Comparative Case Studies: New Designs and Directions extends the
comparative case study methodology established by Bartlett and
Vavrus and employed in many areas of social research, especially in
education. This volume unites a diverse, international group of
education scholars whose work exemplifies the affordances and
constraints of the comparative case study (CCS) approach and offers
new theoretical and empirical directions for researchers. In 11
engaging chapters, experts in comparative education, early
childhood education, peace education, refugee education, special
education, and teacher education discuss their use of the CCS
approach to produce new ways of knowing and to address challenges
of multi-scalar and multi-sited research. The first section,
Conceptualizing Cases and Case Selection, emphasizes the importance
of carefully selecting cases during different phases of research
while continuously reflecting on how these choices influence the
findings. The second section, Balancing Specificity and
Generalizability, addresses the challenge of balancing the need for
rich, deep data while including multiple sites. The third section,
Enabling Processual Analysis across Sites and Scales, demonstrates
the fit between the CCS approach and qualitative research that
unfolds over time and space. Addressing the Transversal Axis, the
fourth section, showcases research with a strong temporal
dimension. The final section, New Directions, suggests inspiring
and innovative methods. Offering rich methodological examples and
provocative discussion questions, this volume will appeal to
undergraduate and graduate students in education and research
design courses, and to scholars and policymakers in diverse fields
seeking to design studies of complex phenomena at different sites
and scales.
