Increasing the Believability of Case Study Reports.
Bachor, Dan G.
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v48 n1 p20-29 Spr 2002
Guidelines are proposed to ensure rigor in case studies. Problem representation should be clear and consistent with the original intent of the research. The reader should be able to determine how the evidence was interpreted, conclusions reached, and judgments made. To increase the believability of the case study, the underlying assumptions must be revealed. (Contains 35 references.) (TD)
