Aim:
To describe how case study research (CSR) was used inductively as an all-encompassing theoretical framework to examine learning in the workplace.
Background:
Case study research is a method with strong philosophical underpinnings which provides a framework for exploratory research in real-life settings ( Yin 2009 ).
Data Sources:
A study of five students' experiences of learning in healthcare environments to explore real-life contexts over the course of two years. The study was rich with empirical data, offering a pragmatic framework for learning in the workplace.
Review Methods:
Observations, interviews and documents were used.
Discussion:
As a result of using CSR, the findings were analysed systematically and rigorously. Using multiple methods verified data and strengthened the significance of the findings.
Conclusions:
This paper focuses on the strengths of using the CSR methodology. CSR embraces qualitative research methods in a rigorous and systematic manner. CSR has been applied to one example of research, addressing each step of the research protocol to use CSR to its full potential.
Implications For Practice/Research:
CSR enables real-life settings to be studied systematically and rigorously, offering examples of practice in nursing and education.
