Abstract

This academic article studied history of the Grounded Theory method, including the works of scholars during different periods related to this method, and also studied the methodological influence of Grounded Theory, as well as important moments that affected the development of the concept. At the same time, it pointed out the important characteristics of Grounded Theory in the investigation of knowledge. This makes grounded theory different from other qualitative research methods in social science research. In addition, this article focused on controversies related to strengths, weaknesses, and challenges of Grounded Theory in order to think and rais questions leading to the development of an effective research model in the investigation of knowledge further
