Study Methodology

Qualitative case study methodology (QCSM) is a useful research approach that has grown in popularity within the social sciences; however, it has received less attention in the occupational therapy literature. The current scoping review aims to explore how studies utilizing a QCSM help inform occupational therapy knowledge and practice. Electronic searches were conducted in April 2017, and the resultant 388 publications were screened by three reviewers in Covidence. In all, 27 publications met the inclusion criteria and were included in the scoping review. Case studies in the occupational therapy literature have explored phenomena relating to the delivery of intervention, theoretical concepts, clinical reasoning, and education and research methods and were situated in a range of different practice areas and contexts. QCSM is a valuable approach in occupational therapy research that contributes to the body of knowledge and theory that informs occupational therapy practice.

The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the phenomenon of alienation in physical education from the perspectives of children. Of particular interest were children’s perspectives about the three constructs of alienation: (a) powerlessness, (b) meaninglessness, and (c) social isolation, as defined by Carlson (1995). A case study methodology was employed with sixth grade children (ages 10 and 11), with a total of 14 children forming the unit of analysis. Observations, field and reflective notes, drawings and semistructured interviews were used to triangulate the data. The data were analyzed by employing a continuum of inductive and deductive analysis, using categorical aggregation and direct interpretation. Three themes were identified as representative of the children’s perspectives: (a) degree of control, (b) meaning, and (c) social factors. The results are discussed in relation to their contribution to the understanding of alienation in children’s physical education and implications for practice.

Estudio De Caso

La presente investigación centra su foco de interés en el estudio de caso de una práctica innovadora en Educación Infantil relacionada con el fomento de la actividad física como potenciadora del desarrollo cognitivo, concepto que representa una de las cuestiones más debatidas en la investigación educativa actual. Esto, unido al papel esencial de dicha etapa en el desarrollo y a la alta tasa de inactividad infantil, hace de nuestro tema una prioridad en numerosos países, pero para abordar esta problemática es preciso un cambio radical en los modos de enseñar y aprender. Nuestro objetivo es profundizar en el conocimiento de metodologías activas implementadas en Educación Infantil y descubrir cómo favorecen la práctica de actividad física entre el alumnado, instaurando hábitos más activos en las escuelas. Para ello estudiamos una experiencia basada en ambientes de aprendizaje desde una perspectiva analítico-descriptiva, empleando la metodología del estudio de caso junto con otras técnicas y herramientas de recogida y análisis de la información. Los resultados evidencian que esta metodología precisa de un continuo movimiento por parte del alumnado, tanto para acceder a las distintas propuestas como para realizarlas, por lo que parece oportuno considerarla como favorecedora de la actividad física y, por ende, de un óptimo desarrollo de las capacidades físicas y cognitivas de los niños y niñas.Abstract: This research focuses on a case study of an innovative educational practice in Early Childhood Education related to the promotion of physical activity as an enhancer of cognitive development, a concept that represents one of the most debated issues in current educational research. This, together with the essential role of this life period in children’s development, and the high rate of inactive youth, makes our topic a priority in many countries; however, a radical change in teaching is required in order to address this topic, including the implementation of active and innovative methodologies. The objective of this paper is to deepen the knowledge of active methodologies that are being implemented in Early Childhood Education and discover how they favor the practice of physical activity among students, contributing to establish more active habits in schools. To do so, we studied an innovative experience based on learning environments, and we investigated the way in which it encourages students’ physical activity from an analytical-descriptive perspective, using the case study methodology together with other techniques and tools for collecting and analyzing information. The results show that this methodology requires students to move continuously, both to access the different proposals and to perform them, so it seems appropriate to consider it as an enhancer of physical activity and, therefore, of an optimal development of children’s physical and cognitive abilities.

En este artículo se analiza el significado de los títulos de las obras de teatro más representativas de la dramaturga española, directora y actriz Angélica Liddell. Basándonos en una metodología de estudio de caso se analizan algunos de los títulos comprendidos desde el año 1991 hasta el 2018 desde una perspectiva hermenéutica. Cada uno de los títulos es tomado como pequeñas unidades de información, siendo analizados y clasificados en cinco apartados principales (relaciones interpersonales,contexto sociopolítico, rebeldía, muerte y familia). Estas temáticas configuran el universo de la escritora y adquieren unlenguaje propio y dimensionado al margen del texto dramático que encabezan. This article analyses the meaning of the titles of the most representative plays of the spanish playwright, director and actress Angélica Liddell. With a case study methodology, some of the titles from 1991 to 2018 are analyzed from a hermeneutic perspective. Each of the titles is taken as small units of information, and have been analyzed and classified in five main sections(interpersonal relations, socio-political context, rebellion, death and the family). These themes configure the writer's universe and acquire its own language and a new dimension apart from the dramatic text they lead.

This paper shows the principal features of merger control in selected transition economies of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), namely Hungary, Romania and Slovenia, by applying case study methodology. The presented findings are based on the analysis of Hungarian, Romanian and Slovenian competition law and merger rulings reached by the Competition Offices of these countries. A substantial part of the conclusions is drawn from a sample of 42 merger applications processed by the Office of Economic Competition of Hungary between 1994 and 2000. The results of empirical analysis demonstrate the considerable flexibility of merger control in the studied countries, its orientation towards the future of domestic markets and a close link with industrial policy. The paper also highlights the areas of interdependence of competition policy and transition and argues that merger control in the studied CEE countries may be regarded as currently adequate to the requirements imposed by transition.

Background: Wine tourism is one of the tourism components adopted as part of Portugal’s strategy due to its eminence as a wine producer. Such strategy has received great prominence in recent years and aims to promote regional development from an economic, social, cultural and environmental perspective. The aim of this study was to understand the entrepreneur profile in this sector. Methods: The study uses a qualitative, case study methodology with data analysis and triangulation. In this study, a literature review of scientific studies was carried out on the scientific knowledge in the area of study from a critical perspective and an interview was conducted where qualitative data were collected. Results and Discussion: The entrepreneurs have shown the following characteristics: initiative, innovation capability, optimism, creativity, creative energy, tenacity, selfconfidence, capability for long term involvement with the project, and learning capacity. Conclusion: The study shows that most entrepreneurs state that they have established partnerships with other companies, particularly with restaurants, catering businesses, hotel units, tourism companies and companies that organize tours. This is one of the factors of economic importance recognized by another study which enables increased prominence of the company and widens the value of wine tourism.
