The Application of Case Teaching and Learning in the Teaching of Pedagogy

Case teaching and learning is based on educators' aim of integrating theory and practice, which is in conformity with the teaching demands. On the basis of case teaching and learning as source materials, it leads learners into a specially designated authentic environment. Thus appears such a kind of effective teaching method, in which students put theory closely into practice by their own studying and at the same time students' competence to think back and to innovate can be cultivated. In the practice of teaching, teachers and students usually analyze, discuss different cases and then make a summary. What is worth paying attention to is that teachers and students must strengthen theory study, and establish a totally new concept of case teaching and learning.
