The Use of Student Case Study Methodology in Program Evaluation. Research, Development, and Evaluation Paper Series No. 10.
Fehrenbacher, Harry L.; And Others
Physicians, psychologists, and anthropologists have developed procedures and models for preparing case studies that meet the needs of their profession. In the field of educational evaluation, procedures for conducting student case studies are not readily available. Although case studies, consisting of descriptions of exemplary educational projects, have been used in the past, little attention has been given to using student case studies as a basis for program evaluation. This paper addresses the purposes for using this methodology in evaluation, describes some procedures for conducting a case study, and illustrates the procedures and findings based on the use of this methodology in evaluating an Experience-Based Career Education project. A completed case study narrative is contained in the appendix as an example of the information provided by this methodology. (Author)
