Case Study Research in Educational Settings
Michael Bassey
This text offers new insights into the case study as a tool of educational research and suggest how it can be a prime research strategy for developing educational theory which illuminates policy and enhances practice. Several different kinds of educational case study are identified, namely: theory seeking; theory-testing; story-telling; picture-drawing; and evaluative case study. Readers are taken through the various stages in conducting case study research, including a helpful account of data collection and data analysis methods. Each stage is underpinned by the concepts of trustworthiness and respect for persons.
