Grounded Theory is a methodology that gains systematic dimension through the method of analyzing theoretically collected data in studies conducted in the field of social sciences. In this methodological approach, the inductive reasoning model is used instead of the deductive model as a form of reaching a conclusion. Studies with Grounded Theory predominately start with a question, sometimes even only with the collection of qualitative data. While researchers analyze the collected data, they indicate repetitive thoughts, notions or elements, and these elements are labeled with codes from the data. As more data is obtained and the study is rechecked, the codes can be divided into notions and then categories. Thus, the foundations of a new theory may have been laid. For this reason, the Grounded Theory is quite different from the traditional research model, in which the researcher selects an existing theoretical framework and only then collects data to show how the theory applies or does not apply to the phenomenon which is analyzed. In other words, in cases where the existing theories cannot explain the result obtained in the studies carried out or are insufficient in explaining, a new theory is obtained with the Grounded Theory. In this sense, Grounded Theory appears as a methodological method that prepares the ground for the emergence of a new theory rather than being a theory. In this study, the methodological dimension of Grounded Theory is related to how it can access information; “What is the purpose of the research?/ How should the research method be?/ What is the role of the researcher - what should it be?/ What is the role of dignity?/ What should be the language of the research report?” will be discussed through the answers to the questions. In addition, the history and application of Grounded Theory will be reviewed, and it will be discussed in what way this theory can be carried over to the Sociology of Religion studies. As known, the main two scientific paradigms in social science studies can be referred to as positivist paradigm and interpretive paradigm. Indeed, these two paradigms have different ontological, epistemological and methodological characteristics. The positivist paradigm, which considers social reality equal to natural reality, employs quantitative research methods to access the objective, predictable, and explanatory knowledge of social reality. Thus, it emphasizes the dimensions of social phenomena that can be made tangible and allow numerical explanation. In this context, the positivist approach focuses on methods to measure and explain social phenomena based on assumptions derived from existing theories and statistical data. On the other hand, the interpretive paradigm recognizes the distinction between social reality and natural reality and strives to make the new reality meaningful, which is constructed by individuals. Therefore, it leans towards the dimensions of the social domain that cannot be conveyed through numbers and utilizes qualitative methods to gain an in-depth understanding of these aspects. The methods used in qualitative research aim to explain social phenomena within their natural contexts based on the ontological perspective of the interpretive paradigm. Grounded Theory, which it is trying to address in this study, primarily aims to reach this purpose by developing new concepts and theories. As such, Grounded Theory has become a frequently utilized technique in various fields of study, including economics, religion, education, and health research. Consequently, Grounded Theory is considered a broad working field and treated as a social analysis method. Despite some criticisms that it may ignore previous theories, not clearly express certain terms, and risk falling into empty empiricism, Grounded Theory continues to be accepted among social scientists due to its ongoing relevance. Grounded Theory guides researchers in their efforts to reach unique concepts related to the examined social phenomena. It is based on the idea of continuous change and transformation in knowledge, and the researcher attempts to perceive and interpret this change and transformation. In this regard, Grounded Theory focuses on the relationships between meaning and actions when collecting data from participants. By asserting that meaning is grounded through experiences and emotions, it aims to extract the ground through discourse. The resulting outcomes are then interpreted by the researcher. Achieving the goal of developing a new theory instead of testing an existing one requires systematic and detailed work, as well as patience. In this sense, Grounded Theory offers an opportunity for the study of Religious Sociology and provides researchers with a flexible design. Therefore, Grounded Theory has the potential to open up new possibilities for developing new perspectives and conducting more productive scientific research in various fields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
