VIVES VARELA, Tania  y  HAMUI SUTTON, Liz. Coding and categorization in grounded theory a method for qualitative data analysis. Investigación educ. médica [online]. 2021, vol.10, n.40, pp.97-104.  Epub 21-Feb-2022. ISSN 2007-5057.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fm.20075057e.2021.40.21367.

A review was made about the main elements of the first level analysis of qualitative data from Grounded Theory. Its concept and origins are described as well as the circularity in the research process, the role of the researcher, the theoretical sampling, and emphasis is placed on the codification and categorization of data, which are the center of the methodological procedure to make the data manageable and generate a theory. This first level of analysis provides valuable information that, when assembled with philosophical concepts, ascends to a second level of analysis closer to social complexity.

Palabras llave : Grounded theory; categorization; coding; qualitative research.
