BAHTEN, Aline Cadena von  y  ENGELHORN, Carlos Alberto. Engaging students by writing good teaching cases: teacher training. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.52, pp.387-407.  Epub 02-Mar-2020. ISSN 1981-416X.  https://doi.org/10.7213/1981-416x.17.052.ds04.

The use of real-world context problems aims to motivate and engage students in effective learning settings. Some discussions that are promoted in the classroom do not reach these purposes if the case is not well written. We present a case study on the difficulties in creating case studies and problem-based learning (PBL) that promote student engagement. We have analyzed the reflections and the cases written by 30 instructors that had participated on teacher training workshops of PUCPR. We have evaluated the influence of an instrument to support good cases writing. The main problem encountered was the presence of information beyond necessary. This may cause students that are able to solve problems in the classroom, but that are unable to apply this learning in real life.

Palabras clave : Case study; Problem based learning; Teacher training; Students’ engajement; Real-world context.
