Description
This book offers new insights into the case study as a tool for educational research and suggests how it can be a prime strategy for developing educational theory that illuminates policy and enhances practice.
The author identifies several different kinds of educational case studies, including theory-seeking, theory-testing, story-telling, picture-drawing, and evaluative case study, with substantial examples of each. The book also develops the author's recent advocacy of fuzzy generalization.
With its focus on practical applications and theoretical development, this book is a valuable resource for educators and researchers seeking to explore the potential of case studies in educational settings.
