  3. Reasons for using Case Studies • Working from reality to theory • Enables student to empathise with “real people” • Respectable history in pedagogy e.g. management studies • Interesting and lively

  4. Cases in “Understanding Careers” • Every chapter starts with a case • 50+ cases in all • Two complex cases: “Aston” and “Brigid” • Some “celebrity” cases • Cases discussed in the text • Use of larger-scale “parent” case as key assessment

  5. Sources of Cases • Research • Deliberate development for teaching • Family/friends • Biography – public figures • Internet • (NB: ethical issues, need for permission, disguise etc)

  6. Principles to Follow • Keep most cases simple • Have a few more complex cases • Choose and write the cases with theory in mind • Cases from personal experience add authenticity
