Grounded theory: qualitative research for the generation of new theories

Abstract

This article addresses the use of a qualitative method, data-based theory, as a research technique that facilitates the treatment of any study that is linked to behaviors, emotions and feelings, experiences, as well as the functioning of organizations and social movements. Grounded theory suggests the development of theories based directly on the researcher's observations. This approach was developed by Barney G. Glaser and Anselm L. In the 1960s, Strauss introduced a systematic framework for generating theories from empirical data. It is suggested that the method be applied by momentum until reaching the end, where the results will be reached. results that will be the theory and presentation of the research discoveries. This is carried out through a documentary analysis, since it is based on the bibliographic review of books, carrying out their analysis. In this article, we will delve into the basics of the grounded theory approach and explore how to apply it in qualitative research.
