Strategies for Developing Family Theory

Abstract: Four strategies for theory development are examined after a discussion of conditions making for creativity. They are: axiomatic theory, borrowed theory, grounded theory and conceptual frameworks. Borrowed theory and hypotheses stemming from seminal concepts appear particularly useful. Family scholars are urged to become familiar with developments in other areas and encourage specialists in other areas to attend their meetings.

The aim is to develop a specific methodology to offer a therapeutic support to the families when they return home. Method: Over three years 10 families (36 people) have taken part in the art therapy study. After the therapeutic program finalized, the results were analyzed using a qualitative methodology and relate with the Grounded Theory.

Broaden the therapeutic approach to the family system helped the family members to share their experiences and personal growth after the impact of the childhood cancer.

La “grounded theory” como estrategia de construcción de teorías mediante redes

Abstract: The main purpose of this work is to characterize and describe, from a critical perspective, “grounded theory” as a theory construction strategy through networks and conceptual constructs; another objective is to present some theoretical and conceptual guidelines, principles and processes to develop qualitative research by applying comparative constant method supported by Glaser and Strauss (1967), whose philosophy is reach related theories from the reality observed, taking as a baseline its stakeholders phenomenon world. It is shown a methodological vision that includes some tasks while analyzing qualitative data such as codification, categorization, and theorization processes supported on ATLAS.ti software. Finally, a study case is presented, a case related to Characterization of Quality Management of Academic-Managerial Educators, who work on Postgraduate Directions |in Ecuadorian universities; this case was based on an emergent qualitative research.
