Definition of Case Study

A case study is a published report about a person, group, or
situation that has been studied over time.
If the case study is about a group, it describes the behavior of
the group as a whole, not behavior of each individual in the
group.

TYPES OF CASE STUDY

Exploratory : Case studies set to explore any phenomenon in the data which serves as a
point of interest to the researcher
Descriptive : Case studies set to describe the natural phenomena which
the data in question.

occur within

Explanatory : Examine the data closely both at a surface and deep level in order to
explain the phenomena in the data
Multiple-case studies : A multiple case study enables the researcher to
differences within and between cases.
Intrinsic : suggests researchers who have a genuine

HOW TO COLLECTING THE DATA

1. Varieties of Sources of Case Study Data
Direct observations (e.g., human actions or a physical environment)
Interviews (e.g., open-ended conversations with key participants)
Archival records (e.g., student records)
Documents (e.g., newspaper articles, letters and e-mails, reports)
Participant-observation (e.g., being identified as a researcher but also
filling a real-life role in the scene being studied)
Physical artifacts (e.g., computer downloads of employees work)

THE STRENGTHS AND THE

WEAKNESSES
1. STRENGTHS
The results are more easily understood by a wide audience (including nonacademics) as they are frequently written in everyday, non-professional language.
They are immediately intelligible; they speak for themselves.
They catch unique features that may otherwise be lost in larger scale data (e.g.
surveys); these unique features might hold the key to understanding the situation.
They are strong on reality.
They provide insights into other, similar situations and cases, thereby assisting
interpretation of other similar cases.
They can be undertaken by a single researcher without needing a full research team.
They can embrace and build in unanticipated events and uncontrolled variables.

THE STRENGTHS AND THE

WEAKNESSES
2. WEAKNESSES
The results may not be generalizable except where other
readers/researchers see their application.
They are not easily open to cross-checking, hence they may
be selective, biased, personal and subjective.
They are prone to problems of observer bias, despite attempts
made to address reflexivity.
