A case study is a description of an actual situation or event involving a decision or a challenge. Features of a case study:

Based on real life scenariosOpen ended questionsStudents use theoretical concepts and/or ethical decision models to solve the problemEffective in encouraging critical thinking

Popil, 2011

50

Offers students opportunities to solve real life problem situations

Stimulates the practical application of knowledge and theory.

Increases retention of learning

Most effective when used in complex circumstances requiring problem solving

Enhances understanding of moral dilemmas (Cagle, 2006)

Promotes active learning which encourages critical thinking

Hoffman, 2008; Popil, 2011 51

Developing cases can be difficult and time-consuming; consider using published cases

Requires the use of good questioning/facilitating skills

Poor student preparation may decrease class learning

Students who prefer didactic methods of learning may be frustrated.

Rowles &Brigham, 2005

52

Encourage an open, non-judgmental environment Summarize the key points so students learn the most important conceptsBe willing to consider alternative discussions/answers

“I hadn’t considered that approach” ; “Lets discuss it further”

Engage all the students in the discussions; correct misconceptionsDevelop a visual plan (i.e. on a whiteboard, concept map) to organize the responses.

Before Class

Step 1. Read Chapter 11 in Lundy & Janes, Ethics and Health (2009) and The Precautionary Principle, Public Health, and Public Health Nursing article (Chaudry, 2008). 

Step 2. The case studies document is posted on Blackboard 2-4 weeks prior to class. Students are assigned or can self select a case.  

55

In Class Step 3. a.)The students who chose the same case meet briefly to discuss the case and identify the main issues. b.) PowerPoint presentation on the principles of public health ethics. c.) Students break into their groups, identify a recorder/reporter, answer the discussion questions and presents their answers for further discussion and questions. d.) The instructor facilitates  the discussion and summarizes key points.

After Class Step 4. The students use the case discussion questions, the readings and the PowerPoint to study for the test. 

56

1. The text book by Lundy & Janes or any other text that presents information on public health ethics.

2. The article by Chaudry (2008) which is easily available through university library databases.

3. The three case studies in public health ethics for the students.

4. Power point presentation which is an introduction to the topic of ethics and public health nursing.

5. Case studies can also be found in Coughlin, Soskolne & Goodman (1997) or on web sites such as http://sciencecases.lib.buffalo.edu/cs/collection/

57

Evaluation is based on: • The analysis and depth of their small

group presentations • The use of the ethical

principles/decision models as a framework for answering the discussion questions.

• An exam included two short essay answers based on the case studies.

Giving Students Voice, in Different Ways… VoiceThread is a

collaborative, multimedia tool that allows students to navigate and converse around images, documents and videos.

(Voicethread.com) Students/Faculty can

telephone in, create and upload a video , upload an audio file and/or type in a comment.

You can build on topic using diverse forms of media as you move through the semester- adding more pages.
