SUMMARY:Discussion leaders’ questions in the case method - Dr James Badg
 er\, University of North Georgia
DTSTART:20110531T113000Z

CONTACT:Susannah Lacon
DESCRIPTION:In this seminar\, Bernstein’s (1975) concepts of classificat
 ion and framing – together with the related notions of the collection co
 de and integrated code – will be introduced to analyze the discussion qu
 estions of university professors who incorporated case studies in their gr
 aduate-level education and business courses. As a theoretical framework to
  illuminate the questioning process in a case discussion\, I used classifi
 cation and framing to examine discussion leader’s questions that facilit
 ate students’ understanding of a case. Results from this investigation i
 dentify values related to the questioning process that purportedly fosters
  graduate students’ communication skills\, critically thinking abilities
 \, and problem solving proficiencies.  I will explore some of the influenc
 es of case-based studies on learners’ knowledge\, skills\, and values. I
  will query whether these and other abilities contribute to the developmen
 t of an epistemology of practice in reflective practitioners.\n
