Anchoring with the academic discipline involves ensuring that the case study is firmly rooted in the theoretical and practical principles of the specific academic discipline you are teaching. It is crucial for making education practical, relevant, and aligned with professional standards.

Anchoring with academic discipline is important for several reasons:

• It ensures that students are learning how to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios

• It helps in preparing students to meet industry standards and expectations, ensuring they are learning practices and knowledge directly applicable to their future careers.

• By linking theoretical concepts to practical applications, students can develop a deeper understanding of the subject matter. They see how abstract ideas are used to solve real problems

• Students can connect different concepts and see the bigger picture within their academic discipline.

Personal reflection

1. What specific theories and principles from the academic discipline are incorporated into the case study?

2. How do these concepts help students understand the practical aspects of the discipline?
