Training 07: Case Studies is suitable for experienced & knowledgeable Learners

Benefits of Case Studies
1) To create Learners participation.
2) Learners could learn by reading and understanding the case study.
3) Learners get to discuss and answer the questions posed for the case study.
4) Learners are able to present their answers to the class.
5) This is a form of constructive learning which is suitable for adults with wealth of experience.


How to prepare Case Study
Write a story or a case. Length ideally should be 5 to 10 minutes reading time.
Write the questions (which would be discussed and answered by the Learners.)
Note: Case study could be done: (a) groups of Learners, (b) pairs of Learners, (c) individual Learners.


Typical Duration for Case Study
5 – 10 minutes for reading and understanding the Case Study.1
0 – 15 minutes for discussion and answering the Case Study.
2 – 5 minutes per group for presenting the answers.
5 minutes for the Trainer to summarize and conclude the Case Study.


Self-Satisfaction of Learners
Adult Learners and Lions who are well-experienced, intelligent and knowledgeable love to learn via case studies. They feel satisfied and proud that they are able to think and give the answers. The Learner who presents in the class would also feel happy to be able to present the answers in front of everybody.
If you Trainer want your Learners to feel satisfied, CASE STUDY is definitely one of the ways to enhance the Learning process, enhance interaction and participation and boost the satisfaction of the Learners.


In the next blog, I will be sharing about Panel Discussion as a method for Learners to listen from a panel of Subject Matter Experts.
