The book is a really good introduction to case study research and is full of useful examples. I will recommend as the definitive source for students interested in pursuing this further in their projects.

In our Doctor of Ministerial Leadership (DML), Case Study is the Methodology that is required in this program. Robert Yin's book provides the foundational knowledge needed to conduct research using his Case Study design.

NEW TO THIS EDITION:

• Includes 11 in-depth applications that show how researchers have implemented case study methods successfully.
• Increases reference to relativist and constructivist approaches to case study research, as well as how case studies can be part of mixed methods projects.
• Places greater emphasis on using plausible rival explanations to bolster case study quality.
• Discusses synthesizing findings across case studies in a multiple-case study in more detail.
• Adds an expanded list of 15 fields that have text or texts devoted to case study research.
• Sharpens discussion of distinguishing research from non-research case studies.
• The author brings to light at least three remaining gaps to be filled in the future:
• how rival explanations can become more routinely integrated into all case study research;
• the difference between case-based and variable-based approaches to designing and analyzing case studies; and
• the relationship between case study research and qualitative research.

KEY FEATURES:

• Numerous conceptual exercises, illustrative exhibits, vignettes, and a glossary make the book eminently accessible.
• Boxes throughout offer more in-depth real-world examples of research.
• Short, sidebar tips help succinctly explain concepts and allow students to check their understanding.
• Exercises throughout offer students the chance to immediately apply their knowledge.

TITLE: Can Learning about History of Science and Nature of Science in a Student-Centred Classroom Change Science Students’ Conception of Science?

KEYWORDS: Nature of Science , History of Science , Philosophy of Science , Reflective Writing , Course Dossier

JOURNAL NAME: Creative Education , Vol.9 No.15 , November 22, 2018

ABSTRACT: Nature of Science (NOS) covers the aim, development, criticism and explanation of science. This study examines the impact that studying philosophy and history of science has on undergraduate students’ views about the NOS. Studying the NOS helps students to understand what science is, how to characterize the nature of its practitioners’ activities, and what is the significance of the whole enterprise.It is shown that having students study scientific concepts through the eyes of philosophers and historical scientists, actively engages them in the process of inquiry and challenges them to increase their understanding of the NOS. This study showed that studying philosophy and history of science in a student-centered classroom had a strong influence on students’ views about the NOS in that many students changed their views about the NOS. Students who did not change their over-all perception gave much clearer expositions of their views.
