Epistemological Limitations of Study Case. An Empirical Investigation

This paper related to epistemological limitations of study case develops an empirical investigation concerning the contrasting points of view between teacher and students in the Romanian classroom. The purpose is to establish the case identity, to delineate a resolutive model or a strategy, and to identify preconceptions about the student from the vantage point of the teacher. The data collected demonstrate that the case is an authentic one, the identity of teacher and the identity of students are opposite, strategies to be used are various, and it is about cultural shortcircuits (ideas, values, cultural norms, etc.) in the classroom.
