Abstract This is an education research paper that explores the qualitative research method known as multiple case study analysis. It will review design, implementation and analysis. It will discuss in more detail what is meant by a case study per se.IntroductionAs Stake (2006) states, “Multicase study is a special effort to examine something having many cases, parts, or members” ( p. vi), which, through the study of these parts, is then able to better understand something as a whole and how it works in different scenarios. In other words, it attempts to explore and understand a specific issue or phenomenon, in its context, by examining the different parts, or cases, that compose it. The issue refers to that global or specific phenomenon which is the main object of study, such as a quintain (p. vi). By studying diverse data sources, multiple facets of quintain can be revealed and understood, as this ensures that the phenomenon is not perceived in a singular or biased way (Stake 2006). The Single Case Before proceeding with the work of a multiple case study analysis, it is epistemologically important to understand and recognize the importance of the single case, which is studied not only as a single entity, but also by in relation to its impact on the whole, as well as its correlations with other cases, under several conditions. This analysis will ideally facilitate the general understanding of quintain elements such as function and relationships. MULTIPLE CASE STUDY ANALYSIS 3Cases are chosen for their ability to provide a variety of perspectives on quintain. It is therefore imperative... middle of document ...... only conclusions supported by numerous cases will be included in the final report, which will diminish the situationality. Path III provides factors for cross-case analysis, which can be measured quantitatively, thereby completely eliminating situationality. Works Cited Creswell, J. W. (1998).
