A case study is the study of an issue
through one or more cases in a setting or context (a bounded system)
It is an object of study and a product of the inquiry
One case or multiple cases over time can be studied

Case Study:Definition and Background
![Page 3: Creswell Qualitative Inquiry 2eCase Study 1. A case study is the study of an issue through one or more cases in a setting or context (a bounded system)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bf851a28abf838c8734e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Multiple sources of data are used that
result from detailed in-depth data collection
The report consists of description of the case and theme development about the case
Case study research is interdisciplinary

Case Study:Definition and Background
![Page 4: Creswell Qualitative Inquiry 2eCase Study 1. A case study is the study of an issue through one or more cases in a setting or context (a bounded system)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bf851a28abf838c8734e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Single instrumental case study -
The researcher focuses on a single issue then selects a single case to illustrate the issue
Collective or multiple instrumental case study – The researcher focuses on one issue but selects multiple cases to illustrate the issue that can be purposefully sampled from one site or several sites

Types of Case Studies
![Page 5: Creswell Qualitative Inquiry 2eCase Study 1. A case study is the study of an issue through one or more cases in a setting or context (a bounded system)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bf851a28abf838c8734e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Intrinsic case study – This
approach focuses on the case itself because the case presents an unusual or unique situation (e.g., evaluating a program or one particular student who is having difficulty studying)

Determine if a case study is appropriate for
the research problem Identify the case or cases to be studied
What kind of case study is most appropriate What case or cases will be studied Select cases that show different perspectives
through maximal variation sampling Engage in multiple forms of data collection
including interviews, observations, documents, audio visual materials, participant-observations to develop an in depth understanding of the case(s)

Develop a detailed description of the
case(s) and common themes in the cases When using multiple cases describe each
case and themes first (within-case analysis) Compare cases to look for common themes
(cross-case analysis) Look for common assertions and meanings
within the case Report the lessons learned from the case
regarding the issue of the case (instrumental) or learning about an unusual situation (intrinsic case)

Overview of the study
The study described a campus reaction to a gunman incident on a mid-western university campus
The study began with a detailed description of the incident including a description of the city, campus, and the incident
The study used multiple sources of data

Overview of the study
Five themes emerged: denial, fear, safety, retriggering, and campus planning
The themes were narrowed to two overarching perspectives, an organizational and social-psychological response
A suggestion was made that campuses need to develop a plan to respond to campus violence

Overview of methodology

Overview of methodology
The data was analyzed for codes and themes The themes were used to form over-arching
perspectives that were also related to the literature
The case study structure was followed – the problem, the context, the issues, and lessons learned
The study included practical and useful implications
The authors were reflective about their prior experiences related to the problem (epilogue)

Features of case study
The authors identified a case for study The authors chose an instrumental case to
illustrate the problem of potential campus violence
The case was a bounded system The authors used extensive multiple sources of
data to provide a detailed picture of the incident and campus response
The authors spent considerable time describing the context for the case

Although scholars have shown thatsport is fundamental in constitutingand reproducing gender inequalities,little attention has been paid to sport and gender relations in later life. Inthis article we demonstrate how menexploit women’s labor in the sport oflawn bowls, which is played predominately by older people. (Boyle & McKay, 1995, p. 556)

A case study example (Asmussen &
Creswell, 1995) The authors posed five central guiding
questions in the article What happened? Who was involved in response to the incident? What themes emerged during the eight-month
period that followed this incident? What theoretical constructs helped us to
understand the campus response? The questions focused on the development of
a description of the incident, the emergence of themes, and finally theoretical constructs

The Central Question
![Page 16: Creswell Qualitative Inquiry 2eCase Study 1. A case study is the study of an issue through one or more cases in a setting or context (a bounded system)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bf851a28abf838c8734e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Description of the case and its setting
If there is a chronology of events, find evidence for each step
Determine how the case or incident fits into the larger situation
Approaches to analysis and interpretation Categorical aggregation: the researcher
collects instances from the data to look for issue-relevant meanings
Direct interpretation: the researcher looks at a single instance and draws meaning from it

Analysis Within the Approaches to Inquiry:
Case Study (Stake 1995)
![Page 17: Creswell Qualitative Inquiry 2eCase Study 1. A case study is the study of an issue through one or more cases in a setting or context (a bounded system)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bf851a28abf838c8734e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Approaches to analysis and interpretation Cross-case analysis: the research studies two
or more cases to look for similarities between the two
Naturalistic generalizations: the researcher notes what can be learned for individuals or a larger population from the case
