Case Study Research in Practice
Case Study Research
Case Study Research in Practice explores the author's practical and uniquely personal approach to the theory and practice of case study research. Author Helen Simons draws on her extensive experience in conducting and teaching case study research to provide a comprehensive and insightful account of the process of conducting case study that tackles common misconceptions and addresses the questions often raised by students. In four sections, the book covers:
- The rationale, concept and design of case study research
- Methods and ethics in case study
- Interpreting, analyzing and reporting the case.
- Generalizing and theorizing in case study research
Including examples and summary memos the author has created a dynamic text that presents readers with choices and challenges to inform the conduct of their case research.
This is an ideal text for students studying and conducting case study research in education, health and social care, and related social science disciplines.
excellent text for anyone at both undergraduate to doctoral level using case studies - Helen in a great writer
I see this book as an excellent way of filling a pretty major gap in the case study aspect of the masters' research seminar. This is down to the range of case-issues Simons deals with so lucidly.
A useful text that explains the cocnepts of case study research. Too much focus on education research
This is a very useful text for researchers and students interested in using case-studies in their research in the social sciences, international development, and related fields such as education and health.
I have recommended this as one of two essential texts for the course.
