In axial decoding, the relationship between classes, content determination category was selected and studied based on the characteristics related to other categories, focus on research, repetition in data and abstraction as the central category of the present research. Then other concepts were categorized in terms of causal conditions, pivotal category, strategies, context, intervening conditions and consequences, and theoretically related to each other in the form of paradigm model.
In the selected coding of the theories, according to the identified concepts and codes, the final selection was made.
