Case Study

The presentation you are about to see contains


information about a specific research method in
education, CASE STUDY, allowing you to amplify the
understanding of contexts, communities and individuals,
but first we want to invite you to reflect on your existing
knowledge and beliefs about what you know about this
subject and bring it with you so we can have an
excellent experience throughout this presentation .

“To become an academic expert takes years
of studying. Academic experts are experts in
how and what others have done. They use
case studies and observation to understand a
subject”.

Simon Sinek

Back in the 70’s

Began to gain great prominence in the


UK and USA. The approaches had a
strong focus on the positivist model

Measurements and statistics

The major stands to look into matters


related to education

1978
Lawrence Stenhouse
Believe on the implementation of the case
study which he considered was useful for a
greater understanding with the communities

All throughout the 90’s

be valid all around the world

Robert K. Yin

American social scientist


known for his work on
case study research as
well as on qualitative
research
The defining
characteristic
of case study
research is the
delimitation of
the case. “The case is a thing.
a single entity. a unit
around which there
are boundaries. The
Sharan Merriam case can be a
person, a program, a
group, a policy and
so on”

Reflective case study

Longitudinal case study

Cumulative case study
These serve to merge
data from several
sources collected at
different times. The
idea behind these
studies is that the
collection of studies
will allow for greater
generalization related
to a single subject of
study.

Different people belong to a research group who work
separately and asynchronously with a
similar purpose. The data and evidence collect come from different
sources and may have different perspectives

Collective
case
study
https://www.ibiweb.org/category/case-studies/
Collaborative case study

Joined efforts to analyze a shared subject of study and a shared purpose brings
different data together to create a solid and broad body of evidence that is relevant
to different contexts.
https://learn.canvas.net/courses/83/pages/module-6-case-study-collaboration-2
A case study is a qualitative type of study and
investigation that is characterized by a deep
and comprehensive examination of people or
groups to solve a problem.

It’s an educational methodology because it shows


advantages at the time of education, because it
adapts to different ages, as well as different levels
of training, which aims to promote students
responsibility for their own learning.

It is a strategy of significant learning, so that


not only facilitates the integration of
knowledge of matter, but also helps the
research to generate and promote team work
or independently.
