In my current research project, I am using Case-Study approach to select social enterprises and in-depth interviews with respondents in those enterprises. Three level of coding as practised in Grounded Theory will be used for data analysis. Social Constructionism or Interpretivism? Which one of these two philosophies fits well in this research methodology?
Thanks Heather. Since I had posted this question, I had developed some clarity on this. In fact I have observed confusion among researchers in social constructive and social constructionist approach; whereas these concepts are different.
Every social research has an element of social construction but in your case with in depth interviews and field notes, interpretivism fits best though case research can be done with positivist approach as well.
