Qualitative case study research can be a valuable tool for answering complex, real-world questions. This method is often misunderstood or neglected due to a lack of understanding by researchers and reviewers. This tutorial defines the characteristics of qualitative case study research and its application to a broader understanding of stuttering that cannot be defined through other methodologies. This article will describe ways that data can be collected and analyzed.

Specific Learning

In this chapter, the authors report on a recently concluded research study of the nature of adult informal learning in two local markets in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Through case study research design, the authors explore what adult buyers and sellers learn as they interact in two local markets, who learned from who, and how they acquire the specific learning experiences identified. They examine the factors that drove learning and provide an explanation, a substantive theory of informal learning in the two local markets, which they name Communication, Value, and Profit (CVP).

Randomised Control Trials

Evaluating widening participation (WP) interventions is complex. Early efforts at WP evaluation were criticised for lacking rigour. These criticisms were accompanied with suggested approaches to research, typically favouring randomised control trials. Yet these recommendations have, in turn, become the focus of much discussion and debate within the WP evaluation sector.<br/> This paper presents the use of a 'mixed methods single case study research' (MMSCR) study design to WP evaluation. It describes the work of a PhD researcher evaluating the school – university partnership science outreach programme between the Wohl Reach Out Lab at Imperial College London and a local secondary school.<br/> The article highlights potential challenges when using MMSCR, namely in ensuring internal validity and trustworthiness of the study. Solutions to these challenges are presented and the case is made for broadening what is seen as meaningful research in the sector.

The Relationship

Despite the case study research method has been widely adopted in qualitative research, few scholarly articles addressed the comprehensive guidance on the use of embedded case study research design. This paper aims to contribute to the literature by demonstrating the use of embedded case study research design in qualitative research. A pseudo case was exemplified by exploring the relationship between a holding company and its subsidiary companies of a corporate group. What construct a case and the rationale for the case being studied is exemplified. The paper further outlines the research protocol, the procedure of inquiry, and the design of the embedded case analysis. A brief explanation of the context of the case enriches the understanding of the investigated cases.

Embedded Case Study

This study was aimed to discover the meanings implied in the texts of Tembang Gambuh written by KGPAA Mangkunagara IV in his Serat Wedhatama as well as its significance for the society. The texts were originally composed of 25 stanzas, but this study was limited to those associated with sembah (worship). This study employed qualitative paradigm which was conducted by using an embedded-case-study research design. Data was collected from informants, places and events as well as documents/archives or library sources. The validity of the data was tested using the data triangulation. The data was then analyzed by using a model of pragmatic analysis. The findings based on the pragmatic analysis suggested that the dominant implicatures in the Tembang Gambuh in relation to sembah were sembah raga (worship by physical conduct), sembah cipta (worship by controlled/mind conduct), sembah jiwa (spiritual/soul worship), and sembah rasa (worship beyond rituals). For the society, these four types of worship can serve as a warning and moral education that have significant values for someone to draw closer to God by performing worship in accordance to the guideline.

In this paper the authors propose a more precise and encompassing definition of case study than is usually found. They support their definition by clarifying that case study is neither a method nor a methodology nor a research design as suggested by others. They use a case study prototype of their own design to propose common properties of case study and demonstrate how these properties support their definition. Next, they present several living myths about case study and refute them in relation to their definition. Finally, they discuss the interplay between the terms case study and unit of analysis to further delineate their definition of case study. The target audiences for this paper include case study researchers, research design and methods instructors, and graduate students interested in case study research.

       This study aims to determine the marketing channels and institutions involved in the marketing of tilapia in Kupang Village, Lampihong Subdistrict, Balangan Regency, to know the structure of the tilapia market, analyze costs, profits, marketing margins and the price portion received by producers. This research was done intentionally by the census method and case study research design and data collection by interview. The results showed four marketing channels for tilapia, namely I: cultivators and collectors, II: cultivators, collectors, and retailers, III: cultivators, collectors and wholesalers and IV: farmers, traders, wholesalers and retailers. Market structure is monolithic competition. The total marketing channel I channel is IDR 11,000 per kg, the portion of the price received by farmers is 67.64%, the marketing cost is IDR 1,335 per kg and the profit gained is IDR 9,665 per kg; channel II's total marketing margin is Rp. 17,000 per kg, the portion of the price received by farmers is 57.5%, the marketing cost is Rp. 3,785 per kg, and the profit received is 13,215 per kg; total channel III marketing margin is Rp. 17,500 per kg, part of the price received by farmers is 56.79%, marketing costs Rp. 3,192.5 per kg and profits received Rp. 14.307.5 per kg; total channel IV marketing margin is Rp. 15,000 per kg, part of the price received by farmers is 60.52%, marketing costs Rp. 6,385 per kg and profits received 9,855 per kg. Channel I efficiency value: 3.92%, II; 9.46%, III: 7.88%, and channel IV, which is 16.80%. Channel I is the most efficient because the marketing institution is smaller, namely 3.92%.
