    This document provides an overview of case study research. It defines case study research as a qualitative approach that focuses on a bounded system or unit of study. The key characteristics are that case studies are particularistic, descriptive, and heuristic. The process involves determining research questions, the case, conceptual framework, and if a single or multiple case study is most appropriate. When conducting multiple case studies, cross-site analysis is required using various data management tools like meta-matrices, scatterplots, and causal models to compare sites.

    CASE STUDY RESEARCH

    SUMMARY

    Mike Okmawati

    Research Methodology

    Defenition
     Case study research is a qualitative research approach in which researchers focus on a
    unit of study known as a bounded system (e.g., individual teachers, a classroom, or a
    school).
     Case study research is a qualitative approach to studying a phenomenon, focused on a
    unit of study, or a bounded system not a methodological choice, but a choice of what
    to study.
     The process of designing case study research involves determining the research
    questions, defining the case, determining the role of theory development in case
    selection, determining the theoretical and conceptual framework for the study, and
    deciding whether a single case study, a multiple case study, or a collective case study
    is appropriate.

    Characteristic of case study research


     Case studies can be described as particularistic, descriptive , and heuristic .
     Case studies are focused on studying a bounded system or unit of study.
     Case study research is a narrative account that provides the researcher (and reader of
    the case study) with new insights into the way things are and into the kinds of
    relationships that exist among participants in the study.

    Steps in conducting case study research


    1. State the purpose of the research.
    2. Develop initial research questions.
    3. Review related literature.
    4. Develop rationale for the selection of the case (i.e., unit of analysis) including sample
    selection.
    5. Determine data collection strategies.
    6. Conduct data analysis and interpretation.

    Conducting and analyzing multiple case studies


    In educational research it is common to find case study research undertaken about one
    phenomenon but at multiple sites. These studies are commonly referred to as collective case
    studies, multicase or multisite studies, or comparative case studies. Multiple case studies
    require cross-site analysis.
     An unordered meta-matrix is a data management tool that enables the case
    study,researcher to assemble master charts with descriptive data from each site on one
    large sheet of paper. In a site-ordered descriptive matrix, sites are ordered on a
    variable of interest so that the researcher can see differences.
     A site-ordered predictor-outcome matrix moves the case study researcher from
    working descriptively/deductively to a more explanatory/interpretive mode.
     A time-ordered meta-matrix extends the crosssite analysis to include chronology as an
    organizing variable.
     Scatterplots are visual displays of data from all the case study sites based on
    dimensions or themes of interest that appear to be related to each other.
     A site-ordered effects matrix is used by case study researchers to sort through the
    research sites and to display probable cause-and-effect relations.
     Causal models extend the case study analysis and assist the case study researcher to
    identify how things go together.
