What should teachers follow?

A study
A study is an in-depth examination or analysis of a topic. In this circumstance, it’s a very specific analysis of an individual case.

Slayd 5

What is a Case Study?
A Case Study is a method of detailed research and examination that focuses on 1 specific case. This can then be used to draw:
conclusions
comparisons
similarities
to other
facts
research
beliefs

Slayd 6

In broader terms, a case
can even relate to a location. Case Studies help to provide clarity and clear results to understand complex issues because of their in-depth analysis. Due to the research focusing on 1 topic, Case Studies are able to show how unique the case is, while gaining a better understanding of a particular issue.

What is Case Method Teaching?
Case method teaching is an active form of instruction that focuses on a case and involves students learning by doing. The case study method is a teaching technique that can help students
develop critical thinking skills and
promote reflective practice.

Cases are real or invented stories that include:
an educational message
recount events
problems
dilemmas
theoretical or conceptual issue

This method is used across disciplines to promote learning, and is common in

Types of cases
a teaching method that uses a scenario and close-ended questions to help students to understand complex problems.
based instruction refers to providing case study information to students in small parts, separated by time
Directed case
Interrupted case
Dilemma or decision case
Analysis or issue case
situations where there is not an obvious right choice, like being between a rock and a hard place
requires you to investigate a business problem, examine the alternative solutions, and propose

“The case study is a valuable tool for investigating complex phenomena in their natural settings. It allows researchers to gather rich, in-depth data and develop a nuanced understanding of the case under study.”
—Robert K. Yin

Why use the Case Method?
The case method bridges theory to practice, and promotes the development of skills including:
communication,
active listening,
critical thinking,
decision-making,
and metacognitive skills.

70% of educators
Research suggests that the use of case studies in higher education is increasing. For example, a 2017 study found that over 70% of educators at American universities reported using case studies in their teaching (source: Case Research Journal).

Elementary School (Grades 1-5):
Building critical thinking, analytical skills, and understanding different perspectives
Middle School (Grades 6-8):
Developing more complex analysis, argumentation, and research skills using case studies.
Developing social skills, empathy, problem-solving, and early literacy through stories.
Early Years (Pre-K – Kindergarten):

The increasing emphasis on case study methods as students get older:
real-world examples and storytelling to teach.
Early Years (Pre- K – Kindergarten):
They might be 50-75% of the curriculum of subject
Elementary School (Grades 1-5):
They are 75-90% of the curriculum, in upper-level courses
High School (Grades 9-12):
50-75%
75-90%

Case Study method in the classroom
Furthermore, teaching using Case Studies is also great for group tasks and discussions. The conclusions that students draw from their analysis provide a variety of correct answers to discuss.

Creating cases
Your next step is to become familiar with the context surrounding your case. This is often considered as the most challenging, yet most important, aspect of a Case Study.
What happened?
What was the outcome?
What have other people argued or learned from this?

United States
Brazil
The case study method is used in many countries, including
Recognized universities in the United States regularly use the case study method.
The case study method is important in the literature, but it’s still relatively rare to find papers published in Brazil that use this method.

Student roles in a case discussion can include:
A question
discussion “starters” get the conversation started with a question
Conversation
facilitators follow-up questions, draw connections, refocus the conversation
Taking notes
recorders take-notes of the main points of the discussion, record on the board
Summary
discussion “wrappers” lead a summary of the points of the discussion.

Case steps to follow:

Slayd 23

Case studies can be a useful teaching strategy because they can:
Challenge students’ current knowledge of a topic.
Link to course goals or objectives.
Help students develop analytical thinking, communication skills, and the ability to establish cause-and-effect relationships.

Slayd 24

The case study method can be an effective teaching strategy for a number of reasons:
Encourages deeper learning
Case studies can help students develop a deeper understanding of the content by allowing them to undertake in-depth study.
Improves performance
Case studies can be more effective than other methods of teaching at improving student performance on exams.

Slayd 25

Develops critical thinking skills
Case studies can help students develop critical thinking skills by using questioning, discussion, and debate.
Models real-world scenarios
Case studies can help students learn how to make decisions based on relative values and uncertainty, which mimics the real world.

Slayd 26

Promotes active learning
Case studies encourage students to be actively engaged in learning by abstracting principles from examples.
Develops problem-solving skills
Case studies can help students develop problem-solving skills and analytical tools.

Prior to the case discussion:
instructors
can model case analysis
and the types of questions
and ask for students to submit discussion questions
students
should ask questions
co-create discussion guidelines

Here are some tips for solving a case study:
Read and examine the case thoroughly.
Take notes, highlight relevant facts, and underline key problems.
Focus your analysis.
Identify two to five key problems.
Uncover possible solutions.
Select the best solution.

Short term
are broader and more encompassing
Long term
Completing homework every day
Attending tutoring sessions
Practicing speaking questions
Creating a study routine
can take several weeks, months, or a full school year to achieve
require patience and persistence.

Conclusions
The conclusion is also where you link what you learned from analyzing the case with the course readings or class discussions. This can further demonstrate your understanding of the relationships between the practical case situation and the theoretical and abstract content of assigned readings and other course content.
