Workshop 02
Title: "Types of Case Studies as a methodical element of Problem Based Learning"
The use of complex teaching methods is a valuable element of teaching-learning processes in many subjects and study programs. In this context, working with case studies offers a way to increase student activity during learning and to support the improvement of students’ problem-solving skills.
In particular, the formulation of tasks for the case studies to be worked on is of high importance from a didactic point of view, because it can be used to regulate learning processes. The purpose of the chosen case study type as well as the complexity and the degree of autonomy in working on the tasks are important for this.
The workshop offers participants the opportunity to get to know different didactic types of case studies, to develop tasks for exemplary case studies in the workshop and to extend their methodical teaching knowledge by reflection with other participants. This supports the quality of teaching-learning processes and can contribute to the improvement of students’ learning outcomes.
