CHILDREN OUT OF BOUNDS: THE POWER OF CASE STUDIES IN EXPANDING VISIONS OF LITERACY DEVELOPMENT

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Out on the playground, children claim and define spaces, whether their game is Greek gods or kickball, cops-ʼn-robbers or hopscotch. And, of course, who’s “in” and who’s “out” is often a matter of contention. In many ways, this same task of establishing and maintaining boundaries faces adults who construct case studies, that is, studies of “bounded” human experience (Stake, 1988, p. 256). The case might be a community, group, activity, or, of particular interest herein, individual. Whatever the unit, however, the “case” has a way of going out of bounds.
