Exploration of the efficacy of the case method of teaching Audience: case method instructors and those considering adopting the case method	Marlene Reed and Rochelle Brunson	Purpose: the purpose of this research was to identify studies that had been undertaken to determine the efficacy of the case method of teaching as compared to the lecture method in an academic setting Design: an extensive search of secondary sources to identify research undertaken within a classroom setting to determine the effectiveness of case teaching as compared to the lecture method Findings: the findings of this study indicated within the research reviewed the following positive results of case teaching noted by students: enhanced learning of the subject; heightened student engagement in the classroom, and the receipt of higher grades in some disciplines. The following negative results were also found: lack of understanding of course content and the method is more challenging and time consuming. In a national survey of faculty using the case method for the first time: develops strong critical-thinking skills, greater retention of course material and more active engagement in the classroom Limitations: the limitations were the inconsistency of variables measured in the study and the small sample sizes Value: a determination of the number of studies performed to evaluate the effectiveness of case teaching and their findings
