La teoría fundamentada desde la visión de Strauss y Corbin, como método de investigación en tesis doctorales

Abstract

The general purpose of this articles is to addres Grounded theory from the vision of Strauss and Corbin‟s (2002),as a research methodology in Doctotal theses. Which focuses on generating theory from collected data, rather than testing pre- existing theories. This research was carried out within the qualitative paradigm. A post-positivist approach influenced by Edmund Husserl was adopted, with a documentary analytical approach As a methodological tool, a mental map was created that guided the research process and allowed significant conclusions to be reached. This approach focuses on discovering patterns, categories and emerging concepts in the data, to develop a deeper understanding of the phenomena studied. Therefore, it proposes an analysis process that involves a continuous understanding of collected of collected data to identify similarities, differences and connections between them. Techniques such as open and axial coding, selective coding, to organize and relate information systematically, and theoretical sampling are used. In addition, special attention is paid to data saturation, that is, to collecting information until no new themes or concepts emerge. This is where the theory that emerged from the data will be written to defend the formation of the doctoral thesis.
