Origin and Popularity
The case-based teaching approach discussed here was first used in Harvard University to the medical circle and law circle, and it was adopted also by the management circle. It has been the main teaching approach in the European law colleges, and it was the standardized teaching approach in the systematic and critical analysis conducted by Association of American Law Schools. In the medical field, John Hopkins Hospital adopted this new teaching way to improve the bad condition of clinical practice. It was introduced into the education field inspired by the successful application in law and medical fields in the 1970s.
