College Quarterly - Articles - Teaching for Engagement: Part 1: Constructivist Principles, Case-Based Teaching, and Active Learning
نویسنده
چکیده
In the Winter, 2015, issue of The College Quarterly, Donovan McFarlane provided some guidelines for the use of case studies in college teaching based in part on his own experience and in part on the published literature. This was not the first time that case-based teaching was the focus of work in the College Quarterly. Skliarenko & Bhardwaj (2004) provided a very brief introduction to case-based teaching, but their article was primarily focused on providing a highly detailed business teaching case focused on Bombardier Inc. The case was meant to be of value in teaching about market research and market analysis. The article really did not deal with the way that case (or cases in general) would/could/should be used in teaching. McFarlane’s (2015) critique and guidelines caused me to think that there might be more that CQ readers would like to know about case-based teaching.
