Resumen

Grounded Theory (GT) is a type of qualitative inductive research methodology developed by Glaser and Strauss (1967). It is a methodology for the educational field whose purpose is to construct substantive theories of the study realities with high level of ecological validity. The construction of these theoretical frameworks helps teachers and researchers to obtain a potentially profound and exact comprehension of the educational dynamics from an ecological perspective. Therefore, based on these theories, it is possible to design and apply contextualized action plans. Proof of this is the considerable increase in educational productions based on GT in recent years. Until now, there has been a lack of studies directed toward the analysis of the progress and current state of the research on GT in the education field. Thus, in order to offer synthesized information, this article presents a scientometric analysis of the productions indexed in the Web of Knowledge (WoS) impact databases of the Institute for Scientific Information, which includes the following thematic categories contained in the SSCI and SCI databases: Education & Educational Research; Psychology Educational; Education Scientific Disciplines; Education Special. The sample was composed of all the products published in journals during the period from 1975 to 2013, with a total of 688 indexed articles. The results indicate that the production is found in an exponential growth phase, confirming the statements of those experts who conceive GT as a promising methodology in the educational field. Furthermore, based on the results obtained, and using indicators of production, consumption and collaboration, the leading authors, journals and institutions are discussed, and international collaboration networks are shown.
