The study focuses, in particular, on students' perceptions about whether case studies develop particular skills sugges… Show more

“…Hasil penelitian ini mendukung hasil penelitian Weil et al (2001) yang menunjukkan bahwa, menurut persepsi siswa, penggunaan studi kasus meningkatkan pembelajaran siswa dengan membantu mengembangkan keterampilan berpikir tertentu dan memberikan manfaat yang diidentifikasi dalam literatur (Campbell dan Lewis, 1991;Wines et al, 1994;Kimmel, 1995;Hassall et al, 1998).

Ini adalah: masalah, pertimbangan yang memerlukan penggunaan ketrampilan penilaian dan penalaran analitikal; dimasukkannya situasi nyata atau reallistik, membutuhkan pertimbangan kompleksitas dan ambiguitas dari dunia usaha; dan keberadaan lebih dari satu solusi untuk kasus masalah ini.…”

“…First, there is little evidence to confirm whether the educational benefits attributed to this technique actually accrue to the students. Weil, Oyelere, Yeoh and Firer (2001), for instance, note a number of studies identifying a range of skills that could be developed through the use of case studies but also note the lack of investigation into the usefulness of case studies 'from the point of view of the principal stakeholder -students'. It is quite plausible that both students and teachers have come to accept more by convention than conviction that strategic management and marketing are best learnt through the case study approach.…”
