In current literature, there is a wide-ranging debate on the most important epistemological and methodological aspects of the grounded theory created by Glaser & Strauss in 1967, mainly derived from discrepancies between both creators. Therefore, this article emphasizes on the principles and especially the procedures associated with this approach to scientific research. Theoretical sampling, constant comparative method and the generation of substantive theories based on the data obtained in the investigation procedures are here identified as the most important principles of the grounded theory. From a holistic perspective, we have summarized the procedure for the application of the grounded theory in three stages: microanalysis, coding and writing of the theory.

Keywords : Qualitative research; Grounded theory; Constant comparative method.
