Abstract(s)

Grounded Theory (GT) emerged in the 1960s as an innovative or according to some quarters groundbreaking or revolutionary methodological approach to qualitative research, fundamentally challenging the dominant hypothetico-deductive model of scientific inquiry prevalent at the time. Initially developed by sociologists Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss (1967) in their seminal work "The Discovery of Grounded Theory," this methodology proposed a radical departure from the traditional relationship between theory and empirical research. Rather than beginning with preexisting theoretical frameworks and testing hypotheses, GT advocates for the systematic generation of theory from data through rigorous analytical procedures, including coding.
