“…But, the idea that one can arrive at a context-free generalization in educational research is questionable (Johnson and Onwuegbuzie 2004). It may be more fruitful to consider particularization of the case-the extent to which sufficient detail was provided about content so that readers can determine if the lessons learned in the study apply to a new context of interest (Eisenhart 2009;Stake 1978). From this perspective, it is important to note that half of the students lived on farms and this study was conducted in a rural setting in the Intermountain west of the USA-a desert region.…”

A common way for students to develop scientific argumentation abilities is through argumentation about socioscientific issues, defined as scientific problems with social, ethical, and moral aspects. Computer-based scaffolding can support students in this process. In this mixed method study, we examined the use and impact of computer based scaffolding to support middle school students' creation of evidence-based arguments during a 3-week problem-based learning unit focused on the water quality of a local river. We found a significant and substantial impact on the argument evaluation ability of lowerachieving students, and preliminary evidence of an impact on argument evaluation ability among low-SES students. We also found that students used the various available supportcomputer-based scaffolding, teacher scaffolding, and groupmate support-in different ways to counter differing challenges. We then formulated changes to the scaffolds on the basis of research results.

“…Given this was a clinical rather than a research setting, no methodological controls were established; there fore, information gleaned should be considered preliminary information and should be used to inform the development of future clinical and research practice (Stake, 1978). To capture a full clinical presentation of the children, some paren tal report was required.…”

In many lower-income countries, there is a paucity of assessment services for autism spectrum disorders (ASD)., Guidelines will be provided for conducting cross-cultural assessments in the context of limited validated resources in Tanzania. By examining behavioral, social, and adaptive differences we were able to provide differential diagnostic evaluations aligning with best practice standards for 41 children in Tanzania age 2-21 years. We describe the utility of a flexible, behavioral observation instrument, the Childhood Autism Rating Scales, Second Edition (CARS2), to gather diagnostic information in a culturally sensitive manner. We observed that the ASD group was characterized by significantly higher scores on the CARS2, F = 21.09, p < .001, η(2) = .37, than the general delay comparison group. Additional recommendations are provided for making cultural adaptations to current assessment instruments for use in a country without normed instruments, such as Tanzania.

“…The last point to be considered in using a case study approach is regarding the needs to use a single or multi case analysis. Relating to Stake [66], the choosing process actually depends on the objective of the study. We decided to use a single case analysis but will still accommodate new insights from an industrial perspective.…”
