Case can be categories as an event, process, problem, a person, or several people. Case study, itself is one of the qualitative research methodology that was introduced in 1900 years. Important about this study is it evolve a comprehensive or depth understanding of a case within a real-life (Yin, 2009). This type of approach may across many scientific discipline, especially social science, anthropology and sociology. Some scholar agreed that one of the advantages of case study is that it simplifies complex concepts. In this process, multiple source of information is involved; such as interviews, observations, audiovisual report, etc. These criteria contribute to a good qualitative case study since in-depth understanding of the case will help …show more content…
Identify of a specific group, either individual, a small group, an organization or may involve other level such as a community and a relationship will claim as a beginning step to proceed for case study research. Stake (1995) mentioned that researcher need to know the purpose of conducting the case study in order to identify between three types. One is called as intrinsic case (a unique case that needs to be describe in detail) and another is called an instrumental case. An instrumental case need more understanding since specific issue, problem, or concern involved. Both intrinsic and instrumental case studies, if the researcher can identify is a key to understanding analysis in order to perform a good study research. Third type is collective/multiple case study. The researcher focuses on an issue/concern, and then selects several bounded cases to illustrate that issue or concern. Finally, the researcher makes interpretations of the meaning of the case data and what should be learned from the data, called as …show more content…
Next, the researcher analyze the tragic event resulted the death of six babies in Giulesti maternity. This study considers as instrumental case study since reported a single case. The researcher focuses on a crisis situation happened in Hospital from Bucharest and then select a bounded case to illustrate that crisis. In this case study, they are not clearly identified the case in term of bounded system. No time of data collection is given. Moreover, their study is based on the information/documents published on the Internet showing that no multiple sources of information in data collection is used. The advantage of using extensive, multiple source of information can provide the detail in-depth understanding about the
What is a case study? A case study is a process or record of research in which detailed consideration is given to the development of a particular person, group, or situation over a period of time. There is many different types of cases; rape, robbery, arson, kidnapping and finally murder. Case studies lead to trials;a formal examination of evidence before a judge, and typically before a jury, in order to decide guilt in a case of criminal or civil proceedings. One famous case study that went to trial was Jodi Arias Trial. Her case was her getting convicted of brutally murdering her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander.
There are two types of research that can be conducted in research studies, these are qualitative and quantitative (Newman, 2011). Qualitative research is a process that uses detailed oriented methodology that tries to achieve a profound knowledge or understanding of specific incident and circumstance, wh...
Professor Lovelit upheld the School's policies when she found out two students had similar essays and had committed plagiarism. The disciplinary actions given to Reggie and Arnie were on point, and Professor Lovelit did not play a part in either of the student's failing grades.
After reading the article, First, Discover Their Strengths, the first thought that I had was how much all students, especially those with disabilities, would benefit from educators discovering their strengths and using those strengths to aid in developing other aspects of their learning. This is something that is not often practiced within the classroom and many students quickly become labeled in a negative way, those with and without disabilities. Because of this, many students are rarely supported in the way they should be educationally within the general education classroom. After reading the article I reviewed the information that I was to gather on a student and thought about which student would benefit most from

Director Moore stated there was a complaint to the Union against DOH regarding time issues. The proper channel was not followed. Ms. Jones explained the policy on earning comp time/over time when a person takes Medical Leave on the same day. It is not earned at time and half, but rather it is earned as straight time. Ms. Jones suggested more training on how to handle the timesheets since Ms. Mahoney left, especially when Ms. Arrighi is out of the office. This is especially true for whenever a person works on the weekends. An e-mail is needed from management regarding time worked on the weekend, as this is important on the Monday after payroll week ends. It was decided that in order to expedite payroll, e-mail Ms. Jones about hours worked
Hmm…. Really? A chance you say? C’mon, this is not a video game. We cannot afford to play games with this sensitive project.
The term methodology refers to the way in which we approach problems and try to find answers and in social science, it applies to how research is conducted, our assumptions, interest and purposes shape which methodology we choose (Steven, 2016:3).Qualitative research is understanding people from their own perspectives, their viewpoint and experiencing reality as they experience it. Qualitative research has many approaches or methods of collecting data and one of them is an interview which I have chosen to explain further based on it as a method of collecting data. The interview is the most common method of data gathering used in qualitative research and it is used in deferent ways by every main theoretical and methodological approach.
We have different types of case studies so far, these are; theoretical case studies, interpretative case studies, hypothesis case studies, theory-confirming and theory-infirming case studies and finally deviant case studies. Theory-confirming and theory-infirming case studies are analysis of single cases with the framework of established generalizations. The case study is a test of the proposition, which may turn out to be confirmed or infirmed by it. Deviant case analyses are studies of single cases that are known to deviate from established generalization. From six theories, hypothesis-generating and deviant case studies have greatest value in terms of their contribution to
I was drawn to the NYU Accra internship program due to the real-life application that it provides. The experiences that I will have will teach me about the cultural norms and values that Ghana provides. Through the intern and community involvement, I will be able to understand the diversity and complexity of West African culture. As someone of West African descent, having a first-hand account will allow me to have a deeper connection to my roots. Although, I am from of West African descent, studying in another country different from my own, will allow me to view African culture in a different context.
Case studies are a collection of data obtained using various methods gathered on an individual or group to record areas of interest in order to assist with analysis and provide recommendations. The study should include the name of the person, although this should be protected to provide anonymity where appropriate, and a brief description of the subject. The setting where the study is to be performed should be included. The aim of the observation must be presented along with a report of the findings. The type of method used will depend upon the subject and the area of interest. Data is gathered on the subject in this case observations were used to provide the data. An interpretation of the study will be made in order to provide a conclusion and recommendations made if applicable. Freud famously used the case studies that he carried out on his patients to develop his Psychoanalytic Theory.
The aim of this essay is to critically analyse a qualitative piece of an article using CASP tool, in order to attain a better understanding of the subject. A brief description about the qualitative and quantitative research methods and its’ importance in the nursing practice will be discussed. This essay also compares different types of evidence and the importance of that evidence in practice. Nursing research is the systemic inquiry designed to develop the knowledge about the issues that is important in the nursing practice and in the nursing education (Polit and Beck, 2006). In order to improve the standard of nursing care and to meet the health needs of the patient, all the nursing practice should be up to date and evidence based (Fowles,
In qualitative research, focuses on the data collected through observation into tables. It uses open ended questionnaires, and unstructured interviews, and case studies. Unlike quantitative research, qualitative helps the examiner better understand the individual and more chance of a truthful detailed answer than a scale of 1-10. This is an inductive analysis, to be able to measure what we observe. This research can give researcher a more promising and honest
...chniques and procedures among those associated with quantitative or qualitative research. A literature review, which included document analysis, was used to answer sub-questions one, two and three. A model building approach was suggested to answer sub-question four. In addition, the study uses a case study as a proof-of-concept. The use of a case study is a qualitative empirical study to strengthen the research validity. Since the research methods directly responding to the research questions (Literature review and Model building) make use of textual data, we classified this study as a qualitative study. Table 3.1 below summarises the classification of this study in terms of the dimensions discussed above.
