initiation of solution procedures. The team offers support, which leads to
decreasing pressure, increasing confidence and performance;- developing communication and thinking abilities, encouraging critical
analysis and active participation; - stimulating confrontation with authentic problems, which require using
abilities similar to those in real life; - research has proved that case study leads to finalizing tasks on time. The
interest generated by cases presented combined with support form the team /
colleagues leads to an increase in efficiency and mood improvement; - after using the method for solving several cases, it can be found that this
procedure is an interesting and rewarding learning method. Success in one’s
personal career will represent the real reward for the time spent in case
solving.
Disadvantages:
- the study of one case cannot offer a basis for relevant generalization;
- the method is not efficient to put across an information / scientific content;
- it is difficult to evaluate the contribution of each team member to the
solutioning of case, and the impact felt by the actors involved.
