THE CASE METHOD IN SCIENCE AND TEACHING
Mijo Biličić
Sažetak
The author expounds the basic rules and problems of the case method. Using the case method, data of cases that actually occurred are collected for the purpose of intervening and arriving at initial or permanent conclusions. Individual systems are encompassed wholly and by means of using a number of methods, most often by means of analysis of documents, interviews and observation. The case method is conducted with success in criminology, welfare work, the science of organization and organizational behavior as well as in comparative political science. The reliability of cognition through the case method is assured by consolidation of broader regularities in which the case moves, through selection of a case as a sample, strict defining of terms and attentive and qualified performance of all methodical procedures and phases of investigation.
In teaching, the case method forces students to learn to grapple with problems and get them to think. Along with the compatible engagement of teachers and students in preparation and discussions such teaching gives better results than the traditional lecturing.
