Effects of Case Library Recommendation System on Problem Solving and Knowledge Structure Development
Peer reviewed
Direct linkTawfik, Andrew A.; Kim, Kyung; Kim, Dongho – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
Case-based reasoning posits that learners can use their prior experience to solve new problems. This theory is cited to explain the benefits of problem-based learning (PBL), especially as it relates to knowledge structure development. However, critics argue that learners lack the relevant knowledge structures to simultaneously learn new content…

Rong, Hui; Choi, Ikseon – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2019
Employing authentic cases experienced by practitioners in educational contexts is critical to expanding students' experience and engaging students in authentic problems to promote their real-world problem-solving skills. Although in real life, practitioners experience both success and failure and learn from both, little research has been done so…

Rong, Hui; Choi, Ikseon; Schmiedt, Chad; Clarke, Kevin – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
Failure is an inevitable human experience, which can offer great learning opportunities. Yet, in current educational contexts, failure has largely been eschewed to minimize students' frustration and confusion. Such a failure-avoidance approach is also reflected in the cases used for instruction. To maximize learning, more studies are needed to…

Willems, Patricia P.; Gonzalez-DeHass, Alyssa R.; Powers, Jillian R.; Musgrove, Ann – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
Instructional methods in higher education are changing in response to the growing popularity for distance learning courses. Investigating methods of instruction that will assist in the manner that coursework is taught in online courses is therefore a significant enterprise to research. Specifically, examining the relation between theory and…

Applying Case-Based Method in Designing Self-Directed Online Instruction: A Formative Research Study
Luo, Heng; Koszalka, Tiffany A.; Arnone, Marilyn P.; Choi, Ikseon – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2018
This study investigated the case-based method (CBM) instructional-design theory and its application in designing self-directed online instruction. The purpose of this study was to validate and refine the theory for a self-directed online instruction context. Guided by formative research methodology, this study first developed an online tutorial…

Ertmer, Peggy A.; Koehler, Adrie A. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2018
In this exploratory, descriptive study we examined how discussion goals were accomplished during face-to-face and online case-based discussions facilitated by the same co-instructors. An analysis of discussion transcripts suggests that despite different instructor and student participation patterns across contexts, the instructors' goals of…

Lin-Siegler, Xiaodong; Shaenfield, David; Elder, Anastasia D. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2015
Self-assessment is a process during which students evaluate the quality of their work in a given domain based on explicitly stated criteria. Accurate self-assessments improve students' academic achievement. Yet, students often have difficulties assessing their own work. It is possible that appropriate instructional supports will help students…

Borro-Escribano, Blanca; Del Blanco, Ángel; Torrente, Javier; Alpuente, Itziar Martínez; Fernández-Manjón, Baltasar – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2014
The exceptional success achieved by the Spanish National Transplant Organization (ONT) in recent years has made other countries highly interested in following this organization's methodologies. A good training program is one of the key elements of the ONT. Until 2012, the ONT training program was a paper-based case teaching method, and the small…

Ertmer, Peggy A.; Koehler, Adrie A. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2014
Case studies hold great potential for engaging students in disciplinary content. However, little is known about the extent to which students actually cover the problem space afforded by a particular case study. In this research, we compared the problem space afforded by an instructional design case study with the actual content covered by 16…

Tawfik, Andrew; Jonassen, David – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2013
Solving complex, ill-structured problems may be effectively supported by case-based reasoning through case libraries that provide just-in-time domain-specific principles in the form of stories. The cases not only articulate previous experiences of practitioners, but also serve as problem-solving narratives from which learners can acquire meaning.…

Noroozi, Omid; Busstra, Maria C.; Mulder, Martin; Biemans, Harm J. A.; Tobi, Hilde; Geelen, Anouk; van't Veer, Pieter; Chizari, Mohammad – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2012
This study used a sequential set-up to investigate the consecutive effects of timing of supportive information presentation (information before vs. information during the learning task clusters) in interactive digital learning materials (IDLMs) and type of collaboration (personal discussion vs. online discussion) in computer-supported…

Kim, Hyeonjin; Hannafin, Michael J. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2008
Cases have been used in education through a variety of methods, such as case written analysis, case discussion, and case development. Recent case definitions and uses have extended their traditional uses. In case-based reasoning, cases are considered to represent knowledge, and the use of cases is integral to an individual's problem-solving…

Although interactive technology is presumed to increase student understanding in large classes, no previous research studies have empirically explored the effects of Clicker Cases on students' performance. A Clicker Case is a story (e.g., a problem someone is facing) that uses clickers (student response systems) to engage students in understanding…

Papadopoulos, Pantelis M.; Demetriadis, Stavros N.; Stamelos, Ioannis G.; Tsoukalas, Ioannis A. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2011
This study investigates the effectiveness of two variants of a prompting strategy that guides students to focus on important issues when learning in an ill-structured domain. Students in three groups studied individually Software Project Management (SPM) cases for a week, using a web-based learning environment designed especially for this purpose.…

Papadopoulos, Pantelis M.; Demetriadis, Stavros N.; Stamelos, Ioannis G.; Tsoukalas, Ioannis A. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2009
This study was designed to investigate the impact of question prompts that guide students to focus on context-related issues when learning through cases in an ill-structured domain. Three groups of undergraduate students studied cases during a lab-session time period using a web-based environment. The first group studied without any question…
