Being an interactive teaching method, the case technology method gains a positive attitude on the
part of students, providing them with mastery of theoretical positions and practical use of the material;
promotes their maturation, generates interest and positive motivation in relation to learning. At the
same time, this method also acts as a way of thinking of a teacher, his special paradigm that allows
him to think and act differently, renew his creative potential.
Cases can be classified into the following:
The method of the incident. The peculiarity of this method is that the learner himself/herself
finds information for making a decision. Students receive a brief report of the case. The information
available is clearly insufficient for making a decision, so the student must collect and analyze the
information needed to make a decision. Since this takes time, students can do their own homework. At
the first stage, the students receive a message and questions.
The method of a situational analysis. It is the most common method because it allows to
investigate a complex situation in depth and in detail. The student is given a text describing the
situation in detail and the task to be solved. The text may describe actions that have already been
taken, decisions that have been made, to analyze their feasibility.
Method of business correspondence: students receive from the teacher a set of documents (a
case), with the help of which they identify the problem and ways of solving it [3].
There are other interpretations of a case method:
Case study - a case study contains a story about some situations, problems, ways to solve
them, conclusions.
Case - practical problem contains a small or average amount of information in digital form or
as an experiment.
Case with structured questions contains a list of questions after the main text.
Pedagogical work with cases is structured in the following way:
1. The teacher gives keys to the case in the form of additional questions or (additional)
information;
2. Under certain conditions he will give the answer himself;
3. The teacher may do nothing (remain silent) while someone is working on the problem.
Working on this technology involves two steps: preparatory and direct. The first stage is the
preparation of the case, the formulation of the task, and the recording of the learning or real task,
provided that it is simplified (taking into account the age of the students). Next, the questions are
defined which, after analyzing all the materials, will need to be answered. The second stage is when
students work with the case in the lesson.
It is recommended to solve cases in the following order:
1. Acquaintance with the plot. (3-5 minutes).
2. Problematization - the discovery of contradictions in a story during a group discussion,
determining what its "strangeness" is. (3-4 minutes)
3. Formulation of the problem and selection of its best formulations (frontal brainstorming with
subsequent discussion). (3-4 minutes)
4. Propagation of hypothetical answers to the problem question (brainstorming within small
groups) 3-4 minutes.
5. Testing hypotheses based on information from the plot and other available sources (group
work). Up to 15 minutes. Students should be given the opportunity to use any literature, textbooks,
reference books.
In some cases, the teacher may be required to prepare a printout with the information needed to
solve the case, which is not available in textbooks and reference books available to students. However,
such a printout should not exceed 1-2 pages of text.
6. Presentation of the solution. No more than 3 minutes per group.
7. Case solution reflexion. (3-4 minutes).
In conclusion, the use of cases in the course of training requires students' readiness, self-study, text
skills, communication skills, problem solving skills. Students' unpreparedness and underdeveloped
motivation may lead to a superficial discussion of a case. The case tends to teach the search for
nontrivial individual approaches that promote logical, abstract, imaginative, critical thinking. It also
helps learners to think beyond the limits of what is allowed, to establish cause-and-effect relationships
and on the basis of them, to conduct experiments, to make their own discoveries [4].
