Casetehtävät

Casetehtävät, often translated as case studies or case assignments, are a common pedagogical tool used in education and professional development. They involve presenting a realistic scenario, problem, or situation for analysis and problem-solving. The purpose of a casetehtävä is to allow learners to apply theoretical knowledge to practical contexts, develop critical thinking skills, and practice decision-making.

These assignments can originate from various fields, including business, law, medicine, social work, and engineering. The case typically provides background information, relevant data, and often outlines a specific challenge or question that needs to be addressed. Learners are expected to examine the provided information, identify key issues, research relevant concepts, and propose solutions or recommendations.

The format of a casetehtävä can vary. It might be a written document, a multimedia presentation, or even a role-playing exercise. The expected output from the learner also differs, ranging from a written report, a presentation, a group discussion, or a combination of these. Casetehtävät encourage learners to think independently, collaborate with peers, and communicate their findings effectively. They are designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world application, fostering a deeper understanding and practical competence in a given subject.
