Purchase options and add-ons

This book presents a disciplined, qualitative exploration of case study methods by drawing from naturalistic, holistic, ethnographic, phenomenologic and biographic research methods.



Robert E Stake uses and annotates an actual case study to answer such questions as: How is the case selected? How do you select the case which is most likely to lead to maximizing what can be learned? How can what is learned from one case be applied to another? How can what is learned from a case be interpreted? In addition, the book covers: the differences between quantitative and qualitative approaches; data-gathering including document review; coding, sorting and pattern analysis; the roles of the researcher; triangulation; and reporting.

About the Author

He graduated with an M.A. in educational psychology in 1954 from this university. In 1958, he received his Ph.D. in psychology from Princeton University.

Then, an Associate Professor and Faculty Research Coordinator of the College of Education at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. In 1963, he arrived at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he assisted Thomas Hastings, Lee Cronbach, and Jack Easley in the creation of the new evaluation center, CIRCE, and in developing a program of research on program evaluation. He also became the Associate Director of the Statewide High School Testing Program. In 1975, he became director of CIRCE. He has been active in the program evaluation profession and has promoted an approach to evaluation methods called "responsive evaluation."

Case study research can be complex. This book really lays out the groundwork for how to look at the case study and even how to attempt your own case study research. Quite easy to read and provides a great foundation for case study research!

I only ordered this book because I was told I have to have it. Most of the time I find the books to be cheaper on Amazon than with the school or their book stores. Make sure you shop before using the schools to obtain the materials you need to complete your courses. This is a college book that I had to order to fulfill my class work. The book provided the information I needed to complete the entire task assigned by the facilitator. To most people there will be nothing special about this book. And I would imagine that if you are buying this book you are not doing so out of fun. Good luck in your future courses and positions. May all your classes bring you much knowledge.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is another "must read" for the academic qualitative researcher.
Reviewed in the United States on 15 November 2013
Verified Purchase
Two of the biggest problems encountered by Qualitative Researchers are, gaining access to interviewees and, conducting the interviews themselves especially, in Case Study designs. This book provides additional insights that will assist with both of these problems. It also discusses the major tasks of analyzing and, interpreting the data gathered from interviews conducted. Additionally, there are recommendations about increasing the rigor of a study by Triangulation. Data triangulation is a major tool in qualitative research so, in our opinion, the more understanding of the practice a researcher has, the better.
