- A) Experiment
- B) Case study
- C) Survey
- D) Observation
You’ve got it! An in-depth study of a single student at one point for their benefit is called a case study.
Here’s a breakdown of the other options:
- Experiment: This involves manipulating variables to observe cause-and-effect relationships. It wouldn’t typically be used for a single student.
- Survey: This gathers information from a large group of people, not just one student.
- Observation: This involves watching or recording behavior without necessarily delving into the “why” behind it. A case study goes beyond observation to analyze factors influencing the student’s learning.
