Читать книгу Understanding Case Study Research - Malcolm Tight - Страница 9

This chapter seeks to provide an overview of case study as a research design (i.e. a way of pursuing a particular research project; the status of case study is considered in more detail in Chapter 3). Its five main sections consider:

 what we mean by ‘case study’

 how case study has developed over time

 how it is interpreted and applied in different disciplines

 the different types of case study

 the relations between research case studies (the main focus of this book) and teaching case studies.

All of these issues are discussed further, and illustrated by the use of example case studies from a range of disciplines, in the remainder of the book.
