The Case Methodology at Sjölins Gymnasium is an interdisciplinary and learner-centered approach designed to enhance critical thinking, engagement, and real-world application of knowledge. Rooted in authenticity and inspired by the Harvard Case Method, Sjölins' Case Methodology structures learning around real-life scenarios, dilemmas, or questions that encourage analytical reasoning and problem-solving.
A Sjölins Case unfolds in three key phases:
Case Introduction – A compelling scenario is presented, sparking curiosity and initiating discussion among learners.
Exploration and Investigation – Learners engage in various learning activities, including interdisciplinary collaboration, Harvard case discussions, fieldwork, and guest lectures.
Case Conclusion – The acquired knowledge is synthesized, examined, evaluated, and connected back to the initial scenario.
This methodology promotes an active learning environment where learners not only absorb information but also critically apply it. By fostering authenticity in learning, Sjölins Case Methodology aligns education with real-world challenges, equipping learners with essential skills for future academic and professional success. Educators appreciate its adaptability and effectiveness in stimulating both engagement and deeper learning.
By integrating this approach into teaching, schools can transform traditional education into an interactive, dynamic, and impactful experience for both learners and teachers.
