Resolving the Magic Cube of Effective Case Teaching

This chapter contribution has three major aims: First, to present a benchmark of current practices of teaching with case studies in order to inform fellow scholars, who are generally interested in this particular pedagogical approach and to help those readers, who already apply case studies in their academic teaching or vocational trainings within business and management sciences. Second, to provide some help to fellow case teachers by describing concrete examples, to offer a benchmark, and to formulate advices relevant to case-based teaching. Certain sections make explicit reference to particularities or interesting trends of case-based teaching practices which are different in the CEE region and in other emerging markets. Third, to outline a new, emerging trend of participant-centered learning methods, that of serious games as a tool for leadership and management development.

This chapter discusses a particular pedagogical methodology, case-based learning, and introduces an application that supports case studies. It suggests that authenticity, social interaction, community of practice, and resource accumulation are especially important for design and implementation of case-based learning systems. To make the arguments more vivid, the chapter also introduces a case study library that supports usability engineering education. Some of the suggestions are more related to case libraries or systems alike in particular, and some are valuable for learning management systems in general. The authors hope their study can invoke further research of computer-supported case studies in educational and CSCL communities, and more applications supporting this pedagogical approach will be developed.

Rapid technological development introduced dramatic changes in teaching analytical chemistry. While instruction of core analytical chemistry continues to be of significance, implementation of additional applied approaches helps to bridge the gap between the theoretical nature of academic teaching, and a practical way typical for employment. Although the use of problem- and case-based learning scenarios in chemistry have shown to be beneficial, evidence of their application for the teaching of instrumental analytical subjects remains limited. One of the main concerns in developing new curriculum disciplines involving problem- and case-based learning regards the way of testing these teaching approaches before implementation. In this report, we introduce a two-step model for trialling of problem- and case-based scenarios for the teaching of applied analytical chemistry, which was helpful in the development of several chemistry modules for both undergraduate and postgraduate curricula.

AbstractThis article reviews recent attempts to develop multi-method social scientific frameworks. The article starts by discussing the ontological and epistemological foundations underlying case studies and variance-based approaches, differentiating approaches into bottom-up, case-based and top-down, variance-based approaches. Case-based approaches aim to learn how a causal process works within a case, whereas variance-based approaches assess mean causal effects across a set of cases. However, because of the different fundamental assumptions, it is very difficult for in-depth studies of individual cases to communicate meaningfully with claims about mean causal effects across a large set of cases. The conclusions discuss the broader challenges this distinction has for the study of comparative politics more broadly.
