Case-Based Reasoning

Case-Based Reasoning explains how people apply their previous experiences to solve problems in new situations. Instead, case-based reasoning’s cognitive model has been used as a framework for designing systems of classroom activities, classroom scripts, and roles for teachers and peers to promote learning from project and problem-solving experiences. case-based reasoning providespowerful suggestions about how to make hands-on learning more effective:

1) make sure students have the opportunity to iteratively apply what they are learning – getting real feedback about what they’ve done so far, being helped to explain what happened if it was not what was expected, and having an opportunity to try again and again until they are successful and come

to a full understanding of what they are learning; and

2) make sure to involve students in discussions and activities that ask them to reflect on their experiences, extract what they are doing and learning, and articulate it for themselves or others. CBR suggests  resources that might be useful during learning – well-indexed libraries of expert cases and well-indexed libraries that hold the ideas and lessons learned by their peers – and activities that can enhance learning in any setting – writing cases to share with others, reading the cases of experts and preparing them for other students to learn from.
