- 5. Topic of the Day: CASE STUDY History of Case Study: Prominently used by physicians, historians, social workers, teachers, etc., as a learning tool: Through careful examination and discussion of various cases, “[researchers] learn to identify actual problems, to recognize key players and their agendas, and to become aware of those aspects of the situation that contribute to the problem. . ."

Topic of the Day: CASE STUDY Definitions of Case Study: an in-depth description and analysis of a bounded system. the collection and presentation of detailed information about a particular participant or small group, frequently including the accounts of subjects themselves. provides a systematic way of looking at events, collecting data, analyzing information, and reporting the results.

Topic of the Day: CASE STUDY Definitions of Case Study: Bounded system: a single entity, a unit around which there are boundaries Edge of the case Heart of the study The phenomenon examined must be bounded in order to be a case.

- 11. Topic of the Day: CASE STUDY 3 Characteristics of Case Study: 1. Particularistic: focuses on a particular situation, event, program or phenomenon 2. Descriptive: the end product is a rich, thick description of the phenomenon being studied. 3. Heuristic: the cases studied illuminate the reader’s understanding of the phenomenon under study - brings about the discovery of new meanings - extend the reader’s experience - confirm what is already known NEXT >> PREVIOUS << JAMES L.

- 12. Topic of the Day: CASE STUDY Characteristics of Case Study: Scientific Reliable Valid method It is the best method to use for diagnostics and further remedial teaching so very important for the teachers. It provides complete information about individual’s behavior his environment, insight to the nature of the cases of suffering personal, social, emotional, and educational abnormalities (e.g.: the movie taare zameen par (Every Child Is Special) is an example of studying a problem of dyslexia child and the remedial teaching done by Aamir khan his teacher.)

- 14. Topic of the Day: CASE STUDY Types of Case Study: Historical: The study of the development of a particular phenomenon over time 1. Holistic analysis and description from a historical perspective 2. Preferred when there’s virtually no access or control (i.e. an evening school for working adults in the early 1900s) Observational: The primary data collection method is participant observation supplemented with formal and informal interviews (i.e., the staff break room of an organization) NEXT >> PREVIOUS << JAMES L.

- 15. Topic of the Day: CASE STUDY Types of Case Study: Illustrative Case Studies: Primarily descriptive studies 1. Utilizes one or two instances of an event to show what a situation is like 2. Tries to make the unfamiliar familiar and to give readers a common language about the topic in question Exploratory (or pilot) Case Studies: Condensed case studies performed before implementing a large scale investigation 1. Basic function is to help identify questions and select types of measurement prior to the main investigation 2. Primary pitfall is that initial findings may seem convincing enough to be released prematurely as conclusions NEXT >> PREVIOUS << JAMES L.

- 16. Topic of the Day: CASE STUDY Types of Case Study: Cumulative Case Studies: Serves to aggregate information from several sites collected at different times 1. The collection of past studies will allow for greater generalization without additional cost or time being expended on new, possibly repetitive studies Critical Instance Case Studies: Examines one or more sites for either the purpose of examining a situation of unique interest with little to no interest in generalizability, or to call into question or challenge a highly generalized or universal assertion 1. Useful for answering cause and effect questions NEXT >> PREVIOUS << JAMES L. PAGLINAWAN Education 345_Summer 2014 Grad School @ CMU email me @ jopagz85@yahoo.com Contact @ 09267648151 DR. NENITA I.

- 18. Topic of the Day: CASE STUDY Why Use Case Study: To diagnose what the problems or issues in the case are, and why they have occurred, to consider a variety of solutions; and to justify what you believe to be the best solution.

- 19. Topic of the Day: CASE STUDY Why Use Case Study: Knowledge is: - More concrete - More contextual - More developed by reader interpretation - Based more on reference populations determined by the reader Depends on what the researcher wants to know 1. Specific “how” and “why” questions 2. When you have less control of the events 3. When variables are so embedded in the situation that they’re impossible to identify ahead of time 4. Uniqueness of the situation NEXT >> PREVIOUS << JAMES L. PAGLINAWAN Education 345_Summer 2014 Grad School @ CMU email me @ jopagz85@yahoo.com Contact @ 09267648151 DR. NENITA I.

- 23. Topic of the Day: CASE STUDY Strengths and Weaknesses: Strengths: 1. Anchored in real-life situations 2. Holistic account of the phenomenon 3. Advances a field’s knowledge base 4. Flexible 5. Contextualization of the phenomenon Weaknesses: 1. Difficult to generalize 2. Some say it’s too subjective 3. May be costly - hard to rationalize cost in a budget request 4. Some ethical considerations - financial - researcher integrity 5. Time consuming NEXT >> PREVIOUS << JAMES L.
