Teoría fundamentada

Teoría fundamentada, or Grounded Theory, is a research method used to develop theories directly from data. Instead of starting with a hypothesis, researchers gather qualitative information—like interviews or observations—and analyze it to identify patterns and concepts. Over time, these insights are organized into a coherent framework, forming a new theory grounded in real-world evidence. This approach is especially useful for exploring complex social phenomena where pre-existing theories may not fully capture the context, allowing researchers to generate meaningful, data-driven explanations.
