Investigating case method learning phenomenologically
pp. 45-82
The Case Method (CM) is increasingly recognized as a viable pedagogy for teacher education. The philosophy of Edmund Husserl's Transcendental Phenomenology advocates "going back to the things themselves' (Husserl in Logical investigations. RKP, London,1970a) to capture their "original given-ness' (Husserl in The crisis of European sciences and transcendental phenomenology. Northwestern University Press, Evanston, 1970b). This research was grounded in an attempt "to go back' to the experience of the CM to understand teacher learning in a professional development activity. This research is a descriptive phenomenological investigation that aims to describe science teachers' experience of the CM approach to professional development. The science teachers attended and took part in a workshop that used the CM to deliver the teaching case The Not-so-simple Simple Electric Circuit. In-depth interviews with the teachers (or co-researchers) facilitated comprehensive descriptions that provide the basis for intuitive-reflective analyses to obtain the meanings, structures and essences of the lived experience of the CM.
