Grounded Theory is a qualitative research method that relies on empirical data and ‎contributes to the development of new theories in less-explored domains. This study aims to ‎examine various approaches to Grounded Theory and analyze its application in educational ‎systems. The findings indicate that Grounded Theory, through inductive methods, in-depth ‎interviews, and field observations, has the capacity to derive comprehensive theoretical ‎models from educational phenomena. The coding process consists of open, axial, and ‎selective coding, which facilitates the identification of key concepts and the formulation of a ‎theoretical framework. However, this method faces challenges such as the time-intensive ‎nature of data analysis, methodological discrepancies, and limitations in validation criteria. ‎The results of this study can contribute to the development of evidence-based educational ‎policies and the improvement of educational processes. Moreover, the integration of mixed-‎method approaches, qualitative data analysis software, and data mining techniques can ‎enhance the accuracy of analyses. Ultimately, this research provides a more comprehensive ‎understanding of Grounded Theory in the field of education and enables its application in ‎improving teaching methods and educational policymaking‎
