What Is a Case?
Herreid, Clyde Freeman
Journal of College Science Teaching, v27 n2 p92-94 Nov 1997
Cases are stories that are meant to educate. Teachers can deliver cases by lecture, through Socratic questioning, through discussion leading, and in small group learning. Some cases are fact driven and deductive, whereas others are context driven. Science appears to demand closed-ended cases with correct answers; however, in frontier science, scientists looking at the same evidence can reach different conclusions. (PVD)
