Using Online Case-Based Instruction Strategies to Prepare Preservice Teachers for Classroom Management
Aslihan Unal; Zafer Unal
Journal of Research in Education, v32 n2 p49-94 2023
Many preservice teachers often find classroom management theories and concepts too abstract to effectively address the specific challenges they encounter in real classrooms. To bridge this gap, educators commonly employ case-based instructional techniques to immerse preservice teachers in the contextual complexities of classroom management. This study investigates and compares the effectiveness of two distinct case-based teaching approaches: face-to-face discussions and a gamified online case-solving platform. Our findings reveal that the group utilizing the gamified online case-solving platform outperformed their peers in pre- and post-assessments, as well as in student perception surveys. This research meticulously examines, evaluates, and discusses the potential positive implications of adopting this innovative teaching method.
