Mixed methods–grounded theory (MM–GT) has emerged as a promising methodology that intersects the value of mixed methods with rigorous qualitative design. However, recent reviews have found that MM–GT empirical studies tend to lack procedural details. The purpose of this article is to apply the “best practices” for conducting MM–GT in a study designed to develop and then test a theoretical model for how undergraduate engineering students develop interest in the engineering PhD. This study contributes to the field of mixed methods research by (a) illustrating best practices for MM–GT, (b) providing an MM–GT scale development example, (c) demonstrating how an MM-GT scale could potentially bypass exploratory factor analysis and proceed directly to confirmatory factor analysis for testing psychometric properties, and showing how a joint display for data collection planning can be used to strengthen integration in an instrument development study.

New Challenges

The software industry has experienced the integration of artificial intelligence capabilities into applications, facing new challenges regarding software development. Despite research and industry contributions providing lessons learned and best practices, no study proposed a reference process for developing this type of software, and practitioners still struggle to establish a working process. Through a Grounded Theory study involving practitioners with experience in machine learning (ML) projects, this paper presents an emerging theory of how ML-based systems are developed. The reported results comprise key elements of a reference development process with its respective phases and activities.

Social Communication Disorders

Purpose The purpose of this article is to explore and describe the approaches and specific assessment tools that speech-language pathologists are currently using to assess social communication disorders (SCDs) in children, in relation to current best practices. Method Ninety-four speech-language pathologists completed an online survey asking them to identify which of the following approaches they use to assess children with SCD: parent/teacher report, naturalistic observation, formal assessment, language sample analysis, interviews, semistructured tasks, and peer/self-report. Participants were also asked to identify specific assessment tools they use within each approach. Results Participants most commonly assess SCDs by combining interviews, naturalistic observation, language sampling, parent/teacher report, and formal assessment. Semistructured tasks and peer/self-report tools were less frequently utilized. Several established parent/teacher report and formal assessment tools were commonly identified for assessing SCDs. Most participants use an informal approach for interviews, language sampling, and naturalistic observations in their SCD assessment process. Conclusions Generally, participants follow best practices for assessing SCDs by combining several different approaches. Some considerations for future assessment are identified, including the use of established protocols in the place of informal approaches in order to make the assessment of SCDs more systematic. Future directions for research are discussed.

Provision Of Services

According to the 2010 U.S. Census, over 20% of Americans speak a language other than English in the home, with Spanish, Chinese, and French being the languages most commonly spoken, aside from English. However, few augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems offer multilingual support for individuals with limited functional speech. There has been much discussion in the AAC community about best practices in AAC system design and intervention strategies, but limited resources exist to help us provide robust, flexible systems for users who speak languages other than English. We must provide services that take into consideration the unique needs of culturally and linguistically diverse users of AAC and help them reach their full communication potential. This article outlines basic guidelines for best practices in AAC design and selection, and presents practical applications of these best practices to multilingual/multicultural clients.

Communication Needs

People with ASD often need to access AAC in situations where a tabletop digital device is not practical. Recent advancements have made more powerful, portable, and affordable communication technologies available to these individuals. Proloquo2Go is a new portable augmentative and alternative communication system that runs on an iPhone or iPod touch and can be used to meet the diverse needs of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) who are ambulatory and have difficulty using speech to meet their full daily communication needs. This article examines Proloquo2Go in light of the best practices in AAC for individuals with ASD such as symbols, visual supports, voice output, and inclusion.

And Function

The search for best practices in hearing aid fittings and aural rehabilitation has generally used the audiogram and function stemming from peripheral sensitivity. In recent years, however, we have learned that individuals respond differently to various hearing aid and aural rehabilitation techniques based on cognitive abilities. In this paper, we review basic concepts of working memory and the literature driving our knowledge in newer concepts of hearing aid fitting and aural rehabilitation.

Grounded Theory

Der Theorie-Praxis-Konflikt in der Pflege ist ein bekanntes Phänomen. Bisher liegen jedoch, insbesondere auf die Verhältnisse in der BRD bezogen, kaum fundierte Pflegeforschungsergebnisse zu diesem Thema vor. So wurde ein an den Methoden der Grounded Theory orientiertes qualitatives Forschungsprojekt zur Theorie-Praxis-Vermittlung am Beispiel einer innerbetrieblichen Fortbildungsveranstaltung zu Kinästhetik in der Pflege durchgeführt, das näher untersuchen sollte, was die Umsetzung von Kinästhetik in die Pflegepraxis beeinflußt. Die Forscherin hat dazu nach der Schulung mit den TeilnehmerInnen unter anderem halbstrukturierte Interviews zu deren Erlebnissen bei der Anwendung des Gelernten in ihrer täglichen Arbeit auf Station durchgeführt. Als Ausschnitt aus den Ergebnissen wird der Einfluß der Kategorie «Eigenschaften von Kinästhetik» auf die Umsetzung durch die TeilnehmerInnen an einer Fortbildungsveranstaltung zu diesem Thema dargestellt. Damit wird etwas darüber ausgesagt, inwiefern die Tatsache, daß Kinästhetik als etwas Praktisches, etwas Fremdes und Exotisches, als mit Nähe verbunden, schwierig oder riskant wahrgenommen wird, Auswirkungen auf die Anwendung des neu gelernten Wissens in der Praxis hat. Der Bezug dieser Kategorie zur Schlüssel-Kategorie «Einbau von Wissen und von Neuem» wird abschließend aufgezeigt. Die Ergebnisse der Studie machen deutlich, daß die ausschließliche Konzentration auf Wissensvermittlung der Komplexität des Umsetzungsprozesses nicht gerecht wird.

Hintergrund: Dieser Beitrag präsentiert die Ergebnisse verschiedener qualitativ-explorativer Studien zu Biographien von NS-Verfolgten mit Migrationshintergrund (Juden aus der GUS, Roma, Sinti und ehemaligen polnischen Zwangsarbeitern). Ziel ist die Erhebung der spezifischen Pflegebedürfnisse dieser vulnerablen Klientel im Hinblick auf ihre Abhängigkeit von anderen im Alter, wenn sie medizinische und pflegerische Versorgung benötigt. Methode: Semi-strukturierte Interviews auf der Basis der Grounded Theory wurden eingesetzt, um die soziale und familiale Situation der Befragten zu untersuchen. Ergebnisse: Die Angst, offen über ihre Verfolgungserfahrungen zu sprechen, ist das hervorstechendste Merkmal all dieser Migranten. In vielen Fällen hat das Trauma die Verbindung zu ihrer Umgebung gebrochen und ausgeprägte Gefühle der Isolation und Hilflosigkeit hervorgerufen. Obwohl sie aus unterschiedlichen sozialen Milieus stammen, gibt es eine Reihe von Verhaltensweisen, die ihnen gemeinsam sind und auf eine Verfolgungsgeschichte hinweisen. Zugleich enthüllt die Befragung ihren unsicheren Status als Migranten und ihr Leben in einer Gesellschaft, die sie oft als marginalisierend und ausschließend empfinden.
