-====== Case-Based Learning ======
-Case-based learning is a [[constructivism|constructivist]] instructional design method employed in law schools even as far back as 19th century and suggests **learning through introducing a learner to a situation** he might face in real world, **discussing it** and **making conclusions** out of it.
-Case based learning introduces learners who **typically work in groups** to **a hypothetical situation (case)** they are **likely** to face **in real life**. They are then **encouraged to examine and discuss it**. The teachers role is to guide the discussion to address the right aspects of the problem and thereby facilitate learning. This approach is often used for developing of decision making skills.
-Simple **rules that should ensure efficient case-based** learning suggested by Clyde Herreid are that the story (case) should be:
-  * **focused on an interesting issue**
-  * **set in the past five years**
-  * provoking **empathy with the central characters** and including **quotations**
-  * **relevant to the reader** and have a **pedagogic utility**
-  * **conflict provoking** and **decision forcing**
-  * **short** and **enable generalizations**
-It is important to notice that cases do not necessarily have just one correct conclusion.
-Case-based studies can be used in every classroom and present a good way of **connecting theory with practice**. They enable learners to see **different consequences** of their decision as well as **different points of view offered by others**.
