Abstract

The case method is considered a promising educational tool to bridge the gap between the classroom and companies, where students enjoy active participation in the learning process. However, little is known about how teachers and students use teaching cases. This paper has thus sought to research the teaching cases published in Brazil and identify how teachers have employed this tool. Data was collected through an analysis of 48 teaching cases published in business administration journals and conferences, in addition to a qualitative study with 61 teachers from three Minas Gerais State heis. The results show that, although an effort to construct cases is being undertaken by Brazilian researchers with recently published cases, this production has not been used by teachers in the institutions surveyed, due to their
overlooking event proceedings and journals as potential sources of cases. The main conclusion reached is that teachers lack the proper knowledge of what constitutes a case and how it should be employed.
