תקציר	In vivo coding is a qualitative first-cycle coding strategy in which the researcher uses the participants' own words or short phrases verbatim as code labels, rather than imposing researcher-generated or theoretical language. The technique preserves the voice, meaning, and conceptual priorities of participants, making it especially valuable in grounded theory, phenomenology, and any study where honouring the emic (insider) perspective is central to analytic integrity.	Ethnography is a qualitative research tradition in which a researcher immerses themselves in a social group or community over an extended period — typically three to six months or longer — to study its culture, values, and behaviours in their natural setting. Originating in social and cultural anthropology, and consolidated as a rigorous method by Bronisław Malinowski in the early twentieth century, ethnography produces rich, contextualised accounts of how people live, work, and make meaning together.	Grounded Theory (GT) is a systematic qualitative research methodology in which theory emerges directly from data through iterative analysis, rather than being imposed before data collection. Developed by Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss in 1967, GT prioritizes generating explanatory frameworks grounded in evidence.
