The Case-Study allows a direct confrontation with a real, genuine situation, considered as representative of a class of phenomena, a more general state of things, which is going to be analyzed under all aspects.
This method employs the following steps:
- case identification;
- analytical and in-depth study of the case (questions asked to the teacher, practical documentation, the study of sources, etc);
- establishing the alternative options for case-solving;
- optimizing the solution adopted for solving the case, in observational and experimental terms.
Three variants of the case study method have appeared with more frequency:
- the situation method - a complete overview of the existing situation, providing all information necessary to solve the case;
- the analytical study of the case - a full presentation of the case, but the information necessary to solve the case are handed only partially or not at all;
- students do not benefit form any presentation of the situation, but are offered only solve specific tasks and will handle the problem by their own efforts.
