Question

which of the following method of the data collection is not discuss in case study​

Answer 1

Answer:

Case study research is a qualitative research method that is used to examine contemporary real-life situations and apply the findings of the case to the problem under study. Case studies involve a detailed contextual analysis of a limited number of events or conditions and their relationships. It provides the basis for the application of ideas and extension of methods. It helps a researcher to understand a complex issue or object and add strength to what is already known through previous research.

STEPS OF CASE STUDY METHOD

In order to ensure objectivity and clarity, a researcher should adopt a methodical approach to case studies research. The following steps can be followed:

Identify and define the research questions - The researcher starts with establishing the focus of the study by identifying the research object and the problem surrounding it. The research object would be a person, a program, an event or an entity.

Select the cases - In this step the researcher decides on the number of cases to choose (single or multiple), the type of cases to choose (unique or typical) and the approach to collect, store and analyze the data. This is the design phase of the case study method.

Collect the data - The researcher now collects the data with the objective of gathering multiple sources of evidence with reference to the problem under study. This evidence is stored comprehensively and systematically in a format that can be referenced and sorted easily so that converging lines of inquiry and patterns can be uncovered.

Evaluate and analyze the data - In this step the researcher makes use of varied methods to analyze qualitative as well as quantitative data. The data is categorized, tabulated and cross checked to address the initial propositions or purpose of the study. Graphic techniques like placing information into arrays, creating matrices of categories, creating flow charts etc. are used to help the investigators to approach the data from different ways and thus avoid making premature conclusions. Multiple investigators may also be used to examine the data so that a wide variety of insights to the available data can be developed.

Presentation of Results - The results are presented in a manner that allows the reader to evaluate the findings in the light of the evidence presented in the report. The results are corroborated with sufficient evidence showing that all aspects of the problem have been adequately explored. The newer insights gained and the conflicting propositions that have emerged are suitably highlighted in the report.

Answer 2

Complete Question:

which of the following method of data collection is not discussed in the case study​

Options:

1. Questionnaires
2. Focus group
3. Co-relational method
4. Secondary data

Answer:

Option 3 - Co-relational method is not discussed in case study.

Questionnaires:

• The questionnaire can be used as a data collection technique to gather information for answering qualitative research questions.
• You could use a mixed-methods technique in any situation to resolve your research topic.
• But you should be aware of all the philosophical arguments around the use of several approaches.

Focus group:

• Should you decide to incorporate the focus group into your case study thesis?
• It might serve as an addition to the knowledge you gain from the case itself.

Co-relational method:

• When using a correlational study design, no variables are within the researcher's direct control or manipulation.
• The degree and/or direction of the association between two (or more) variables are reflected in a correlation.
• A correlation may go in either a positive or negative direction.

Secondary data:

• When conducting a secondary data analysis, a researcher uses data that has already been obtained by another person for their research.
• Researchers use secondary data analysis to look at a different angle on the original topic of a previous study or to try to find an answer to a new research question.

Hence, co - relational method is not discussed in case study.
