Summary
A case study is a research method that explores an event or phenomenon in depth. Students learn the steps to create a case study, from developing a research question to publishing the findings.
Developing a research question
A research question guides a case study. It should be specific and suitable for scientific or modern research methods. Different types of case studies serve different purposes.
Mapping out the case study
A case study needs a clear protocol. This includes setting a purpose, deciding on data collection methods, and planning the analysis. Multiple data collection methods strengthen a case study.
Creating interview or research questions
Interview or research questions should explore parts of the main research question. They should not be answerable with a simple yes or no, unless confirming identity or participation.
Collecting and analyzing data
Data collection takes time. Data should be gathered in one place and analyzed systematically. If working with others, assign sections to ensure the case study flows well.
