are encouraged to think about the lessons
particularly the parts that went well (they have
understood) and the parts that were weak (they
have difficulty) and write about it briefly.
 Learners can share their thoughts and feeling
about the lessons.

The following are some reminders in using this module:

1. Use the module with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any part of
the module. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises.
2. Read the instruction carefully before doing each task.
3. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and checking your
answers.
4. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.
5. Return this module to your teacher/facilitator once you are through with it.
If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks in this module, do not
hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator. Always bear in mind that you are
not alone.

We hope that through this material, you will experience meaningful learning
and gain deep understanding of the relevant competencies. You can do it!

Case studies involve learners in activities of expert programmers such

as identifying decisions, justifying choices among alternatives, and
evaluating the consequences of these choices. Case studies improve
computer programming courses by emphasizing the process rather than the
product of problem solving. A case study describes a programming problem,
the process used by an expert to solve the problem, and one or more
solutions to the problem.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. Understand a case study

2. Appreciate the importance of case study
3. Perform a case study using control statements

CASE STUDY IN COMPUTER PROGRAMMING

A case study consists of a programming problem, one or more solutions to
the problem, and a narrative description of the process used by an expert to
produce the solutions.

When to use the Case Study Research Approach?

A case study research method is appropriate when the researcher wants to
answer a descriptive question such as WHAT happened? Or an explanatory
question HOW and WHY did something happen?

Types of Subjects of Case Study

1. Person – This type of study focuses on one particular individual. This case
study would use several types of research to determine an outcome.

2. Group – This type of study focuses on a group of people. This could be a

family, a group or friends, or even coworkers.

3. Location – This type of study focuses on a place, and how and why people
use the place.

4. Organization/Company – This type of study focuses on a business or an

organization. This could include the people who work for the company, or an
event that occurred at the organization.

5. Event – This type of study focuses on an event, whether cultural or societal,

and how it affects those that are affected by it. An example would be the
Tylenol cyanide scandal. This event affected Johnson & Johnson, the parent
company, as well as the public at large.

3 Characteristics of Case Study

1. Particularistic - focuses on a particular situation, event, program or phenomenon.

2. Descriptive - the end product is a rich, thick description of the phenomenon being
studied.
3. Heuristic - the cases studied illuminate the reader's understanding of the
phenomenon under study.

- brings about the discovery of new meanings.

- extend the reader's experience.

- confirm what is already known.

Types of Case Study

1. Intrinsic Case Study

Undertaken because of researcher intrinsic interests, and aims to get deep
understanding of a certain case. The researcher focuses only on 1 problem or
concern.

2. Instrumental Case Study

An instrumental case study uses a case to gain insights into a

phenomenon. For example, a researcher interested in child obesity rates
might set up a study with middle school students and an exercise
program. In this case, the children and the exercise program are not the
focus. The focus is learning the relationship between children and
exercise, and why certain children become obese.

3. Multiple or Collective Case Study

Multiple case or collective studies use information from different studies

to formulate the case for a new study. The use of past studies allows
additional information without needing to spend more time and money
on additional studies.

Developing a Case Study

We are now in the computer age. From our homes to other entities in
our society, we are already benefiting the advantages of modern technology.
We can experience this on the electronic gadgets that we used, transactions
in banks, stores, hospitals, schools, managing transportations, data and
information processing and many more. What makes our works less
burdensome and less papers are because of the works of our technologists
and scientists. Through the development of computer systems and programs
we were able to save time, money and energy.

In developing computer software or computer program, one must

learn a programming language. From the programming language that you
have used from the previous quarters, for sure you can create one computer
software. Below is an overview on creating a program you want to develop.

Steps in developing, designing a computer program for a case study:

1. Decide a case study.

Select a case study case that is significant – a topic that you are
interested as well as your clients or audience. Work on the case study that
you are comfortable with. Plan on the flow of your case study as well as the
resources you need. Make an algorithm of it to be your guide.

2. Choosing the language

As we all know, there are many programming languages. So you have

to decide which language that is helpful and useful for your case study. You
have to consider the features and functions you need for your project.

You can choose from the following programming languages:

a. If you want to create games, applications, drivers, operating

systems, and many other software programs, you may use Java,
Visual Basic - these two are very popular for both can be learned
easily. Added to this type programming languages are C, C++, and
C#.
b. If you want to develop online forums and services, HTML, Python,
PHP, and Perl can be your choices.

3. Deciding on an editor

Editor is a software program that allows you to create and manipulate

computer codes. It is capable of editing plain text computer files. Some of
these editors are Microsoft Visual Studio, Adobe, Eclipse, JDeveloper,
Dreamweaver or Notepad ++. These editors can make coding and testing the
code more efficient.

4. Compiler

Most computer languages are easy to understand by the creator but

difficult for a computer to understand. For a computer to read and
understand your program it must be compiled or have and interpreter. You
may need or not another program to compile or interpret it. These are only
need that they are installed on the computer or the server that is running
the script.

5. Learning the language

Once you have decided on the programming language, editor and

compiler, you are now ready to make the program. You also must learn the
syntax on how to declare variables, create conditional statements, perform
the loops, understand the escape sequences, make comments, or
temporarily disable parts of the code, understand regular expressions.
