Abstract: Grounded Theory (GT) is a qualitative inductive research methodology developed by Glaser and Strauss (1967).It is a methodology for the educational field that facilitates the construction of substantive theories about the study realities with a 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 designed to analyze the progress and current state of the research on GT in the field of education.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 in the SSCI and SCI databases: Education & Educational Research; Psychology Educational; Education Scientific Disciplines; Education Special.The sample was
