“Case Study or Case Report in Educational Research?” (Key Differences in the Two Formats Illustrated with an Example of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy)

Original language description

“A case study” (especially a qualitative research study) is confused with “a case report,” not only in the Czech environment. Even though both concepts are connected by the term “case”, they are different formats. While a case study is considered a design (method) of a qualitative research strategy, a case report is a short, usually non-research format illustrating an interesting or unique case from practice (most often clinical). Thus, all of the attributes set for (qualitative) research apply to a case study, as it works with empirical data, its analysis and interpretations, but a case report may lack these attributes. At the same time, different formats are applied for its processing. This paper summarises the methodological features and especially the differences between a case study and a case report in educational and other social science research, describes the possible methodological background and recommendations for their processing and finally illustrates the specific features using case report/case study approaches to the phenomenon of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The findings of the paper are suitable not only for researchers starting with the qualitative case study method in the context of educational or social science research but also for others interested in developing – or publishing – a “unique case”.
