Application Of Case Teaching To Biology Class In The Middle School

The case teaching has its history of sprouting, coming into being and development. This kind of teaching is the method that let students to comprehend, and to master theories and knowledge, as well as to improve the understanding ability and compositive diatheses of students in a high school by choosing typical cases and organizing a group discussion or supply a certain scenario, according to a purpose of teaching.This thesis reviews the current situation of case teaching research at home and abroad,introduces the importance of case teaching research based on a deep base of theory, which were constructivism theory,floating theory, teaching communication theory, discovering learning theory, gestalt theory, and information processing theory,and analyzes the exiting problems in the case teaching research in the middle schools .This thesis aims at making an experiment on case teaching method in the local middle school,analyzing the existing problems in case teaching and drawing some pedagogical implications and suggestions for case teaching so as to prove the effectiveness of case teaching in biology teaching in the middle school.Any method of teaching is only scientifically applied; its advantage is exerted maximal. Four teaches to manage well for carrying out the case method of teaching is paid more attention as follows:choosing a better case, presenting case, discussion and analysis, and summarization and evaluation. Meanwhile, the positioning and switch of teacher and student's role is considered as well.The application of the case method of teaching in biological course will graduate develop into mature and the effect of this kind of teaching is increasingly significant, along with a constant reform of biological teaching, even though the study of the case method of teaching is still in starting stage currently.
