Abstract

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.

Odis Simmons

Odis E. SIMMONS enrolled at the University of California, San Francisco in 1970, and became an early student of both GLASER and STRAUSS after their seminal work "The Discovery of Grounded Theory" (1967) was published. SIMMONS got his PhD in sociology at the University of California, San Francisco in 1974. He has taught classic GTM to hundreds of students since he first started in 1971. His first academic position was at the University of Tulsa, Oklahoma. He then went to Yale University in Connecticut, where he directed the self-care program in the Medical School. From there he and his wife decided to take the plunge and move to the Northwest. After 14 years as a therapist, SIMMONS went on to a faculty position at Fielding Graduate University, where he developed his own program in classic GTM. He held the position at Fielding for 16 years until he formally retired in 2014. Following up on his teaching career, SIMMONS has written "Experiencing Grounded Theory: A Comprehensive Guide to Learning, Doing, Mentoring, Teaching, and Applying Grounded Theory," which was published in 2022. SIMMONS was a close friend of Barney G. GLASER until GLASER died in 2022, and he is a fellow of the Grounded Theory Institute.

She was a visiting research scholar at the University of California, Berkeley 2011-2012, while also working closely with GLASER. She served as an editor of the non-profit journal Grounded Theory Review (GTR) 2012-2018 and turned the GTR into an open-access journal.
