Resumen	A longitudinal single case study is a qualitative research design that follows one bounded unit — a person, organization, program, or community — through multiple points in time. Unlike a cross-sectional snapshot, it captures how phenomena develop, shift, or respond to events across months or years, combining the contextual richness of case study methodology with the temporal depth needed to understand process and change.	Case study research is a qualitative research design that investigates a specific phenomenon, individual, group, organisation, or event in depth within its real-world context. Systematised by Robert K. Yin in 1984, it supports single-case and multiple-case designs and draws on multiple data sources — interviews, observation, documents, and artefacts — to build a rich, contextualised account of a bounded unit.
