In case study methods of organizations, researchers are often limited to the aggregation of individual cases within the context of the organizational case. Borrowing from Stake's (1995) use of instrumental and intrinsic case studies, this paper presents a fractal geometry case study method.

Teacher educators in family and consumer sciences (FCS) face unique challenges due to the diversity of content that comprises the discipline.
