Theory in qualitative educational research

When I started to learn "grounded theory" methodology. I asked myself "What is a theory?" as "theory" for me was a big thing and I felt it's extremely tough to create a theory... I digged the answer... It's always good to make it clear what your understanding about a term or a concept.

Theory in qualitative educational research provided by the British Educational Research Association (bera) raises some issues relating to theory as a term, a concept and an agent in educational research.

(It didn't say it's a grounded theory study, but indicated it's using Grounded Theory as a strategy of inquiry. I'm not very sure of the data analysis process. For me, it's more like Content analysis.)
