Not a silly question at all - there are differences between qualitative and quantitative study's discussion chapter, although there are overlaps too. The principles covered here will maily be the same, thus you are still expected to comment on literature, as well as provide explanations and interpretations, if applicable - here, however, (I mean, in the quantitative study), you will be commenting on different things, understandably, such as generalizability or statistical analysis interpretation (as well as comments regarding the hypothesis if you had one). This is a very brief answer of course and there will be more nuances but on a very broad level, I suppose, it can be described in similar terms to a discussion chapter in a qualitative study
Can you recommend any literature on model building? I am doing Grounded Theory, I am a historian, and in historical studies I couldn't find good literature on that.
yes, like I said a lot of flexibility is allowed. As long as the structure is justified, you are the owner of that chapter so you can use it in any way you want
SImilar to the Implications, this will depend on the guidelines and what your institution allows. Traditionally, it is more common to discuss limitations in either the research design or the conclusions chapter, but sometimes people add it to the discussion, along with contributions and implications
Then it is much easier and more straighforward as to what to write - report the findings, comment on the literature. I have another video in which I mention this
what a wonderful teacher
THANK YOU!
Just right in time!!! Thank you so much for saving my life ♥
Glad I could help! :)
Thank you for the tutorial video
You’re welcome 😊
Apologies for the silly question but I’m doing a quantitative thesis, in principle do these ideas still apply? Thank you, great video!

can't think of anything but I think Charmaz's "constructing grounded theory" has a chapter about theory building (but not specifically model building)
Constructing Grounded Theory Kathy Charmaz 2nd edition
Of great use ❤
I really appreciate your guidance
You're most welcome!
DR. Kriukow, can one structure the discussion chapter according to Research Questions but still discuss the findings by themes ?
yes, like I said a lot of flexibility is allowed. As long as the structure is justified, you are the owner of that chapter so you can use it in any way you want
Thank you for this insightful video, can we adf thr limitations in the discussion chapter?

How how about when the results and discussion are in one single chapter? 😢😢

Thank you
Thanks!
in time, thank youuuu
happy to hear that!
