Abstract

This paper addresses the research of the process of acculturation from the perspective of qualitative research (QR) with transformers purposes. Basis of qualitative methodology are reviewed, and is argued how it provides a critical and committed vision of research to give voice to silenced groups and allow culturally sensitive research. To illustrate the four steps that guided the study is used as an example a study on the process of acculturation in Moroccan immigrant population living in Andalucía. To analyze the narratives Grounded Theory was applied, which provided systematic process and generated as result a series of propositions, supported on the dates, of how the Moroccan immigrants experience acculturation processes. Finally, a set of conclusions on the contribution of the QR are drawn, limitations of the study are shown and is presented as line of work for the future the relevance of developing research with mixed designs.
