Supporting Student Success: A Case Study Approach

Case studies are a powerful educational tool that promotes active learning and enhances critical thinking. According to Toogood (2025), "Case studies are an educational tool that can promote active learning, and make learning more accessible, by serving as frameworks for student meaning-making" (p. 1125). Case studies are an effective pedagogical approach that enhances critical thinking and problem-solving skills by requiring students to analyze a problem and apply knowledge from previous courses to a real-world issue affecting a college or university.
