what is a case study interpretation
2.2 Aim, structure and scope of the paper. This paper aims at exploring and discussing the possibilities of applying qualitative content analysis as a (text) interpretation method in case study research. First, case study research as a research strategy within qualitative social research is briefly presented.
The case study research method originated in clinical medicine (the case history, i.e. the patientâs personal history). The case study method often involves simply observing what happens to, or reconstructing âthe case historyâ of a single participant or group of individuals (such as a school class or a specific social group), i.e. the idiographic approach.
