- Description
Description +
Now in a Fourth Edition, this how-to guide is an excellent starting point for anyone looking to begin case study research. The authors—all professors teaching graduate students in education and other professions—provide the structure, detail, and guidance needed for beginning researchers to complete a systematic case study. Improvements for this edition include more practical and detailed guidance for conducting a literature review, a more efficient and easy-to-understand reorganization of the case study examples, and updated citations throughout the text. As with previous editions, this succinct handbook emphasizes learning how to do case study research—from the first step of deciding whether a case study is the way to go to the last step of verifying and confirming findings before disseminating them. It shows students how to determine an appropriate research design, conduct informative interviews, record observations, document analyses, delineate ways to confirm case study findings, describe methods for deriving meaning from data, and communicate findings.
Book Features:
- Straightforward introduction to the science of doing case study research.
- A step-by-step approach that speaks directly to the novice investigator.
- Many concrete examples to illustrate key concepts.
- Questions, illustrations, and activities to reinforce what has been learned.
Dawson R. Hancock was associate dean for research and graduate studies in the Cato College of Education at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and is currently a professor in the Department of Educational Leadership. Bob Algozzine is a First Citizens Bank Scholars Medal recipient and emeritus professor in the Department of Educational Leadership at UNC Charlotte. Jae Hoon Lim is a professor of educational research at UNC Charlotte.

Doing Case Study Research: A Practical Guide for Beginning Researchers Dawson R. Hancock and Bob Algozzine New York, NY: Teachers College Press, 2006, 106 pages, $19.95 (softcover)
Reviewed by Peter M. Magolda, Miami University
During the past 12 years, on six occasions I have ventured away from my world as a graduate school professor to serve on undergraduate thesis committees. In these instances, the students were intellectually curious, knowledgeable and passionate about their research topic, carefully supervised and mentored by their thesis advisors, and committed to producing high quality work as they prepared to conduct their first original research study. These students shared three additional commonalities: they all expressed a desire to conduct qualitative research; they all aspired to present their findings as a case study; and they all lacked formal training in qualitative research in general and case study research in particular. As the designated research methodologist on these thesis committees, I struggled to recommend accessible primer texts about qualitative case study research that might quickly AND thoroughly orient students to this seductively appealing, complex, and often over-simplified strand of qualitative research.
I had high hopes as I began reading Dawson Hancock and Bob Algozzine's Doing Case Study Research: A Practical Guide for Beginning Researchers. I wanted this 13-chapter self-described "how to" text to be both reader-friendly and thorough, thus filling this void in the professional literature. The good news is that Doing Case Study Research is a highly accessible introductory text and a very quick read. The bad news is that it lacks depth and a theoretical foundation. The authors privilege breadth and simplicity rather than depth and complexity. Complexities and dilemmas that are inevitable in every qualitative case study are neither acknowledged nor discussed.
Despite this tepid endorsement, Doing Case Study Research has numerous assets. First, the book's focus is novel. It augments the over-abundance of qualitative inquiry texts that at best offer brief, perfunctory discussions about case study research. The...

Editorial Reviews
"A highly accessible introductory text and a very quick read…Hancock and Algozzine are pedagogically savvy when introducing readers to case study research."
― Journal of College Student Development
"Exceptionally well organized and presented, Doing Case Study Research is unreservedly recommended for community and academic library Study Skills Improvement collections."
― Midwest Book Review
"Doing Case Study Research provides a practical resource for beginning researchers who want a prescriptive step by step guide."
― Teachers College Record
“While this comprehensive, basic research tool is intended for doing case study research, the book also includes work on research foundations, stages of doing research, and putting it all together. It is most applicable to a range of research designs, other than case studies.” ― Terry Cicchelli , professor emerita, Fordham University
"Hancock and Algozzine have written the ‘go-to’ book on case study research. They start out with how case studies fit in with the continuum of qualitative and quantitative research, walk the reader through the stages and methods of case study research, and tie it all together with the “how-to” of preparing proposals and disseminating the results. Each chapter of this easy-to-read text ends with a set of content review questions and activities that guide the reader through applying the material. Doing Case Study Research: A Practical Guide for Beginning Researchers is an essential resource for graduate students and professors working with case study research." ― William Owings , professor, Educational Leadership at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia.
