Grounded Theory in Software Engineering: A Talk and Q&A with Rashina Hoda


Listen Later

Conducted live during a Senior Topics Course on Empirical Software Engineering at the University of Victoria, Sept 25th, 2020.  

Dr. Rashina Hoda presents a concise and clear overview of grounded theory in this recorded talk.  Her talk (after 36 or so minutes)  is followed by an interview (Q&A)  where Rashina answers, in a very thoughtful and clear way, practical questions about how she came to use grounded theory in her research, how to do grounded theory in a rigorous manner (and publish along the way), how to mitigate research biases, which coding tools she uses and why, and she shares advice with us on how to do grounded theory during this time of work/learn from home.  

Rashina's talk and our discussion was based on this paper:  Developing a grounded theory to explain the practices of self-organizing Agile teams. Hoda, R., Noble, J. & Marshall, S., Empirical Software Eng 17, 609–639 (2012). (https://link.springer.com/article/10....)
