio problemos sprendimo bei skatina muziejaus lankytojus ateityje labiau vengti...

Full textIn this research paper I will present the results of analysis based on the interviews of three young men and their experiences with meaning in their own lives. The interviews are placed within a phenomenological tradition, and the participants themselves decide what experiences are deemed relevant. Inspired by the coding processes of Grounded Theory I have searched for an essence of the experiences the participants share. Through categorical analysis I have reached five categories, which intend to describe the different ways in which the participants experience meaning. By looking at the interaction between the categories I reach a contextual local theory. This local theory is discussed in light of general theory and previous empiric research. In the discussion I will point out how the different theoretical views contribute to a rich understanding of meaning as a concept. Based on my general discussion I look at what impact my findings may have on future counselling research and practice. I will conclude that the concept of meaning should be relevant to human beings in general and counsellors in particular.

Full textChange has been a phenomenon of growing popularity among those studying organization science because of its increasing pervasiveness in most domains of organizational reality and life itself. Authors on change and learning have been touting a phenomenon they label organizational improvisation as a competence / skill necessary to survive, let alone to thrive, in environments where change is a constant. Literature on this phenomenon is abundant in theoretical discussion and metaphorically grounded theories but scarce in cumulated knowledge and empirically grounded models. In an attempt to make a contribution to widen the empirical basis of research on organizational improvisation, this study follows a ‘weak-constructivist’ paradigm and draws on three sources to build a grounded theory of this phenomenon: the development of an organizational innovation, a public performance of a company's team and a series of interviews of academicians academicians-practicioners and consultants. The first source, which is in fact an embedded multiple-case study constitutes the core data set of this study, the second aims at establishing a distinction between organizational and jazz improvisation (the most widely used metaphor on this topic) and the third aims at building the theoretical sensitivity necessary for grounded theory. From these sources sixty-four variables emerged, which are grouped under Five constructs. These variables are presented by discussing the major conceptual issues associated with them, providing evidence of their presence in the cases and discussing how they were measured. These variables are then linked together via fifty-four propositions, resulting in a grounded model of improvisation in organizational settings. Additionally, the data show that organizational improvisation allows for a synthesis to emerge in two of the major debates on organizational change -punctuated vs. incremental change and emergent vs. deliberate change - by proposing 'punctuated incrementalism' and 'deliberate emergence' as legitimate and pervading change modes. Most importantly, the data also corroborate that improvisation constitutes is in fact a new theoretical model of change filling one of the slots Van de Ven an Poole (1995) left vacant when developing an integrating framework for studying change.

Full textA grounded theory study explored the elements of thriving among small business owners. Fifteen interviews were conducted and analyzed, resulting in the identification of personal investment as the core concept which explains thriving for small business owners. Personal investment is defined in terms of time, effort and money. This core concept is supported by the four subcategories of mastery, motivators, personal characteristics, and the role of others. These four categories are further explained through seventeen practical elements which drive thriving for small business owners. A model of thriving for small business owners is proposed, showing alternating periods of personal investment and capitalization on opportunities, leading to brief periods of intense thriving and subsequently higher levels of sustained thriving.

Full textNetworks are the connective tissue tying together individuals and organizations working toward shared aims. Increasingly, communities are adopting network-based strategies to collaboratively contend with society’s most vexing challenges and create lasting community change. This often occurs when addressing problems that are more complex and entangled than any one individual or organization can tackle on their own, such as education reform, affordable housing, or income inequality.
Individuals who assume leadership roles within networks—the researcher refers to these people as network leaders—must identify effective strategies to activate network members and unlock agency within stakeholders to empower them to contribute to a shared mission. This study specifically focused on research subjects who were professionally engaged as network leaders, and sought to uncover characteristics that network leaders exhibit and strategies that network leaders employ when performing their unique role.
The findings of this Constructivist Grounded Theory study center around the primary research question: How do network leaders catalyze collective action? The theory of network leadership proposed herein is derived from data collected from 27 network leaders. The model creates a framework for understanding the phenomenon of network leadership. The Phases and Critical Tasks of network leadership are moderated by the Network Leadership Core Engagement Process and the Network Culture, which is in turn influenced by the Characteristics of the Network Leader Profile and collaboratively developed Network Agreements . The theoretical model is grounded in the data and designed to be an accessible framework for understanding how network leaders catalyze collective action.

Full textThis study investigated how selected Australian universities evaluated and adopted various learning management systems in their teaching and learning programs, given claims of uncritical evaluation, problems and cautions in the Australian (1998: 13; Brabazon, 2002; Yetton, Forster, Hewson, Hughes, Johnston, Nightingale, Page-Hanify, Vitale and Wills, 1997) and North American (Berg, 2002; Noble, 1998b) higher education literatures. Ironically, universities charge large amounts of money teaching their students to develop competence in critical analysis, yet some studies have claimed that they were deficient in critically analysing their own decisions (Brabazon, 2002; Yetton et al., 1997). This important question has received little attention in the higher education literature, despite the high visibility and costs of these decisions. Although limited theoretical explanations have been proposed by various researchers, such as Yetton et al. (1997) and Brabazon (2002), these matters have not been the subject of published empirical research to date. A grounded theory methodological framework, validated by the insights of institutional theory, was employed throughout to promote broader sociological explanations than other studies constrained by functionalist theoretical frameworks (Yetton et al., 1997). Qualitative case studies utilising semi-structured interviews and document analysis were conducted at three Australian universities. The findings of this analysis were written up in three case study narratives and an analytic cross-case analysis. Semi-structured interviews and document analysis at the field level were undertaken as an additional source of data to verify emergent grounded theory. A grounded theory of uncritical decision making (Figure 57) was ultimately developed in response to this study’s research problem. The core category around which this model was developed (‘falling behind’) appeared in all three cases, in interviews with experts from the Australian higher education sector, and was also found in both the Australian and overseas higher education literatures. This grounded theory also represents a minor contribution to the institutional theory literature as a new institutional change process model which links the activities of key individuals with broader field developments, and integrates the constructive and reproductive assumptions of old and new institutional theory.
