Summary

Case study research has recently been positioned as a research approach which tends towards the atheoretical. The authors of this book build a picture of case study which illustrates the importance of ideas as a foundation for investigation, and which highlights the place of this research genre as a key component of educational research. This book provides a solid and accessible introduction to using case studies. It signposts and makes sense of literature in this area, and offers advice on how to generate collaborations and communicate findings. The authors bring together the practical and the theoretical, enabling the reader to build expertise on the principles and practice of case study research, as well as engaging with possible theoretical frameworks. With the help of this book, M-Level students, teacher educators and emerging practitioner researchers will gain the confidence and skills needed to design and conduct a high quality case study. Dr Lorna Hamilton is a Senior Lecturer in Education Research at the University of Edinburgh. Dr Connie Corbett-Whittier is an Associate Professor of English and Humanities at Friends University, Topeka, Kansas. Dr Zoe Fowler is a freelance educational research consultant and visiting Research Fellow at the University of East London.
