What approach does it correspond to when we put the codes under the existing themes related to those codes and our research interest?
Hi,
In my current research, I have created codes according to the feedback received from the participants and sub categorized them. Although I haven’t fully categorized and selected themes, instead of that I’m considering putting the codes (as per the questions) under the related themes.
Â
These themes are based on the areas we want to investigate and the purpose of the research.
Â
I think that this corresponds to the deductive approach, but I am not too sure. Please if anyone can tell, it will be really helpful.
Â
Thank you.

Basically, both induction and dedication are displayed by the grounded theory in a cyclical pattern. Induction is a part of the process during which data is collected and then, the process of grouping and patterning begins through comparative analysis. After this, when the patterns are required to be interpreted and explained, it is known as deduction.
Â
In order to refine the emerging theory and to continue the process of induction and deduction for substantiating the explanation, theoretical sampling and detailed literature review are also conducted.

To be honest, there is no right or wrong way here and you can absolutely use the thematic alignment. Just make sure that the data has not been interfered with.

Open coding consists of the process where researchers analyse and interpret the data one by one, focusing on the small details and interpreting the results in a way that helps in developing the theoretical sensitivity for new ideas. It does not categorize the data in the already existing segments. Once the complete array of categories have been identified, the researcher moves on the axial coding. In this, the data undergoes another analysis.The data is again put back together in different ways in accordance with the connection drawn between numerous categories. Lastly, the researcher moves on to selective coding, where the closest categories to the core category are identified systematically. Core category is like the base of the emerging theory and thus, remains central to integration and interpretation.
