Doing Case Study Research begins with an examination of the scientific method (Chapter 1, Scientific Inquiry) as the context for exploring topologies and procedures used to conduct educational research (Chapter 2, Qualitative and Quantitative Research). The rationale and circumstances for conducting a certain type of research, the case study (Chapter 3, Setting the Stage), are followed by a discussion of how to identify literature that informs the research effort (Chapter 4, Determining What We Know). We then describe how to determine an appropriate research design (Chapter 5, Selecting a Design) and how to conduct informative interviews (Chapter 6, Gathering Information from Interviews), observations (Chapter 7, Gathering Information from Observations), and document analyses (Chapter 8, Gathering Information from Documents).
Doing Case Study Research. After describing how data are acquired, we discuss how to derive meaning from them (Chapter 9, Interpreting the Information) and how to communicate results (Chapter 10, Reporting Findings). Finally, we describe ways to verify, substantiate, and back up the results attained through a case study research effort (Chapter 11, Confirming Findings). Applying the steps examined in this handbook, researchers at all levels will be able to design and conduct a high-quality case study research project. Doing Case Study Research.
