When to Use?

To analyze and solve a problem.When can’t practically demonstrate.When process is more decision. focused than activity focused.

How to Conduct?

Present the facts (real or realistic) If real, change names, places.

Explain to learners that analysis must be conducted prior to making decisions.

Create questions for the end of the case (e.g., What would you do? Why? How?).

Factors that Inform Practice

Adult Characteristics

Teacher is guide and facilitator.Learner seen to be active, self-directed.Experience is rich and adds to a learning event.Learning is task or problem-centered.Motivated more internally. Less open to changing attitudes or actions.Can lack confidence. “Student” is a secondary part of identity.

Learning Preferences

Diverging (feeling/watching).Assimilating (watching/thinking).Converging (thinking/doing).Accommodating (doing/feeling).

Motivation

What is my attitude toward the task at hand?What do I think are the consequences of my completing this task?Do I think I can I do this task?
