What Makes an Effective Case in Case-based Learning? Our Debates at a Constructivist Teaching Studio

Case-based learning was adopted in a constructivist teaching studio. In this experimental class, teachers and students used cases for mutual learning in many ways. A significant question was debated in this class: “What makes an effective case in case-based learning?” This investigation studies students’ active construction of the meaning. The answer at the didactic teaching class will be quite different from ours. However, this investigation seeks to share our discussion and experience about this topic.
