This document discusses case studies, providing definitions, benefits, drawbacks, and tips for writing case studies. It notes that case studies provide detailed observations of individuals or organizations to gain insights. They can produce more detailed pictures than other methods and help generate hypotheses, but the subjects may not be representative. There are two types - factual cases about real situations and fictional cases that use hypothetical scenarios. The document outlines advantages and disadvantages of each type and provides formatting guidelines for writing case studies.

Published by Dr.S.L.Riyas This guide examines case studies, a form of qualitative descriptive research that is used to look at individuals, a small group of participants, or a group as a whole. Researchers collect data about participants using participant and direct observations, interviews, protocols, tests, examinations of records, and collections of writing samples. Starting with a definition of the case study, the guide moves to a brief history of this research method. Using several well documented case studies, the guide then looks at applications and methods including data collection and analysis. A discussion of ways to handle validity, reliability, and generalizability follows, with special attention to case studies as they are applied to composition studies. Finally, this guide examines the strengths and weaknesses of case studies.

Case Studies Guidelines What is a Case Study: Case studies are stories. They are formatted in such a way that at a glance one could easily determine the “issue” about to be discussed. We look to clearly address the who, what, where, when, why and how to ensure that we have covered the story in its entirety. If you miss one of these factors, you leave the reader guessing and questioning your report. In public policy & administration our case studies/stories are required to be fact based. Make sure your research is based on credible information. Verify, verify, verify. Make a mistake and/or be challenged on one of your “facts”, could create a host of issues. If you are found to be incorrect, the entire report is incorrect and your credibility is suspect. Cite your research appropriately. We call it an issue rather than a “problem” because a problem presents a negative image/connotation. Issues are not necessarily negative and provides the policy analyst with an opportunity to evaluate each issue based on its own merits without taking a position of negative or positive. What Does a Case Study Look Like: A case study should set up similar to story-telling. Do not write this as you would a thesis. You don’t want to put in a lot of “fluff & stuff”. Think of the reader as a high level administrator whose in-box is full of documents that require review. To catch this administrator’s attention, consider what he/she would be concerned with. The “issue” clearly delineated, then the people involved “stakeholders”, the positions (where one stands depends upon where one sits), of these people/perspectives” of the stakeholders and then a fact based well thought out “recommendation”. Use the first paragraph or two to set the tone for the issue under consideration. Once you have the reader’s attention then you are prepared to move onto your 4-step policy analyses. Why a 4-Step Policy Analysis: We use the four-step policy analysis because of its simplicity and its thoroughness. There are plenty of other models, some with seven-steps and others with ten-steps. It is not the number of steps that makes a case study. It is the report itself that stands on merit. Do not change the language of the 4-steps or add other language, as new headings could change the report and its intent. It is vital that you understand this foundation as it will be used throughout your baccalaureate curriculum. Learning to use this in both your professional and personal lives will help you with your decision making in a variety of ways. How Do I Begin: Case studies are complex and may contain a myriad of issues, stakeholders, etc. It is your job to select one issue and then to stay on course as you work through your critical thinking and 4-step policy analysis. Do not say there are “many” issues as this may confuse the reader of leave him/her questioning why you chose one issue over another. Chose one…. How Should the Final Case Study Paper Set Up: Use APA format when c.

An Introduction to the Case Study Method: Preparation, Analysis, and Participation* Introduction A case study is a written description of a problem or situation. Unlike other forms of stories and narrations, a case study does not include analysis or conclusions but only the facts of a story arranged in a chronological sequence. The purpose of a case study is to place participants in the role of decision-makers, asking them to distinguish pertinent from peripheral facts, to identify central alternatives among several issues competing for attention, and to formulate strategies and policy recommendations. The method provides an opportunity to sharpen problem-solving skills and to improve the ability to think and reason rigorously. Most cases depict real situations. In some instances, the data are disguised, and infrequently, the case may be fictional. Cases are not intended to be comprehensive or exhaustive. Most cases are snapshots of a particular situation within a complex environment. The focus of a case study is on a main protagonist who is shown at the point of a major decision. Typically, the information presented is only what was available to the protagonist in the real situation on which the case is based. Thus, as in real life, important information is often unavailable or incomplete. Because a case study describes reality, it may be frustrating. "Real-life" is ambiguous, and cases reflect that reality. A "right" answer or "correct solution" is rarely apparent. Although the case study method is principally used in the development and improvement of management skill and leadership ability, its usefulness is not limited to this field. For example, case study pedagogy is also used to teach medical diagnosis to doctors, classroom skills to teachers, and legal decision-making to lawyers. This educational method is useful whenever decision-making must be derived primarily from skillful analysis, choice, and persuasion. The case study method actively engages the participant in these processes: first, in the analysis of the facts and details of the case itself; second, in the selection of a strategy; and third, in the refinement and defense of the chosen strategy in the discussion group and before the class. The case method does not provide a set of solutions, but rather refines the student's ability to ask the appropriate questions and to make decisions based upon his or her answers to those questions. * This note was prepared by Sharon A. McDade, Director of the Institute for Educational Management. It was based in part on information included in similar notes on the case method from the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration, the Institute for Educational Management, and the Institute for Management of Lifelong Education. Copyright © 1988 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College. Preparation The case study method is demanding and requires significant preparation time. It is intended to build on experiences of the cla.

