Tracking conceptual saturation in classical grounded theory using lead and link technique

This paper introduces the Lead and Link (LL) technique in tracking conceptual saturation in a classical grounded theory (CGT) study. The LL was employed in a study which explored how engineering students solve Physics problems. Six engineering students enrolled in Physics 213 (Electricity and Magnet...
