3. Eli (2005:195) “case study research primarily a form of
qualitative and interpretive research, although
quantitative analyses are sometimes used if they are
deemed relevant”.
Anne & Celia (2005:4) “case study means any detailed
case example a studied teacher’s pedagogy and a child
‘s learning history.
Cohen, et al (2007:253) “Case study investigate and
report the complex dynamic interaction of events and
human relationship “.
Patricia in Kathleen (2004:218) “case study research
can involve the close examination of people , topics,
issues, or programs”.
4. Shulman in Eli (2005:196)
1. case materials
2. case report
3 case study
4. teaching cases
5. case methods of teaching
6. casebooks
7 case-based curricullum
5. Patricia in Kathleen (2004:225) there are several
components should be underline in conducting a
case study
1. selecting site
2. Research Questions
3. Data Sources
4. Documents and Records
5. Interviews
6. Direct Observation
7. Gathering Data
8. Analyzing and Interpreting the Data
9. Writing the Final Report
6. THREE PRINCIPLES OF DATA COLLECTION
Yin (2003:97) suggest three principles of data
collection
1.Use multiple sources of evidence
2.Create a case study Database
3.Maintain a chain of evidence
7. Strategy. Yin (2003:15)
1.to explain the presumed causal links in real life.
2.to describe an intervention and the real life in
which it occurred.
3. case study can illustrate certain topics within an
evaluation.
4.case study strategy may used to explore those
situations in which the intervention being
evaluated has no clear, single set of outcomes.
5.the case study may be a meta-evaluation- a
study of an evaluation study.
8. PROCEDURES
Yin (2003:16)
1.Defining a case study question
2.defining significant case study questions
3.identifying significant questions in other
research strategies
4.Examining case studies used for teaching
purposes
5.Defining different types of case studies used
for research purposes.
9. EVIDENCE FOR CASE STUDY
There are six sources evidence for case study
(Yin, 2003:83):
1.Documents,
2.Archival records
3. Interviews
4. Direct observation
5. Participant-observation
6. Physical artifacts
10. The advantages
Adelman in Cohen (2007:256) the possible
advantages of case study can be presented as
the following:
1. Case study data, paradoxically, are ‘strong in
reality
2. case studies allow generalizations
3. case studies recognize the complexity and
embeddedness of social truth
4. case studies considered as products may form
an archive of descriptive material
5. case studies are a step to action
6. case studies present research or evalution data.
11. STRENGTHS
Nisbet & Watt in Cohen (2007:256)
1. The results are more easily understood by a wide
audience
2. They are immediately intelligible
3. They catch unique features that may otherwise be
lost in larger scale data
4. They are strong on reality
5 they provide insights into other, similar situation and
cases, thereby assisting interpretation of other
similar cases
6. they can be undertaken by a single researcher
without needing a full research team
7. they can embrace and build in unanticipated events
and uncontrolled variables.
12. WEAKNESS
Nisbet & Watt in Cohen (2007:256
1. The results may not be generalizable except
where other readers
2. They are not easily open to cross-checking
3. They are prone to problems of observer bias
