CASE STUDY
TEACHING PEDAGOGY
ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS
TO LEARN ABOUT NEW DISCIPLINES IS
TO PARTICIPATE IN REAL-LIFE
SCENARIOS, MAKE DECISIONS AND
LEARN FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF
THOSE DECISIONS.
CASES ALLOW THE COURSE TO
"SIMULATE" REAL-LIFE SITUATIONS
AND EXPERIENCE HOW MATERIAL
LEARNED IN CLASS IS APPLIED IN THE
REAL WORLD.
WHY USE CASE STUDIES IN
CLASS??
1. Real life scenarios
2. Solve ambiguous problems
3. Communication skills
4. Learn different perspectives
The idea of the case method is that you
learn concepts better if you use a
theory instead of just hearing about it.
STEPS IN SOLVING A CASE
1. Research the background (Ask
for the issues)
2. Define problem and not the
symptom (Investigate the
reasons)
3. Brainstorm the solutions (Discuss
options)
4. Select the solution (Feasibility)
5. Take action (Implement)