Research Paper Decide on any important Criminal Justice topi.docx

eleanorg1

Research Paper Decide on any important Criminal Justice topic or issue (In this case I chose Domestic Violence) (PTSD) Research and read several recent peer-reviewed articles on the topic and think of potential research questions Introduction: Introduce the topic and issue · History; context · Why is this criminal justice issue important? · Are there unanswered questions and/or more research needed? Is there call for policy reform (a problem)? · Identify the purpose of your research: significance and/or relevance Literature Review: What is the current peer-reviewed literature? Tell a “story”, not a list of findings · What have other people done about this or similar questions · Tell a story: discuss the themes/agreements, discontinuities, breaks, disagreements, controversy etc. Emerging in recent literature about the topic . Only use quality sources and link them together : Google Scholar, journals from JJAY Library (a minimum of 5-10 peer-reviewed sources) · Key words and concepts relevant to the topic/question · Relevant theory The literature review is a major contributor to the development of your project. It helps shape your question by enabling you to find out what has already been done. Weave together their contributions into a narrative (a story). Use the Literature Prep assignment (assignment 5) as a tool to help organize your thoughts and identify themes, contrasting thoughts, etc . (I will attach assignment #5 as a guideline) Decide and Define the Research Question: What question needs to be answered that has not yet been answered by someone else. · Make sure it is not too broad, not too difficult or unanswerable and in the context of the literature search and review. Is it feasible? · State the research question precisely – your research will attempt to answer the question you pose · 4 Kinds of questions that can form: 1 . What is the situation? 2 . What is going on here? 3 . What is related to what? 4 . What happens when…? Methodology and Research Design: Your “plan” for the research…How you are going to answer your research question. Decide on the best and most appropriate way to accomplish this. You will be discussing which methods you will use and why. This should relate back to the purpose of the research and your question. Sampling Strategy: obtaining a portion of the larger population (total number of all possible individuals relating to a specific topic which could be included in the study) who will participate in the research. · Identify the population for the study: who (or what) to be studied. The group (or institution) that needs to be researched to answer the question · Decide on sampling methodology: how are you going to get a sample of that population · Identify the exact procedure to obtain the sample (individuals participating in the study) · Includes: criteria an individual needs to have to be able to participate in this research, identifying potential participants, ga.

Framework for Case Analysis (Adapted from the original document .docx

shericehewat

Framework for Case Analysis (Adapted from the original document published by the UMass College of Management) Part I – Analyzing a Case What is this document? You will be asked throughout your Graduate experience to analyze cases. Because there are many ways to approach cases, the CM faculty has agreed upon a framework for case analysis that you will be asked to learn in MGT 650. This framework will help you throughout your Graduate experience in thinking about cases as well as in preparing written reports. UC Note: The SL and DEL curricula are not “case-based.” This document is intended to illustrate and explain my two-step case study assignment. My notes appear in bold blue font throughout. What is a case? A case is a story---usually a true story, but not always---that illustrates business and management theories and concepts you are studying in a course and/or presents a problem or series of problems for you to solve. A case usually ends with a dilemma or critical issue faced by a particular character or organization depicted in the case. Sometimes a case will be accompanied by a set of questions, usually theory-based, that your instructor expects you to answer. Some questions will be devoted to figuring out the problems imbedded in the case and the causes of those problems; others will ask you to determine a course of action to take in the future. These questions will be provided between steps one and two. More complex cases usually contain a variety of types of information, e.g. industry and economic data, financial reports, policies and procedures, market share and pricing data, descriptions of personnel and other resources, job descriptions, individual perceptions, and dialogue. Due to their complex nature, these cases demand your careful, sustained attention; indeed, each case contains subtleties that are likely to be discerned only by several re-readings and discussions with other students. Why do professors ask students in the Graduate Programs to analyze cases? Through the process of analyzing cases, professors believe that Graduate students can learn the value of: [1] responding actively and constructively to the conflicts of organizational life by: suspending judgment about personalities as well as about courses of action; differentiating between facts and opinions; graciously giving up an opinion if it is shown to be inadequate; integrating what one learns through discussions with others in order to progress in one’s own thinking; examining the total situation rather than focusing on the most obvious or pressing elements of that situation; gaining multiple perspectives on a situation by using theory, concepts and research findings; understanding the continually evolving interrelationships among the factors in a situation; acknowledging what is not known or understood by the student analyst about a situation; explicitly assessing and acknowledging the degree of confidence the student analyst is able to have in what ...

One of the greatest challenges faced by researchers is resource and time constraints. This makes it difficult to involve the entire population of interest and so researchers only use a subset of a population to represent the whole population. This is called a sample. The use of samples however involves other big class of problems: given that your measurements are credible, how much of the world do they represent? How far can you generalize the results of your research? The answer depends, first, on the kind of data in which you are interested. There are two kinds of data of interest to social scientists: individual attribute data and cultural data. These two kinds require different approaches to sampling and that is the focus of this week.

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara

Balvir Singh

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup. The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Sandy Millin

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024 Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error. Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials. This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
