I am learning about this. So, I search lots of information from various sources about case based learning. One of it is HERE.
Case based learning is quite similar with scenario based learning. But what are the differences? For Case based learning, according to the definition given Yale Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning, it refers to Case-based learning (CBL) is an established approach used across disciplines where students apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios, promoting higher levels of cognition (see Bloom’s Taxonomy). In CBL classrooms, students typically work in groups on case studies, stories involving one or more characters and/or scenarios. The cases present a disciplinary problem or problems for which students devise solutions under the guidance of the instructor.
In my case, when I craft a case or cases for my class discussion, I will relate it back with scenarios that happen at school (this is for Fundamental Pedagogy class – Asas Pedagogi). Since the topics of discussion would revolve around learning theories and models, teaching approaches, methods, strategies and techniques, I would craft a case or cases which would prompt students to analyse and evaluate the case or cases and later on to suggest something (it could be strategy and such) as alternatives or solutions to certain issues relating to the case or cases. In this regards, students would have to be able to link between theoretical aspects they learn [can find information from textbooks] with hypothetical reality (since I don’t expect them to go to schools to implement whatever solutions they come out with). But the hypothetical reality might be a real deal when they start their teaching practicum or after they graduated. For the time being, most of the cases are from my own experience while undergoing Latihan Ikhtisas. So, the cases are real.
I find a short illustration of scenario based learning from HERE. The poster is taken from Sh!ft Disruptive eLearning website.
