Technological, economic, and social developments represent dynamic changes for businesses across industries, creating opportunities for young entrepreneurs to build profitable companies. A key consideration relates to the need to recognize market opportunities and understand when and how to capitalize on them, whether starting a new type of business or growing on existing ideas; entrepreneurial thinking is a central attribute in cultivating an answer to this consideration. This chapter examines the impact of case-based learning introduced in a multidisciplinary undergraduate course, “Management of Innovation and Technology,” at the University of Nicosia. A core element in this process are the students' and lecturers' experiences, benefits, and challenges of cultivating entrepreneurial thinking. The findings can be useful for academics teaching entrepreneurship-related topics and seeking ways to incorporate innovative approaches in their teaching and learning processes in order to motivate students towards the development of entrepreneurial thinking in their professional engagements.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of case study-based learning on student’s engagement, learning motivation and learning performance among university students of Pakistan. Design/methodology/approach The research model is analyzed with structural equation modeling. The analysis is done with the application of the measurement model and the structural model. Findings The findings revealed that case study-based learning enhances student engagement, and a significant and positive relationship between case-based learning and all four aspects of engagement, i.e. behavioral, emotional, cognitive and agentic engagement, was observed statistically. According to the findings, case-based learning leads toward an understanding of concepts learned in class and the development of skills among students and results in the enhancement of learning motivation. Furthermore, it is suggested by the results that the impact of student engagement on learning performance varies with respect to its different aspects. As among all the four aspects, only agentic engagement was found to be statistically significant in establishing the link with the learning performance of the students. Research limitations/implications The mixed findings pertaining to the impact of student engagement’s aspects on learning performance of the students pave the way for future research. The future researchers should incorporate individual traits and the specific context to analyze the relationships between the proposed constructs because students vary in their responses to learning activities. Practical implications The present study holds significance for the field of educational research and emphasizes the importance of incorporating case-based teaching in the higher education curriculum in order to ensure the implementation of effective learning strategies. Also, this research will be beneficial for future researchers in understanding the phenomenon of student learning and engagement. Originality/value In view of the limited academic literature in the Asian context, the present study extends the findings and examined the impact of case-based learning on student’s engagement, student’s learning motivation and the role of such engagement in enhancing learning performance of university students.

Introduction: Active learning model using cooperative techniques such as Case Based Learning (CBL) has increased. In CBL, the instructor acts as a facilitator in the construction of knowledge. Clinical Biochemistry is concerned with methodology and interpretation of biochemical tests performed on the body uids and tissues, 1 to support diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of disease. Some change in the teaching learning method can enhance the interest of the students in the subject and they can apply the knowledge of the subject in diagnosis, treatment and follow up of a disease in their professional career. Aims and Objectives:To introduce CBL as teaching learning method and then:-1. Compare score of students by two methods of teaching- Traditional didactic lectures and case based approach.2. Evaluate student's and Faculty's feedback regarding their perception of case based learning. Method: The study was conducted in the Department of Biochemistry, MMIMSR, Mullana (Ambala) during six months period. 150 First professional MBBS students (Batch 2018-19) of MMIMSR, Mullana were included in the study.Pre and Post Test and prevalidated questionnaire (Based on Likert's scale) were used as tools for data collection. The students were divided into two groups: - Group A (n=75) (Study group): case based learning (CBL) was used as teaching learning method. Group B (n=75) (Control group): Traditional didactic lecture method was used as teaching learning method. Result: The Post- test scores of both the learning methods were statistically signicantly higher when compared to their respective Pre- test scores. (p<0.05). The Post- test score of CBL group was higher than that of Didactic lecture group (p <0.05). Conclusion: Both faculty and students wanted CBL sessions to be held in future as this makes Biochemistry a very interesting subject .So CBL should be incorporated along with Didactic lectures in the curriculum for MBBS students.

Abstract Background In China, the outbreak of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was a severe public health emergency that postponed the spring-summer semester of schools and forced students to implement home quarantine to prevent community transmission. Surgical interns’ regular learning was seriously affected during the pandemic, and was almost impossible to carry out. Methods This study aims to explore a novel online medical teaching method during the COVID-19 pandemic. A 12-week case-based learning through small private online course was conducted for 108 medical students who were supposed to practice surgery at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University but were delayed because of the pandemic. At the end of the course, final test and questionnaire survey were completed. The scores of final tests were compared with those before pandemic of the same students when receiving traditional surgical internship teaching. Results The case-based learning through small private online course during the pandemic significantly increased the scores of students in the surgical basic knowledge(90.00 ± 4.76 vs. 85.81 ± 7.45, P = 0.003) and clinical analysis ability(89.55 ± 3.41 vs. 84.57 ± 5.07, P = 0.000), but decreased the scores of clinical operative skills(79.19 ± 5.52 vs. 85.28 ± 9.45, P = 0.002 ). According to the survey, 91.6% of the students thought it was necessary to carry out the online internship teaching and 88.9% of students were satisfied with this teaching method. Conclusions It was concluded that case-based learning through small private online course effectively minimized the impact of COVID-19 for surgical intern teaching by providing high-quality education.

Introduction: COVID-19 had enforced educational institutes to adopt online learning. Objectives: This study was designed to compare the learning outcome of online case and online lecture based learning in the undergraduate Oral pathology module of our institute and to compare the perception of students towards the course atiended. Methodology: The 3rd year dental students (N=25) were split into – online case based learning (A1=6, A2=6) and online lecture based learning groups (B=13) randomly. An online multiple choice questions tests were conducted before and after the interventions. An online questionnaire based survey was conducted to evaluate students' perceptions toward the course attended. The statistical analysis was done using paired t test and Mann Whitney U test. Results: Online case based learning was found to be a more effective learning method than online lecture based learning group (online case based learning post test mean rank=16, online lecture based learning post test mean rank=9.54, P=0.026). Significantly more students in the online case based learning group had positive perception towards the course atiended (online lecture based learning; mean value =2.5+/- 0.54, online case based learning; mean value =2.87+/-0.2, P=0.041). Conclusion: Online case based learning should be integrated in Oral Pathology curriculum amidst such pandemics when onsite classes are not possible.
