"This Happens in the Real World?": Perceptions of Student-Developed Workplace Case Studies
Gettings, Patricia E.; Meluch, Andrea L.
Business and Professional Communication Quarterly, v84 n4 p318-338 Dec 2021
This study examined student perceptions of an online case study development experience where students wrote their own case studies about workplace communication processes and created accompanying pedagogical materials. Students then shared their cases in small groups and engaged in dialogue. Students from organizational communication classes at four universities completed preevaluations (n = 77) and postevaluations (n = 67), providing quantitative and qualitative data. Analyses suggested that students perceived that the experience enhanced their understanding of course materials, aided them in connecting course materials to the real world, and enabled them to reflect on their own and their classmates' organizational experiences.
