Beyond ‘doing time’: investigating the concept of student engagement with feedback (2011, background): “For research questions relating to the third theme (Question 4), case study methods—which emphasise systemic relationships—may be appropriate (Gomm et al., 2000).”
The theory contribution of case study research designs (2017, background): “The case data can lead to the identification of patterns and relationships, creating, extending, or testing a theory (Gomm et al. 2000).”
