Strengths And Weaknesss Of Case Studies

In this paper, the definition and description of what a case study is, what are some reasons for using a case study, what are some disadvantages and advantages of this approach? Also included in this paper I will talk about what are some of the ways a researcher can acquire information that can is used for a case study. A case study can be defined as a descriptive account of the behavior, history, and other relevant factors concerning a particular individual (Cozby, Bates, 2012).

On December 22, 2015, at about 6:20 pm amazon associate Girard Pedley notified James Weisgable that his car was damaged by another car. The case was then passed down to security officer Tatiana Kania to review some footage. At end of shift Girard Pedley approached his car and had noticed that a blue pickup truck’s bed was parked on top of his car. He noticed it and backed his car up to check if it was damaged. He saw that the tow hitch of the truck had made a small scratch and peeled off some paint. After reviewing camera footage; using camera C244 port 1 and camera C074, Tatiana was able to see that the blue pickup truck had parked at 4:03 pm. The owner of the blue truck had come in to the building at 4:05 pm. At 4:05:06 the truck had rolled

Collects numerical data that can be quantified. Research with numbers. Focus on measuring, collecting and drawing relationships through statistical analysis and experimentation.

These two Case Studies come from a National Center on Case Studies. I think that a case study approach is very useful in applying knowledge and this is what makes you learn it better. They may be a little daunting when you read them but I will help you go through them. Please ask for help so this topic becomes more enjoyable for you.

Case studies are one of the first types of research to be used in the qualitative methodology and repeating the study several times will lead to the increased reliability of the study (Starman, 2013). This methodology is appropriate because it will allow for data collection results to be generalized based on the theoretical propositions and not the population (Harrison et al. 2017).

According to the CMSA (Case Management Society of America) and several others organizations that case management alone means that it is a collective system that helps the patient and their family needs through the communication, available resources of promoted quality, and cost-effective outcomes.

“Case studies are stories. It presents a realistic, complex, and contextually rich situations and often involve a dilemma, conflict, or problem that one or more of the characters in the case must negotiate”,

It was my time to descend into the “data mine” or “go down the rabbit hole” to start the process of finding my story in the data I collected. Though I actually started the analysis as I collected the data (preliminary coding, identification of themes, relationships, and intersections), I remained hesitant to speculate too much about the story before all the data was collected. Whenever I did have thoughts or ideas of possible themes and relationships, I wrote a memo or documented it in my field log. I didn’t trust my memory to regenerate my ideas once I was ready to find out if the initial speculations were accurate. Also, I felt that writing

179). This is an important statement as it means the researcher needs to start thinking about how they will analyze their data before they even collect it. In order to properly analyze the data, the researcher should transcribe each interview and then compare it to their observations and journal (Badenhorst, 2008). When analyzing the data the researcher must keep in mind the research questions, and create themes through the data that relate to the research question. First, the researcher will analyze each session together, coming up with keynotes and themes from the observations, interviews, and journals (Anderson & Austin, 2012). Once that is analyzed, each piece from each session will then be compared with each other. For example did participants enjoy the program in session 1 but not by session 5? Why did this happen? Was the program too repetitive? Was it the same thing over and over? Was there a different instructor? After the analysis is done the researcher must put the data into a legible discussion

A case study is a specific instance that is frequently designed to illustrate a more general principle (Nisbet and Watt, 1984). Hitchock and Hughes (1995) further suggest that the case study approach is particularly valuable when the researcher has little control over evens. Case studies strives to portray ‘what it like’ to be a particular situation, to catch up reality and ‘thick description’ (Geertz, 1973) of participants’ lives experiences of, thoughts about and feelings for a situation. They involve looking at a case or phenomenon in its real-life context, usually employing many types of data (Robson, 2002). It is important in case studies for events and situations to be allowed to speak for themselves, rather than to be largely interpreted, evaluated or judged by the researcher. In this respect the case study is akin to the television documentary. Case studies can make theoretical statements, but, like other forms of research and human sciences, these must be supported by the evidence presented.

This section of analysis includes the way a researcher distinguish and incorporate the collected data and the reflections a researcher produces about this data. Codes refer most often to ‘labels’ or ‘tags’ for attributing units of meaning to the inferential or descriptive data gathered in a particular research study (Miles and Huberman, 1994). Hence, it is notable from the definition above that this part of analysis plays an important role in qualitative data analysis; it is mostly based on the translation and symbolization of data into meaningful units.

In reading the first article Coach Knight: The Will to Win, I found the article found Coach Knight to be very offensive and mean to his players. Coach Knight did not display good leadership skills. According to the article, Coach Knight’s drive and passion for excellence was not always received as well as his record of wins and losses Snook, Per low, Delacey, 2005).
