Post by http://www.howtowritetermpapers.com/<br /><br />A case study is an intensive analysis of an individual unit (e.g., a person, group, or event) stressing developmental factors in relation to context. The case study is common in social sciences and life sciences. Case studies may be descriptive or explanatory. The latter type is used to explore causation in order to find underlying principles. They may be prospective, in which criteria are established and cases fitting the criteria are included as they become available, or retrospective, in which criteria are established for selecting cases from historical records for inclusion in the study.Term Papershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15201156534864798445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-17264317523766766782011-12-11T19:30:49.575-05:002011-12-11T19:30:49.575-05:00Here's another great resource for case studies...Here's another great resource for case studies from the Council for Economic Education. Not just for economics instruction, this is a great interdisciplinary study that introduces the economic way of thinking. http://store.councilforeconed.org/greatecmysbo1.htmlMrs. Exmeyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09913309158673689219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931834670826653533.post-36336232762435852862011-12-10T10:41:28.198-05:002011-12-10T10:41:28.198-05:00I have added 2 examples from Mrs. Chellani.

And their not just for science or math - humanities make sense to kids when they can dig deep into an example of some historical trend or literary issue. My students recently completed a case study of a sort to understand The Reformation. They chose a primary source document with the goal of working backward from the source through local political and religious issues all the way to the larger Reformation. They must connect the dots, so to speak, and demonstrate understanding through a written product (blog post, or paper). In this case study, students practice important skills of research and synthesis as well as technological, while also becoming engaged in the discipline of history - working with sources, constructing narrative from facts, interpretation, etc. Student-Centered Learning that really works. You can see some examples on our blog: http://ageofex.wordpress.com/category/projects/<br /><br />Keep up the good work, Eric.

After giving them a few I have them make up their own. They usually ask their principal for ideas so we get a lot of real-world problems to solve. There tend to be two basic types. The first I call the "Whack A Mole" type where a leader is confronted with multiple things that all need action. This helps people learn how to prioritize. The second contains a single problem that requires a long-term solution. These require more reflection. When solving the cases I have the students work in teams to build collaboration skills. For more of my "wisdom" go to DrDougGreen.Com where this page is posted as a Net Nugget for learning. Keep up the good work. Douglas W.
