Complexity and pluralism as a quality criteria for a didactically high-quality case study
Case studies are a popular method used by teachers in economic education. However, research has shown that they are often only used for a short period of time, sometimes only 1 to 2 teaching hours. This suggests that complex case studies are used less frequently. However, to ensure that case studies are indeed didactically valuable, we need to think about complexity and pluralism. These factors are key because they reflect the conditions in which problems and decisions are made.
You have various options for taking these aspects into account when designing your case study. Explore these approaches in the learning nuggets of this unit:
