Introduction:

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:

 Choose a case study or project.

 Design and document a program using a computer language of a
chosen case study.

Activity 1.1:
One of the special traits of Filipinos is being family-oriented and having
strong family ties. Everyone living in the house is considered a part of the family
even if he/she is not blood related. Everybody is united, and all members under the
roof help one another in doing the household chores. One basic routine in the
house is, “Washing the dishes” after a dinner.
If you are assigned as the dish washer, after a “salo-salo”, how will you
accomplish the task?
Given some situations below, arrange in sequence (based on your
experience) the steps in cleaning the dishes.

A. Place dishes on the drying rack.

B. Rinse the dishes with clean water.
C. Fill the basin with water.
D. Using the dish cloth, wash utensils one by one.
E. Add soap to the basin.
F. Scrape off leftovers from all the cutleries.
 The activity above can be related in deciding a case study and designing a
computer program of it. Using any preferred computer language, you can create its
computer structure.

CASE STUDY DESIGN AND DOCUMENTATION

Case studies investigate contemporary cases for purposes of illumination and
understanding. In some instances, case studies are used to provide information for
decision making or to discover casual links in setting where cause-and-effect
relationships are complicated and not readily
Known.

The case study research design is also useful for testing whether scientific theories
and models actually work in the real world.

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?

Bounded System

A single entity, a unity around which there are boundaries.

https://www.slideshare.net/jlpaglinawan/all-about-case-study-types-characteristics-and-other-details

The phenomenon examined must be bounded in order to be case.

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 n, 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:

1. 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#.
2. 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.

Sample Case Study.

Case Study: Odd and Even Integer Checker Java Language
Algorithm:

https://www.javaguicodexample.com/
javaprogramexampleusejgrasp1.html

Computer source code/syntax:

import java.util.Scanner;

publicclass OddEvenNumber
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int num, remainder;

Scanner readinput = new Scanner

(System.in);
// read and store input from user
System.out.print ("Enter an integer: ");
num = readinput.nextInt();
// find the remainder
remainder = num % 2;
// test remainder for odd or even
if(remainder == 0)
System.out.println(num + " is an even
number.");
else
System.out.println(num + " is an odd
number.");
 }
}

An output samples:

Enter an integer: 100

100 is an even number.

Enter an integer: -13

-13 is an odd number.

Enter an integer: 51
51 is an odd number.

Enter an integer: 0
0 is an even number.
