How Case Methods are Used to Examine and Enhance Preservice Teacher Decision-Making?

This paper reviews the literature on the use of cases in teacher education to examine and fosterpreservice teachers‟ decision making. Twenty studies that were selected according to a set of criteria are organized intofour groups based on the manner in which cases were used in the studies. After presenting the common and distinctivefeatures of each group, a comparative examination of the four groups of studies are provided in terms of theirtheoretical and methodological implications for using cases in teacher education. Finally, the implications of this set ofresearch for teacher education are discussed.

Öğretmen Adaylarının Karar-Verme Becerilerini İnceleme ve Geliştirmede Örnek Olay Yöntemleri Nasıl Kullanılır?

Bu çalışma, öğretmen adaylarının karar verme becerilerini inceleme ve geliştirmede örnek olayların nasıl kullanıldığı ile ilgili alanyazın taramasını sunmaktadır. Belirlenen ölçütlere göre seçilen 20 çalışma, örnek olayların bu çalışmalardaki kullanım biçimlerine göre dört grupta incelenmiştir. Her bir grubun benzer ve farklı özellikleri sunulduktan sonra gruplar örnek olayların öğretmen eğitiminde kullanımı ile ilgili olarak kuramsal ve metodolojik açıdan karşılaştırılmıştır. Son olarak, çalışmanın öğretmen eğitimi açısından etkileri tartışılmıştır.
