Összefoglaló	Field-based constructivist grounded theory integrates Kathy Charmaz's constructivist grounded theory with active fieldwork in natural settings. Rather than relying solely on retrospective interviews, the researcher enters the participants' world — observing, interacting, and collecting data where social processes unfold — while simultaneously coding and building theory. The result is a grounded substantive theory that is both empirically anchored in real contexts and epistemologically co-constructed between researcher and participants.	Ethnography is a qualitative research tradition in which a researcher immerses themselves in a social group or community over an extended period — typically three to six months or longer — to study its culture, values, and behaviours in their natural setting. Originating in social and cultural anthropology, and consolidated as a rigorous method by Bronisław Malinowski in the early twentieth century, ethnography produces rich, contextualised accounts of how people live, work, and make meaning together.
