APPENDIX A
Case Study Type:
Objective Classifications:
PARTICIPANT
DEVELOPMENT, PROMOTION, DEFENSE
Description and suggested uses:
The participant case study is a variation of the conventional case study. The idea is to have
the trainees develop and present a case study to the group. The trainees can readily identify
with this type of case since it is being conveyed (normally) by one of their peers. The
advantages of this approach include greater trainee involvement and interest, cases which are
complex and challenging, and increased responsibility by trainees to contribute materials for
the learning experience, with a corresponding reduction in the dependency on the trainer who
ordinarily " oes it all." A participant case study can promote interaction and teamwork since
d
the cases brought in by the trainees often relate to problems in their work environment or area.
This type of case study can be used as a final exercise within a course, where the information
has been presented to the trainees over the entire course.
Case Study Type:
Objective Classifications:
ROLE PLAY
DIAGNOSIS, DEVELOPMENT, EVALUATION, PROMOTION,
DEFENSE
Description and suggested uses:
With a role play case study, the trainees participating receive outlines of the roles that they
have agreed to assume and are then free to develop the characterization of the roles as they
see fit. The roles are written on the basis of actual incidents with the characters being the
participants in the incident. A brief summary of the incident is presented by the instructor to
" et the scene"before the trainees begin the role play. Role plays usually are not scripted;
s
consequently, the outcome cannot be predetermined. When role playing is used, it generates
a near-live case study for subsequent analysis and an opportunity for the players to
experience the feelings of being themselves in the case situation, in which they can test the
validity of their views. Role playing is an excellent way to teach and evaluate affective learning
objectives.
Simulator scenarios are a form of role play, because the simulator is set to provide a certain
facility condition and the trainees are trained and evaluated on the required responses.
Role plays can be combined with other types of case studies to enhance the learning. Role
plays can be used anywhere within a lesson plan: as a motivator, as an internal transition, or
for evaluation.
