From the Dust Jacket: "This third edition of TEACHING AND THE CASE METHOD is a further response to increased national and international interest in teaching, teachers, and learning, as well as the pressing need to enhance instructional effectiveness in the widest possible variety of settings. Like its predecessors, this edition celebrates the joys of teaching and learning at their best and emphasizes the reciprocal exchange of wisdom that teachers and students can experience. It is based on the belief that teaching is not purely a matter of inborn talent. On the contrary, the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that make for excellence in teaching can be analyzed, abstracted, and learned. One key premise of TEACHING AND THE CASE METHOD is that all teaching and learning involve a core of universally applicable principles that can be discerned and absorbed through the study and discussion of cases. Now greatly expanded and broadened in scope, this edition includes many new cases drawn from most of the major professional school settings. These cases present vignettes of teachers dealing with materials as diverse as hard science, educational policy, statistics, clinical medicine, modern languages, and theology -- to name a few." .

Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

Teaching and the Case Method delves into the special role of teacher and students in the case method learning process. Schools that want to use the case method more effectively can use this book to teach groups of faculty how to apply case method techniques. For the first time, too, a book about case method teaching attempts to show how the method can be applied in a liberal arts setting. A liberal arts module in the book presents an innovative program for instructors who want to experiment with discussion teaching in traditional arts and science areas. The book focuses on a wide range of knotty problems faced by most instructors, experienced or new, creating an opportunity for them to learn from each other. It's main purpose is to provide a rich opportunity for both professional school and liberal arts instructors to develop their own discussion leadership skills, and to further the process of learning for both themselves and their students.
