Paper Title
Validating a Generic Measurement to Assess Case-based Learning among Halliwick Foundation Course Students
Abstract
A concern of many educators and managers is students’ inability to transfer concepts and procedures learned in
school to the work environment. Case-based Learning (CBL) is a pedagogy that offers experiences which engage students in
authentic problem solving thus helps to improve students’ ability to transfer knowledge, concepts, and skills learned in schools
to real-life contexts. Case studies are written summaries of real-life cases that require students to identify appropriate strategies
for the resolution of the 'case'. Due to the scant work done thus far to assess CBL, this study was aimed at designing and
validating a generic scale to assess perceptions of certificate program students (Halliwick foundation course) regarding the
various lifelong learning skills linked to CBL effective implementation.
