Case studies are used as a tool to facilitate learning on the part of the participants by the trainer
in the session. Case studies portray real life situations involving decision making by participants
on either a set of questions or through an open-ended discussion in the classroom.
Usually case studies are presented in a session by dividing the Participants into groups. This
enables the Participants to have a thorough analysis and understanding of the case.
Advantages
The most important advantage of using a case study is that it simplifies complex
concepts.
Case studies expose the participants to real life situations which otherwise is difficult.
It truly helps in adding value to the Participants through discussion on concrete subjects.
It improves -analytical thinking, communication, developing tolerance for different views
on the same subject, ability to defend ones own point of view with logic and enhances
team work of the participants making them efficient over time.
The many solutions which come out of the case act as ready reference when participants
face similar problems at work place.
Disadvantages
The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages as the case study approach provides for
experiential learning and is a great tool in stimulating learning in training programs.
