Comprehension about Research
A key responsibility of the work of a professional researcher is that of publishing research results. Researchers' writings always serve as a store of knowledge for the writer, but researchers also pen their findings because their peers and readers expect a standard language, form and style when reviewing their work. While it can be hard for beginners to write in a clear scientific style, the skill is trainable and can be mastered with practice (Michael Derntl, 2014).
When doing case study research, as one looks at past studies and reports, the researcher gets a unique opportunity to explore and understand some of the most complicated issues in society from differing perspectives. This approach can be viewed as robust approach especially when in depth and holistic investigations are involved. Case study is appreciated in many fields as a critical tool to the study and exploration of social sciences and problems such as unemployment, poverty, illiteracy, drug addiction, etc. (Zaidah Zainal, 2007). Evaluation of resources is an important step in case study research. Reliability is important and articles that can be considered reliable are those that have been peer-reviewed before they were published. going through their research, a researcher is expected to formulate a thesis statement. A thesis statement represents the inferences and concerns the researcher absorbed about the topic of study. It summarizes, reinterprets, and integrates data (Kristina Olson & C.A. Meyersburg, 2008).
Case Study as a Research Method
Case study method gives researchers an opportunity to examine data closely in a given context. In most instances, the method chooses a small group of people or geographical location as the subject of study. Case study has been criticized as being less robust than other...
A multi-case or single-case can be adopted depending on the issue the researcher wants to study. Where there are not any cases to replicate, a single-case design can be adopted (Zaidah Zainal, 2007). Publishers and editors usually expect researchers to present their work in standard form when submitting their work for readers and reviewers. The form can differ by paper type, for example, a survey paper will differ from a case study, but the building blocks always remain the same. Various components of a paper are also needed to aid in indexing. Parts like titles, affiliations, authors, abstract and various metadata are very useful and should therefore be included. The information in sections usually show how existing tools, methods and theory were utilized but it is also very valuable that reflections the researchers extract from the whole experience and the relevance to other research work in the area of study are explained (Michael Derntl, 2014).
Several case studies exist for case studies. They include descriptive, explanatory, and exploratory case studies (Zaidah Zainal, 2007).
1. Exploratory case studies look into any data phenomena, which is relevant to the cause of the research. For instance, one doing a research on the reading processes of individuals might make general enquiries such as, "Are any strategies employed by students when they read a text?" and "if that is the case, how often?" Such general enquires and questions make further exploration easy, as they are likely to open many possibilities for further research.
2. Descriptive case studies give comprehensive descriptions of natural phenomena occurring within a given data. When investigating reading strategies, such a study will describe the strategies being used and the instances they are used. What might be a challenge is the reality that the researcher has…
Qualitative Case Study AssignmentIntroductionThe qualitative case study serves as a research methodology that enables the exploration of a specific phenomenon within a particular context, utilizing various data sources. This approach examines the phenomenon from multiple perspectives, unveiling its diverse facets (Baxter & Jack, 2008). By investigating real-time occurrences within their natural contexts, case studies acknowledge the influence of the surrounding circumstances (Kaarbo & Beasley, 1999).A case study is a commonly
The more that your questions are descriptive or explanatory the more that the case study method will be relevant; How should I select the case to be studied?": According to Yin: "you need sufficient access to the potential data, whether involving people to be interviewed documents or records to be reviewed, or observations to be made in the 'field'. Given such access to more than a single candidate, you should
Sleeters (2009) research helped to indentify and address some important issues within the realm of education, and specifically addressed the challenges and biases that these teachers hold when developing curriculum for the students. The purpose of this article review is to account for the arguments presented in the aforementioned article and develop some independent analysis that can be helpful in applying the data in more a practical and localized fashion.
…Chapter 1IntroductionStudent truancy is a growing problem in the United States. Over the last twenty years the truancy rates have grown nationwide with the highest rates in inner cities (Jacob & Lovett, 2017). Research indicates that student truancy leads to potential socially deviant behavior in adulthood (Dronkers, Veerman, & Pong, 2017). Many students who are absent for prolonged periods are more likely to perform poorly academically, risking failure in classes
