Case Studies and the Media
Dinan, Frank J.
Journal of College Science Teaching, v36 n3 p18-19 Nov-Dec 2006
In this article, the author discusses how media can provide great sources for case studies. However, he cautions that teachers should look for events in media that will grab their students' interest and allow them to develop a case that will teach discipline. He also suggests that teachers need to develop a case-study mindset, an ability to see potentially interesting case study outlines in the everyday reading and viewing that they do as part of everyone's daily life. He also provides several examples of the ingenious use of the media in the construction of a case study. (Contains 1 resource.)
