此篇文章針對近年來在社會科學學界相當受歡迎的一套計量研究－實證理論，提出一個易於理解、且非理論性的介紹。依循概略介紹到計量研究和實證理論的基礎，作者藉由自身探討台灣博士班研究生學術論文寫作習得的經驗，以說明實行如此較自然研究方式的相關過程。文章的最後一部分－附錄處，包含了許多常用來指導和報告計量研究相關結果的語彙，以及參考書目以供讀者們意欲更深一步認識計量研究方法論之用。

This paper presents an easily comprehensible, non-theoretical introduction to grounded theory, a form of qualitative research that has become increasingly popular among scholars in the social sciences in recent years. Following an introduction to the basics of qualitative research and grounded theory, the author draws on his experiences investigating the acquisition of academic writing among Taiwanese doctoral students to illustrate the procedures involved in carrying out this type of naturalistic inquiry. The final section of the article, in the form of an appendix, contains a glossary of terms commonly used in the conducting and there porting of the findings of studies employing grounded theory, as well as a list of references to consult to learn more about qualitative research methodology in general.
