Resources: Laptop, Cellphone, Power Point Presentation and Bond paper

Values: Hardworking and Cooperation

III. Strategy:

A. Engage

The teacher will present a short video clip that sheds light on the basics of the anti-

illegal drugs campaign. After the video presentation, the teacher divided the class

into 6 groups and assigned them to read text on the positive and negative effects

of the drug war. The aim of each group is to answer the question: is the war on

drugs an effective program to achieved peace and order in our country? After the

brain storming, each group presented their arguments to the class. The teacher

facilitated debates and answered queries until the class came up with their

informed stand on the issue.

B. Explore

The teacher will ask a question to the students, have you experienced doing a

similar activity when you were in elementary? If yes, is the activity successful in

helping you deepen your understanding of the lesson? If not, what could be one

possible reason why your teachers choose not to do this? So, this morning we are

going to discuss about the case study and how it is implemented in the classroom.

Based on the content, case study can be classified into the following:

1. Live case studies

2. Historical case studies

3. Economic case studies

4. Social issues case studies

5. Student-developed case studies

Study the lesson plan below and analyze how the case study strategy is utilized in

the elementary social studies classroom.

C. Explain

The case study is all about structured, learner-centered strategy that explores

complex and value-laden issues through problem-solving and decision-making. In

this strategy, students are tasked to analyze one or more cases and propose

workable solutions. Cases are defined by Kowalski, Weaver, and Henson (1994) as

general narrative descriptions of situations and incidents. In social studies, a case

can be anything from an actual or fictional event, a concrete or abstract issue, or a

historical or current phenomenon. Based on the content, case studies can be

classified into the following:

1. Live Case Studies. These are often based on an ongoing event where students

and real- world actors are simultaneously examining issues and arriving at

solutions. Possible sources are current news report and court cases. An example is

the proposed shift of the Philippines from unitary to a federal form of government.

2. Historical Case Studies. These are largely based on historical events and can be

depicted as fiction or nonfiction. An example is the trial of Andres Bonifacio in

Cavite.

3. Economics Case Studies. These are focused on economic issues that can be

drawn from student's experiences or from international or national matters. An

example of this is the family budget of a minimum wage worker.

4. Social Issues Case Studies. These are based on problems and concerns that

affect society. In essence, live case studies and economic case studies can also be

considered under this classification. An example is overpopulation in the National

Capital Region.

5. Student-developed Case Studles. In this type, students are asked to come up with
 case studies based on their own experiences and observations. This will encourage

students to be more involved since they are primarily affected by the issue. An

example of this is the high prices of goods in the school canteen.

Due to its goal of developing students' problem-solving and decision-making skills,

the case strategy is often linked to problem-based learning. This philosophical

tradition can be traced back to Dewey's (1916) progressive belief that teachers

should always tap students' natural instincts to investigate and create. In the 1980's,

Barrows and Tamblyn eventually coined the term problem-based learning that

results from the process of working toward the understanding or resolution of a

problem.

Steps

There are three basic steps in implementing the case study strategy in the social

studies classroom:

1. Briefing. The teacher gives a brief background about the case. Aside from verbal,

instruction, he/she can use video, picture, story, and other forms of print media and

multimedia.

2. Discussion. Students are given sufficient time to analyze the given case and come

up with solutions. This may be effectively done by dividing the class into smaller

groups. Afterward, solutions are presented to the class.

3. Debriefing. The teacher stresses and clarifies social studies concepts and relates

these to students' analysis and solutions.

Advantages

The use of case studies in social studies has a number of advantages for students.

Because it is a learner-centered pedagogy, students are empowered as active agents

in the learning process instead of passive receptors of information. They have to

come up with their own interpretations and solutions instead of relying on the

teacher's generalizations. Moreover, they are given a platform to provide answers to

issues that real-world decision-makers are dealing with. Also, the case studies

strategy promotes a wide range of 21st century skills. It develops the learner's critical

and creative thinking skills through problem-solving and decision-making.

Furthermore, their communication, collaboration, and conflict resolution skills are

further developed because they are required to discuss and negotiate their proposed

solutions with their peers.

Tips

1. Choose cases that are complex to provide a challenge. Refrain from selecting

those that have easy and obvious solutions.

2. Emphasize to students that the process is as important as the product.

Communication is important, and they should ensure that the idea of each person is

valued.

3. Use graphic organizers to structure the discussion. You can use the Means-End

Analysis (MEA) to guide students' thinking processes and the Solutions Examination

to weigh their solutions.

D. Elaborate

Teacher will allow students to reflect on their own learning experiences through

asking a questions to them

1. What we have discussed a while ago? What you have learned about case study?

2. What are the five classification of case study?

3. What are the three steps needed to remember?"

 4. What have you learned from the tips and advantages of case study?

5. How case study important in teaching and learning process?

E. Evaluate

Read the K to 12 Curriculum Guide for Social Studies and choose one lesson from

Grade 1 to 6 and use the format I have given to develop a daily lesson plan that

utilizes the case study Strategy.
