Constructivist Grounded Theory

Constructivist Grounded Theory is a research approach that focuses on understanding people's experiences and perspectives. It involves collecting qualitative data, like interviews or observations, and then analyzing that data to identify patterns and explore how individuals make sense of their world. Unlike traditional methods, it recognizes that the researcher’s perspectives influence the findings, emphasizing collaboration and interpretation over objectivity. The goal is to develop a theory grounded in real-life experiences, capturing complex social processes in a way that reflects both the participants’ views and the researcher’s insights.
