Although much of the most productive research in applied social science is case-based, there is still concern about the restricted utility of such research because of its limited power to offer generalizable findings. Such concern has contributed to a recent trend in policy-making circles-particularly those in…

Case study research has become an important research methodology for exploring phenomena in their natural contexts. Case studies have earned a distinct role in the empirical analysis of software engineering phenomena which are difficult to capture in isolation. Such phenomena often appear in the context of methods and…

The case-study teaching method has a long history (starting at least with Socrates), and wide current use in business schools, medical schools, law schools, and a variety of other disciplines. However, relatively little use is made of it in the physical sciences, specifically in physics or astronomy. The case-study…

This article examines five common misunderstandings about case-study research: (1) Theoretical knowledge is more valuable than practical knowledge; (2) One cannot generalize from a single case, therefore the single case study cannot contribute to scientific development; (3) The case study is most useful for generating…

Case studies are an essential part of evidence-based practice (EBP) because they provide a type of evidence for clinical practice that cannot be provided by other types of research. Case studies demonstrate how (not just which) change processes operate to achieve positive outcome, and how these processes can be…

Over the past few decades, citizen science has proven to be a valuable tool for research projects by involving the public in large-scale data collection. This collaboration between researchers and volunteers has been shown to be highly beneficial, allowing for efficient data collection in shorter time frames than…

Microbiology education in veterinary curricula requires students to integrate complex foundational knowledge with clinical application, yet traditional lecture-based approaches often emphasize memorization over higher-order reasoning. In this study, we evaluated the impact of integrating clinically oriented, case-based…

Background Outcome- or competency-based education is well established in medical and health sciences education. Curricula are based on courses where students develop their competences and assessment is also usually course-based. Clinical reasoning is an important competence, and the aim of this study was to monitor and…

Case-based learning (CBL) is widely used educational strategy in medical education for assessing students’ knowledge and clinical skills. Despite its benefits, there is an ongoing debate regarding best practices for developing cases. This study aims to synthesize current literature on CBL to develop a framework to…
