Fallstudien

Die bislang existenten Fallstudien weisen häufig ein Defizit in ihrer pädagogisch-didaktischen Qualität auf, obwohl diese für den Einsatz in der Hochschullehre eine immanente Relevanz besitzt. Im Projekt e³Cases wurden daher zwölf didaktisch hochqualitative und praxisnahe Fallstudien auf Basis der neuesten Erkenntnisse der Lehr- und Lernforschung und mithilfe didaktischer Dimensionen entwickelt. Die Fallstudien wurden von Experten aus der Wirtschaft begutachtet und in einem zweistufigen Testverfahren mit insgesamt 160 Studierenden erprobt, evaluiert und optimiert.

Auf diese Weise konnten zwölf didaktisch fundierte, praxisbezogene Fallstudien in verschiedenen Bereichen der BWL und für diverse Lerngruppen und Niveaus entstehen, die Ihnen mit umfassenden Teaching notes hier kostenfrei zur Verfügung stehen. Im Folgenden finden Sie eine kurze Vorstellung der Fallstudien sowie die Verlinkung für den Download.
