Case Study Design
Phenomenology

This design focuses on obtaining descriptions of the


subjects’ or respondents’ lived experiences either in
writing or through interviews. The goal of this study
is to analyze the meaning behind these experiences
for each subject, rather than generalizing to a greater
population, (Donalek, 2004 in Practical Research by
Cristobal, 2017).
