Anchoring the learning objectives within the academic discipline
Anchoring a case study in your own subject area means that it builds on the theoretical foundations, methods and practical principles of the subject you teach. It ensures that your students can recognise how theory and practice work together.
Good subject anchoring is crucial because it promotes competencies that match the (professional) standards of your subject. Students can apply theoretical concepts to analyse and solve real-world business problems.
A case study anchored in the subject area turns theory into concrete action, helping your students to recognise the meaning and usefulness of what they have learned. Good subject-specific anchoring not only makes case studies authentic and motivating, but also ensures that their content is well-founded.
Would you like a practical example? Take a look at how it is implemented in the simplified example case:
Personal reflection
- What specific theories and principles from the academic discipline are incorporated into the case study?
- How do these concepts help students understand the practical aspects of the discipline?
