ContextInvestigationResearcher
Stake (1995) Yin (2003), Creswell, J. (1998) Baxter, P. (2003)
WHEN SHOULD YOU USE A CASE STUDY IN YOUR RESEARCH?
A) When the researcher is trying to answer “how” or “why” questions
B) When the researcher cannot manipulate the behaviors of those being studied
C) When the researcher wants to look closer at contextual conditions relevant to the issue being studied
D) When boundaries between the issue being studied and the context are not clear
*Baxter and Jack, 2008
HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR “UNIT OF ANALYSIS”
Miles and Huberman (1994) stated case study as, “a phenomenon of some sort occurring in a bounded context. The case is, “in effect, your unit of analysis” (p. 25).
Determine what your case study will NOT be Individual, program, or process

ISSUES WITH CASE STUDY
How to collect data? What about external issues?
Poor and irregular definitions (Van Wynseberghe & Khan, 2007)
Ambiguity and lack of clarity ( Verschuren, 2003)
Little theoretical depth (Rule & John, 2015)

HOW CASE STUDY IS DISTINCT...
Study of a phenomenon in real-life context
Focuses more on the overall pictureIf a group is studied, the behaviors of the group as a whole are analyzed, not individuals
