Abstract
The definition of case study as a qualitative research methodology is presented and discussed in this article, as are instances when it is appropriate to employ a case study in research. Two research case studies were analyzed from refereed journals that are relevant to mentoring and coaching approaches, and their practices were analyzed. Each of these two studies has been critically evaluated with regard to its strengths and weaknesses in terms of alignment between the research question(s), chosen methodology, data collection procedure, interpretation of results, and connection to theories. Finally, an assessment of the specific ways in which each of the two studies illustrates key aspects of case study methodology was conducted.
