QUALITATIVE RESEARCH APPROACH IN WHICH RESEARCHERS FOCUS ON A UNIT OF STUDY KNOWN AS A CASE
What is CASE STUDY RESEARCH
100
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP IN THE CASE RESEARCH STUDY PROCESS
What is DETERMINING THE RESEARCH QUESTION
100
MOST COMMON FORM OF SAMPLING
What is PURPOSIVE OR PURPOSEFUL
100
This determines how many, which particular ones you are going to study, and the rationale for selection.
What is CASE SELECTION
100
These findings are typically considered more compelling and robust
What is MULTIPLE CASES
200
CASE STUDIES CAN BE EXPLORATORY, EXPLANATORY, OR DESCRIPTIVE
What is case study UTILITY
200
These processes are not always linear and can be iterative
What is CASE STUDY DESIGN
200
THIS PROCEDURES INCLUDES REVIEWING DOCUMENTS, CONDUCTING INFORMAL INTERVIEWS, DETERMINING WHETHER THE CASE STUDY PARTICIPANTS HAVE THE NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE.
What is SELECTION OF CASES
200
THIS IS A COMMON STRATEGY FOR IMPROVING THE EXTERNAL VALIDITY OR GENERALIZABILITY OF THE RESEARCH.
What is MULTIPLE CASE STUDY
200
Subjective judgment used while collecting data.
What is THREAT TO CONSTRUCT VALIDITY
300
A process, event, person, or other item of interest
What is PHENOMENON
300
Single vs. Multiple case, or Embedded vs. Holistic
What is TYPES OF CASE STUDY DESIGNS
300
IN THIS TYPE OF RESEARCH, THE RESEARCHER IS CHARGED WITH SELECTING THE UNIT OF ANALYSIS
What is CASE STUDY RESEARCH
300
CONDUCTING THE INTERVIEWS AND OBSERVATIONS
What is DATA COLLECTION
300
Single cases offer poor basis for generalization
What is THREAT TO EXTERNAL VALIDITY
400
A particular instance of the phenomenon which is studied in-depth
What is CASE
400
INCLUDES STATEMENT OF PURPOSE OF THE RESEARCH, INITIAL RESEARCH QUESTIONS, REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE, AND A RATIONALE FOR THE SELECTION OF THE CASE.
What is a case study RESEARCH PROTOCOL
400
THIS FORM OF SAMPLING IS BASED ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE INVESTIGATOR WANTS TO DISCOVER, UNDERSTAND, AND GAIN INSIGHT AND THEREFORE MUST SELECT A SAMPLE FROM WHICH THE MOST CAN BE LEARNED.
What is PURPOSIVE OR PURPOSEFUL SAMPLING
400
RECOGNIZING THE RELATIONSHIP (IF ANY) BETWEEN TWO CASES
What is CROSS CASE COMPARISON
400
Case stusy tactics of pattern matching, proding rival explanations, and usinf logic models.
What is ADDRESSING THREATS TO INTERNAL VALIDTY
500
Aspect of the phenomenon that will be studied across one or more cases
What is UNIT OF ANALYSIS
500
THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CASE STUDies
What is SINGLE, MULTIPLE, OR EMBEDDED OR HOLISTIC
500
TELL ME ANY FACT YOU HAVE LEARNED TODAY
What is A FREEBIE!!!
500
This is the project plan, that delineates what you are trying to achieve and how you are planning to achieve it.
What is CASE STUDY PROTOCOL
500
Case studies help researchers gain an in depth understanding of a particular phenomenon, and develop new theories or initial hypothesis
