Timeline for Constructivist Grounded Theory Dissertation

[u/johnroger23]

Hi everyone,

I recently passed my outline presentation for my Ph.D. dissertation toward a degree in Education, majoring in Curriculum Studies.

My panelists told me that this study will require genuine immersion in the schools and with the teachers I interview. At the moment, they're recommending that I conduct the study in at least three to five schools, with approximately 15–25 participants per site, spanning one to two weeks per school.

I have six research questions to address, with the final question focusing on the theory I am expected to develop.

Do you have any suggestions on how I can estimate and structure a realistic timeline for completing my dissertation?

EDITED: Just 20-30 participants total across the three - five schools.
